## AlphaPose
[AlphaPose](http://www.mvig.org/research/alphapose.html) is an accurate multi-person pose estimator, which is the **first open-source system that achieves 70+ mAP (75 mAP) on COCO dataset and 80+ mAP (82.1 mAP) on MPII dataset.**
To match poses that correspond to the same person across frames, we also provide an efficient online pose tracker called Pose Flow. It is the **first open-source online pose tracker that achieves both 60+ mAP (66.5 mAP) and 50+ MOTA (58.3 MOTA) on PoseTrack Challenge dataset.**
AlphaPose supports both Linux and **Windows!**
COCO 17 keypoints

## Installation
Please check out [docs/INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md)
## Model Zoo
Please check out [docs/MODEL_ZOO.md](docs/MODEL_ZOO.md)
## Quick Start
- **Colab**: We provide a [colab example](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1_3Wxi4H3QGVC28snL3rHIoeMAwI2otMR?usp=sharing) for your quick start.
- **Inference**: Inference demo
``` bash
./scripts/inference.sh ${CONFIG} ${CHECKPOINT} ${VIDEO_NAME} # ${OUTPUT_DIR}, optional
```
Inference SMPL (Download the SMPL model `basicModel_neutral_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl` from [here](https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/) and put it in `model_files/`).
``` bash
./scripts/inference_3d.sh ./configs/smpl/256x192_adam_lr1e-3-res34_smpl_24_3d_base_2x_mix.yaml ${CHECKPOINT} ${VIDEO_NAME} # ${OUTPUT_DIR}, optional
```
For high level API, please refer to `./scripts/demo_api.py`. To enable tracking, please refer to [this page](./trackers).
- **Training**: Train from scratch
``` bash
./scripts/train.sh ${CONFIG} ${EXP_ID}
```
- **Validation**: Validate your model on MSCOCO val2017
``` bash
./scripts/validate.sh ${CONFIG} ${CHECKPOINT}
```
Examples:
Demo using `FastPose` model.
``` bash
./scripts/inference.sh configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml pretrained_models/fast_res50_256x192.pth ${VIDEO_NAME}
#or
python scripts/demo_inference.py --cfg configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml --checkpoint pretrained_models/fast_res50_256x192.pth --indir examples/demo/
#or if you want to use yolox-x as the detector
python scripts/demo_inference.py --detector yolox-x --cfg configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml --checkpoint pretrained_models/fast_res50_256x192.pth --indir examples/demo/
```
Train `FastPose` on mscoco dataset.
``` bash
./scripts/train.sh ./configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml exp_fastpose
```
