mmpose 0.7.0

OpenMMLab Pose Estimation Toolbox and Benchmark.

Introduction

MMPose is an open-source toolbox for pose estimation based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.

The master branch works with PyTorch 1.3+.

Major Features

• Support top-down & bottom-up approaches

  MMPose implements multiple state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning models for human pose estimation, including both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

• Higher efficiency and Higher Accuracy

  We achieve faster training speed and higher accuracy than other popular codebases, such as HRNet. See benchmark.md for more information.

• Support for various datasets

  The toolbox directly supports multiple datasets, COCO, AIC, MPII, MPII-TRB, OCHuman etc. See data_preparation.md for more information.

• Well designed, tested and documented

  We decompose MMPose into different components and one can easily construct a customized pose estimation framework by combining different modules. We provide detailed documentation and API reference, as well as unittests.
