BlazePose - Super fast human pose detection on Tensorflow 2.x

BlazePose Tensorflow 2.x

This is an implementation of Google BlazePose in Tensorflow 2.x. The original paper is "BlazePose: On-device Real-time Body Pose tracking" by Valentin Bazarevsky, Ivan Grishchenko, Karthik Raveendran, Tyler Zhu, Fan Zhang, and Matthias Grundmann, which is available on arXiv. You can find some demonstrations of BlazePose from Google blog.

Currently, the model being developed in this repo is based on TFLite (.tflite) model from here. I use Netron.app to visualize the architecture and try to mimic that architecture in my implementation. The visualized model architecture can be found here. Other architectures will be added in the future.

Note: This repository is still under active development.

Update 14/12/2020: Our PushUp Counter App is using this BlazePose model to count pushups from videos/webcam. Read more.

TODOs

• Implementation

  • Initialize code for model from .tflite file.

  • Basic dataset loader

  • Implement loss function.

  • Implement training code.

  • Advanced augmentation: Random occlusion (BlazePose paper)

  • Implement demo code for video and webcam.

  • Support PCK metric.

  • Implement testing code.

  • Add training graph and pretrained models.

  • Support offset maps.

  • Experiment with other loss functions.

  • Workout counting from keypoints.

  • Rewrite in eager mode.

• Datasets

  • Support LSP dataset and LSPET dataset (partially). More.

  • Support PushUps dataset.

  • Support MPII dataset.

  • Support YOGA-82 dataset.

  • Custom dataset.

• Convert and run model in TF Lite format.

• Convert and run model in TensorRT.

• Convert and run model in Tensorflow.js.

Demo

• Download pretrained model for PushUp dataset here and put into trained_models/blazepose_pushup_v1.h5. Test with your webcam:

python run_video.py -c configs/mpii/config_blazepose_mpii_pushup_heatmap_bce_regress_huber.json  -m trained_models/blazepose_pushup_v1.h5 -v webcam --confidence 0.3

The pretrained model is only in experimental state now. It only detects 7 keypoints for Push Up counting and it may not produce a good result now. I will update other models in the future.

Training

NOTE: Currently, I only focus on PushUp datase, which contains 7 keypoints. Due to the copyright of this dataset, I don't have permission to publish it on the Internet. You can read the instruction and try with your own dataset.

• Prepare dataset using instruction from DATASET.md.

• Training heatmap branch:

python train.py -c configs/mpii/config_blazepose_mpii_pushup_heatmap_bce.json

• After heatmap branch converged, set load_weights to true and update the pretrained_weights_path to the best model, and continue with the regression branch:

python train.py -c configs/mpii/config_blazepose_mpii_pushup_heatmap_bce_regress_huber.json
