Introduction

OpenPose Caffe Training includes the modified Caffe version for training OpenPose. Check the training repository in github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose_train for all the training details.

It is authored by Gines Hidalgo, Zhe Cao, Yaadhav Raaj, Tomas Simon, Haroon Idrees, Donglai Xiang, Shih-En Wei, Hanbyul Joo, and Yaser Sheikh. It is based on the papers described in the Citation section and in Realtime Multi-Person Pose Estimation. In addition, OpenPose would not be possible without the CMU Panoptic Studio dataset. We would also like to thank all the people who helped OpenPose in any way.

This repository and its documentation assumes knowledge of OpenPose. If you have not used OpenPose yet, you must familiare yourself with it before attempting to follow this documentation.
