# Model Card for Sapiens

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

Sapiens is a family of vision transformers pretrained on 300 million human images at 1024 x 1024 image resolution.\
The pretrained models when finetuned for human-centric vision tasks generalize to in-the-wild conditions.

## Model Details


### Model Description

Sapiens, a family of models for four fundamental human-centric vision tasks - 2D pose estimation, body-part segmentation, depth estimation, and surface normal prediction. 
Our models natively support 1K high-resolution inference and are extremely easy to adapt for individual tasks by simply fine-tuning models pretrained on over 300 million in-the-wild human images. 
The resulting models exhibit remarkable generalization to in-the-wild data, even when labeled data is scarce or entirely synthetic. 
Our simple model design also brings scalability - model performance across tasks improves as we scale the parameters from 0.3 to 2 billion. 
Sapiens consistently surpasses existing baselines across various human-centric benchmarks.
