Deep High-Resolution Representation Learning for Human Pose Estimation (CVPR 2019)

Introduction

This is an official pytorch implementation of Deep High-Resolution Representation Learning for Human Pose Estimation. In this work, we are interested in the human pose estimation problem with a focus on learning reliable high-resolution representations. Most existing methods recover high-resolution representations from low-resolution representations produced by a high-to-low resolution network. Instead, our proposed network maintains high-resolution representations through the whole process. We start from a high-resolution subnetwork as the first stage, gradually add high-to-low resolution subnetworks one by one to form more stages, and connect the mutli-resolution subnetworks in parallel. We conduct repeated multi-scale fusions such that each of the high-to-low resolution representations receives information from other parallel representations over and over, leading to rich high-resolution representations. As a result, the predicted keypoint heatmap is potentially more accurate and spatially more precise. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our network through the superior pose estimation results over two benchmark datasets: the COCO keypoint detection dataset and the MPII Human Pose dataset.

Note:

Environment

The code is developed using python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.04. NVIDIA GPUs are needed. The code is developed and tested using 4 NVIDIA P100 GPU cards. Other platforms or GPU cards are not fully tested.

Quick start

Installation

  1. Install pytorch >= v1.0.0 following official instruction. Note that if you use pytorch's version < v1.0.0, you should following the instruction at https://github.com/Microsoft/human-pose-estimation.pytorch to disable cudnn's implementations of BatchNorm layer. We encourage you to use higher pytorch's version(>=v1.0.0)

  2. Clone this repo, and we'll call the directory that you cloned as ${POSE_ROOT}.

  3. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  4. Make libs:

    cd ${POSE_ROOT}/lib
make

  5. Install COCOAPI:

    # COCOAPI=/path/to/clone/cocoapi
git clone https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git $COCOAPI
cd $COCOAPI/PythonAPI
# Install into global site-packages
make install
# Alternatively, if you do not have permissions or prefer
# not to install the COCO API into global site-packages
python3 setup.py install --user

    Note that instructions like # COCOAPI=/path/to/install/cocoapi indicate that you should pick a path where you'd like to have the software cloned and then set an environment variable (COCOAPI in this case) accordingly.

  6. Init output(training model output directory) and log(tensorboard log directory) directory:

    mkdir output 
mkdir log

    Your directory tree should look like this:

    ${POSE_ROOT}
├── data
├── experiments
├── lib
├── log
├── models
├── output
├── tools 
├── README.md
└── requirements.txt

  7. Download pretrained models from our model zoo(GoogleDrive or OneDrive)
