Python bindings for the awesome Openpose library.

Openpose github page

Clone and build openpose. I assume you will also build caffe inside openpose 3rdparty folder. Set an environment variable named OPENPOSE_ROOT pointing to the openpose root folder.

Note: Openpose lib is under heavy development and the API changes very often. Some API changes will break PyOpenPose. I try to upgrade as soon as possible but I am usually a few days behind. Openning an issue helps to speed-up the proccess. Current PyOpenPose version is built with openpose commit 1b0325e

Note: PyOpenPose requires opencv3.x. You will have to build openpose with opencv3 as well.

Inside the root folder of PyOpenpose run cmake and build with:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Add the folder containing PyOpenPose.so to your PYTHONPATH.

• make sure cmake discovers python3 libraries and include dirs.
• set cmake to discover the boost_python libs for python3 or set libboost_python.so to point to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py35.so
• run the example scripts with python3

Check the scripts folder for python examples using PyOpenPose.
