CrowdPose: Efficient Crowded Scenes Pose Estimation and A New Benchmark (accepted to CVPR2019)
Our proposed method surpasses the state-of-the-art methods on CrowdPose dataset by 5 mAP and results on MSCOCO dataset demonstrate the generalization ability of our method (comparatively 0.8 mAP higher). Images in our proposed CrowdPose dataset have a uniform distribution of Crowd Index among [0, 1].
We provide evaluation tools for CrowdPose dataset. Our evaluation tools is developed based on @cocodataset/cocoapi. The source code of our model is integrated into AlphaPose.
Run with matching option to use the matching algorithm in CrowdPose.
- Input dir: Run AlphaPose for all images in a folder with:
# pytorch branch
python3 demo.py --indir ${img_directory} --outdir examples/res --matching
