Cheng Yu, Bo Wang, Robby T. Tan
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2022.
- 05/18/2022 link to demo video of the TPAMI journal paper is added in the readme
- 08/27/2021 evaluation code of PCK and PCK_abs is updated by using bone length normalization option with dataset adaptation
- 06/18/2021 evaluation code of PCK (person-centric) and PCK_abs (camera-centric), and pre-trained model for MuPoTS dataset tested and released
Pytorch >= 1.5
Python >= 3.6
Create an enviroment.
conda create -n 3dmpp python=3.6
conda activate 3dmpp
Install the latest version of pytorch (tested on pytorch 1.5 - 1.7) based on your OS and GPU driver installed following install pytorch. For example, command to use on Linux with CUDA 11.0 is like:
pip install torch==1.7.1+cu110 torchvision==0.8.2+cu110 torchaudio==0.7.2 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Build the Fast Gaussian Map tool:
cd lib/fastgaus
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
cd ../..
Download the pre-trained model and processed human keypoint files here, and unzip the downloaded zip file to this project's root directory, two folders are expected to see after doing that (i.e., ./ckpts and ./mupots).
MuPoTS eval set is needed to perform evaluation as the results reported in Table 3 in the main paper, which is available on the MuPoTS dataset website. You need to download the mupots-3d-eval.zip file, unzip it, and run get_mupots-3d.sh to download the dataset.
if you encounter an error like: /bin/bash: bad interpreter ... , just launch:
sed -i 's/\r$//' get-mupots-3d.sh
After the download is complete, a MultiPersonTestSet.zip is avaiable, ~5.6 GB. Unzip it and move the folder MultiPersonTestSet to the root directory of the project to perform evaluation on MuPoTS test set. Now you should see the following directory structure.
${3D-Multi-Person-Pose_ROOT}
|-- ckpts <-- the downloaded pre-trained Models
|-- lib
|-- MultiPersonTestSet <-- the newly added MuPoTS eval set
|-- mupots <-- the downloaded processed human keypoint files
|-- util
|-- 3DMPP_framework.png
|-- calculate_mupots_btmup.py
|-- other python code, LICENSE, and README files
...
The following table is similar to Table 3 in the main paper, where the quantitative evaluations on MuPoTS-3D dataset are provided (best performance in bold). Evaluation instructions to reproduce the results (PCK and PCK_abs) are provided in the next section.
| Group | Methods | PCK | PCK_abs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Person-centric (relative 3D pose) | Mehta et al., 3DV'18 | 65.0 | N/A |
| Person-centric (relative 3D pose) | Rogez et al., IEEE TPAMI'19 | 70.6 | N/A |
| Person-centric (relative 3D pose) | Mehta et al., ACM TOG'20 | 70.4 | N/A |
| Person-centric (relative 3D pose) | Cheng et al., ICCV'19 | 74.6 | N/A |
| Person-centric (relative 3D pose) | Cheng et al., AAAI'20 | 80.5 | N/A |
| Camera-centric (absolute 3D pose) | Moon et al., ICCV'19 | 82.5 | 31.8 |
| Camera-centric (absolute 3D pose) | Lin et al., ECCV'20 | 83.7 | 35.2 |
| Camera-centric (absolute 3D pose) | Zhen et al., ECCV'20 | 80.5 | 38.7 |
| Camera-centric (absolute 3D pose) | Li et al., ECCV'20 | 82.0 | 43.8 |
| Camera-centric (absolute 3D pose) | Cheng et al., AAAI'21 | 87.5 | 45.7 |
| Camera-centric (absolute 3D pose) | Our method | 89.6 | 48.0 |
We split the whole pipeline into several separate steps to make it more clear for the users.
python calculate_mupots_topdown_pts.py
python calculate_mupots_topdown_depth.py
python calculate_mupots_btmup.py
python calculate_mupots_integrate.py
Please note that python calculate_mupots_btmup.py is going to take a while (30-40 minutes depending on your machine).
To evaluate the person-centric 3D multi-person pose estimation:
python eval_mupots_pck.py
After running the above code, the following PCK (person-centric, pelvis-based origin) value is expected, which matches the number reported in Table 3, PCK = 89 (percentage) in the paper.
...
Seq: 18
Seq: 19
Seq: 20
PCK_MEAN: 0.8923134794267524
Note: If procrustes analysis is used in eval_mupots_pck.py, the obtained value is slightly different (PCK_MEAN: 0.8994453169938017).
To evaluate camera-centric (i.e., camera coordinates) 3D multi-person pose estimation:
python eval_mupots_pck_abs.py
After running the above code, the following PCK_abs (camera-centric) value is expected, which matches the number reported in Table 3, PCK_abs = 48 (percentage) in the paper.
...
Seq: 18
Seq: 19
Seq: 20
PCK_MEAN: 0.48030635566606195
Note: If procrustes analysis is used in eval_mupots_pck_abs.py, the obtained value is slightly different (PCK_MEAN: 0.48514110933606175).
To run the code on your own video, it is needed to generate p2d, affpts, and affb (as defined here), which correspond to joints' location, joints' confidence, and bones' confidence.
- For p2d and affpts, any off-the-shelf 2D pose estimators can be used to extract joints' location and their confidence values.
- For affb, Part Affinity Field model can be used to extract the bone confidence, example code is here.
- Note that we use the keypoint definition of H36M dataset, which is compatible with CrowdPose dataset but different from the COCO keypoint definition.
