rtmlib 0.0.12

A library for real-time pose estimation.

rtmlib

rtmlib is a super lightweight library to conduct pose estimation based on RTMPose models WITHOUT any dependencies like mmcv, mmpose, mmdet, etc.

Basically, rtmlib only requires these dependencies:

• numpy
• opencv-python
• opencv-contrib-python
• onnxruntime

Optionally, you can use other common backends like opencv, onnxruntime, openvino, tensorrt to accelerate the inference process.

• For openvino users, please add the path <your python path>\envs\<your env name>\Lib\site-packages\openvino\libs into your environment path.

Installation

• install from pypi:

pip install rtmlib -i https://pypi.org/simple

• install from source code:

git clone https://github.com/Tau-J/rtmlib.git
cd rtmlib

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip install -e .

# [optional]
# pip install onnxruntime-gpu
# pip install openvino

Quick Start

Here is a simple demo to show how to use rtmlib to conduct pose estimation on a single image.

import cv2

from rtmlib import Wholebody, draw_skeleton

device = 'cpu'  # cpu, cuda, mps
backend = 'onnxruntime'  # opencv, onnxruntime, openvino
img = cv2.imread('./demo.jpg')

openpose_skeleton = False  # True for openpose-style, False for mmpose-style

wholebody = Wholebody(to_openpose=openpose_skeleton,
                      mode='balanced',  # 'performance', 'lightweight', 'balanced'. Default: 'balanced'
                      backend=backend, device=device)

keypoints, scores = wholebody(img)

# visualize

# if you want to use black background instead of original image,
# img_show = np.zeros(img_show.shape, dtype=np.uint8)

img_show = draw_skeleton(img_show, keypoints, scores, kpt_thr=0.5)


cv2.imshow('img', img_show)
cv2.waitKey()

WebUI

Run webui.py:

# Please make sure you have installed gradio
# pip install gradio

python webui.py

APIs

• Solutions (High-level APIs)
  • Wholebody
  • Body
  • Body_with_feet
  • Hand
  • PoseTracker
• Models (Low-level APIs)
  • YOLOX
  • RTMDet
  • RTMPose
    • RTMPose for 17 keypoints

For high-level APIs (Solution), you can choose to pass mode or det+pose arguments to specify the detector and pose estimator you want to use.

# By mode
wholebody = Wholebody(mode='performance',  # 'performance', 'lightweight', 'balanced'. Default: 'balanced'
                      backend=backend,
                      device=device)

# By det and pose
body = Body(det='https://download.openmmlab.com/mmpose/v1/projects/rtmposev1/onnx_sdk/yolox_x_8xb8-300e_humanart-a39d44ed.zip',
            det_input_size=(640, 640),
            pose='https://download.openmmlab.com/mmpose/v1/projects/rtmposev1/onnx_sdk/rtmpose-x_simcc-body7_pt-body7_700e-384x288-71d7b7e9_20230629.zip',
            pose_input_size=(288, 384),
            backend=backend,
            device=device)

For low-level APIs (Model), you can specify the model you want to use by passing the onnx_model argument.

# By onnx_model (.onnx)
pose_model = RTMPose(onnx_model='/path/to/your_model.onnx',  # download link or local path
                     backend=backend, device=device)

# By onnx_model (.zip)
pose_model = RTMPose(onnx_model='https://download.openmmlab.com/mmpose/v1/projects/rtmposev1/onnx_sdk/rtmpose-m_simcc-body7_pt-body7_420e-256x192-e48f03d0_20230504.zip',  # download link or local path
                     backend=backend, device=device)

Model Zoo

By defaults, rtmlib will automatically download and apply models with the best performance.

More models can be found in RTMPose Model Zoo.

Detectors

Person

Notes:

• Models trained on HumanArt can detect both real human and cartoon characters.
• Models trained on COCO can only detect real human.
