Introduction

English | 简体中文

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+. Please kindly note that MMPose will switch to PyTorch 1.5+ from Oct. 2021. The compatibility to earlier versions of PyTorch will no longer be guaranteed.

Major Features

• Support diverse tasks

  We support a wide spectrum of mainstream pose analysis tasks in current research community, including 2d multi-person human pose estimation, 2d hand pose estimation, 2d face landmark detection, 133 keypoint whole-body human pose estimation, 3d human mesh recovery, fashion landmark detection and animal pose estimation. See demo.md for more information.

• Higher efficiency and higher accuracy

  MMPose implements multiple state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning models, including both top-down & bottom-up approaches. 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 popular and representative 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.
