2D Body Keypoint Datasets

It is recommended to symlink the dataset root to $MMPOSE/data. If your folder structure is different, you may need to change the corresponding paths in config files.

MMPose supported datasets:

COCO

COCO (ECCV'2014)

}

For COCO data, please download from COCO download, 2017 Train/Val is needed for COCO keypoints training and validation. HRNet-Human-Pose-Estimation provides person detection result of COCO val2017 to reproduce our multi-person pose estimation results. Please download from OneDrive or GoogleDrive. Optionally, to evaluate on COCO’2017 test-dev, please download the image-info. Download and extract them under $MMPOSE/data, and make them look like this:

During training and inference, the prediction result will be saved as ‘.mat’ format by default. We also provide a tool to convert this ‘.mat’ to more readable ‘.json’ format.

python tools/dataset/mat2json ${PRED_MAT_FILE} ${GT_JSON_FILE} ${OUTPUT_PRED_JSON_FILE}

For example,

python tools/dataset/mat2json work_dirs/res50_mpii_256x256/pred.mat data/mpii/annotations/mpii_val.json pred.json
