Our project uses the mmpose toolbox for real-time 2D pose estimation (e.g., RTMPose).

Note: We use mmpose only for inference. Our project does not contain any custom modifications to the mmpose submodule itself.

To run the pose estimation demos, you must download the pre-trained model weights (checkpoints) from the official mmpose repository.

1. Find a Model: Visit the MMPose Model Zoo to find the checkpoint you need.

   • Example: rtmpose-l_simcc-aic-coco_pt-aic-coco_420e-2S26x192-f016ffe0_20230126.pth

2. Create Directory: Create a checkpoints/ folder inside the mmpose/ submodule directory.

3. Place Checkpoint: Download the .pth file and place it inside the new folder.

The final file structure should look like this:
