Realtime Multi-Person Pose Estimation data server. Used as a training and validation data provider in training process.

RMPE Dataset Server

This server generates augmented samples for the project keras_Realtime_Multi-Person_Pose_Estimation Source samples are retrieved from the hdf5 dataset file and processed in realtime using random cropping, rotations, flipping and scaling.

Prerequisites

• OpenCV
• Boost
• Hdf5
• libzmq
• cppzmq

Building

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make

Usage

Usage:

./rmpe_dataset_server [DATASET] [PORT]

DATASET - path to the hdf5 dataset generated by the tool generate_hdf5.py

PORT - port number where augmented data are emitted.

Basically, you need to start a separate server for training dataset and validation dataset. The procedure of training looks something like:

1. Start training data server in the first terminal session ./rmpe_dataset_server ../../keras_Realtime_Multi-Person_Pose_Estimation/dataset/train_dataset.h5 5555
2. Start validation data server in a second terminal session ./rmpe_dataset_server ../../keras_Realtime_Multi-Person_Pose_Estimation/dataset/val_dataset.h5 5556
3. Train the model in a third terminal python train_pose.py

Troubleshooting

If you see the error

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH

then export the path to your OpenCV location (ex. export OpenCV_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/3.3.0_3/share/OpenCV)

rmpe_dataset_server's Issues

errors while running "make"

I got some errors while running make command. the cmake .. built successfully but got following errors while running make. i am using linux terminal with python 2.7
I am unable to understand the error. the code for the socket seems correct but still got this error. along with the errors i have got some warnings as well. I have attached both the snap shots below.

Is this a typo?

After compiling the repo I get :
./rmpe_dataset_transformer [DATASET] [PORT]

However, in the documentation says it should be:
./rmpe_dataset_server [DATASET] [PORT]

Is this a typo or am I doing something wrong?

Problem in Building

This is the output after running cmake

~/rmpe_dataset_server/build$ cmake
Usage

  cmake [options] <path-to-source>
  cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>

Specify a source directory to (re-)generate a build system for it in the
current working directory.  Specify an existing build directory to
re-generate its build system.

Run 'cmake --help' for more information.

I got some error when I compile rmpe server.

I got this error.

It said "Could not find a configuration file for package "cppzmq" that is compatible
with requested version "". "

How to set reasonable parameters

@michalfaber Thanks for sharing, I want to try this training but I don't know how to set parameters，what should i do ? thank you.
