This is the project website containing relevant files for the CVPR 2020 paper "Cascaded deep monocular 3D human pose estimation with evolutionary training data". The usage and instructions are organized into several parts serving distinct purposes. Please visit the corresponding sub-page for details. For Q&A, go to discussions. If you believe there is a technical problem, submit to issues.
News:
(2021-04-08): Release v-1.0. The support for pre-trained models is strengthened. More details have been added to the supplementary material.
Cascaded 2D-to-3D Lifting
This sub-page details how to train a cascaded model to lift 2D key-points to 3D skeletons on H36M.
If you do not want to prepare synthetic data and train the model by yourself, you can access an examplar pre-trained model here and follow the instructions in the document. This model can be used for in-the-wild inference as well as reproducing the results on MPI-INF-3DHP. The evaluation metric for MPI-INF-3DHP can be accessed here.

Dataset: Unconstrained 3D Pose in the Wild
This sub-page describs the newly collected dataset Unconstrained 3D Human Pose in the Wild (U3DPW) and gives instructions on how to download it.
<p align="center"> <img src="https://github.com/Nicholasli1995/EvoSkeleton/blob/master/imgs/U3DPW.png"/> </p>Interactive Annotation Tool
This sub-page provides usage of an annotation tool that can be used to label 2D and 3D skeleton for an input image. U3DPW was obtained created with this tool and this tool may help increasing the scale of 3D annotation for in-the-wild images.
