higher-hrnet-w32-human-pose-estimation#
Use Case and High-Level Description#
The HigherHRNet-W32
model is one of the HigherHRNet.
HigherHRNet
is a novel bottom-up human pose
estimation method for learning scale-aware representations using high-resolution feature pyramids. The network uses HRNet as backbone, followed by one or more deconvolution modules to generate multi-resolution and high-resolution heatmaps. For every person in an image, the network detects a human pose: a body skeleton consisting of keypoints and connections between them. The pose may contain up to 17 keypoints: ears, eyes, nose, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.
This is PyTorch* implementation pre-trained on COCO dataset.
For details about implementation of model, check out the HigherHRNet: Scale-Aware Representation Learning for Bottom-Up Human Pose Estimation repository.

, shape - 1, 3, 512, 512
, format is B, C, H, W
, where:
B

.
Output#
The net outputs two blobs:
heatmaps
of shape1, 17, 256, 256
containing location heatmaps for keypoints of pose. Locations that are filtered out by non-maximum suppression algorithm have negated values assigned to them.embeddings
of shape1, 17, 256, 256
containing associative embedding values, which are used for grouping individual keypoints into poses.
