Integral Human Pose Regression
The major contributors of this repository include Xiao Sun, Chuankang Li, Bin Xiao, Fangyin Wei, Yichen Wei.
Introduction
Integral Regression is initially described in an ECCV 2018 paper. (Slides).
We build a 3D pose estimation system based mainly on the Integral Regression, placing second in the ECCV2018 3D Human Pose Estimation Challenge. Note that, the winner Sarandi et al. also uses the Integral Regression (or soft-argmax) with a better augmented 3D dataset in their method indicating the Integral Regression is the currently state-of-the-art 3D human pose estimation method.
The Integral Regression is also known as soft-argmax. Please refer to two contemporary works (Luvizon et al. and Nibali et al.) for a better comparision and more comprehensive understanding.

This is an official implementation for Integral Human Pose Regression based on Pytorch. It is worth noticing that:
- The original implementation is based on our internal Mxnet version. There are slight differences in the final accuracy and running time due to the plenty details in platform switch.

Usage
We have placed some example config files in experiments folder, and you can use them straight forward. Don't modify them unless you know exactly what it means.
Train
For Integral Human Pose Regression, cd to pytorch_projects/integral_human_pose <br/> Integral Regression
python train.py --cfg=experiments/hm36/resnet50v1_ft/d-mh_ps-256_deconv256x3_min-int-l1_adam_bs32-4gpus_x300-270-290/lr1e-3.yaml --dataroot=../../data/
Direct Joint Regression
python train.py --cfg=experiments/hm36/resnet50v1_ft/d-mh_ps-256_dj_l1_adam_bs32-4gpus_x140-90-120/lr1e-3.yaml --dataroot=../../data/
For 3D pose estimation system of ECCV18 Challenge, cd to pytorch_projects/hm36_challenge
python train.py --cfg=experiments/hm36/resnet152v1_ft/d-mh_ps-256_deconv256x3_min-int-l1_adam_bs24-4gpus_x300-270-290/lr1e-3.yaml --dataroot=../../data/
By default, logging and model will be saved to log and output folder respectively.
Test
To run evaluation on CHALL_H80K Val dataset
- Download model
- Place it under $project_root/model/hm36_challenge
- cd to $project_root/pytorch_projects/hm36_challenge
- execute command below
python test.py --cfg experiments/hm36/resnet152v1_ft/d-mch_384x288_deconv256x3_min-int-l1_adam_bs12-4gpus/lr1e-4_x300-270-290.yaml --model=../../model/hm36_challenge/model_chall_train_152ft_384x288.pth.tar
Extensions
- The project is built on old version of pytorch(0.4.0), and currently the latest released one has updated to 1.0.1. So there may be some compatibility problems. Please feel free to submit new issues.
