## Introduction

The keypoint detection part in PaddleDetection follows the state-of-the-art algorithm closely, including Top-Down and Bottom-Up methods, which can satisfy the different needs of users.

Top-Down detects the object first and then detect the specific keypoint. The accuracy of Top-Down models will be higher, but the time required will increase by the number of objects.


Differently, Bottom-Up detects the point first and then group or connect those points to form several instances of human pose. The speed of Bottom-Up is fixed and will not increase by the number of objects, but the accuracy will be lower.

At the same time, PaddleDetection provides [PP-TinyPose](./tiny_pose/README_en.md) specially for mobile devices.

We also release [PP-TinyPose](./tiny_pose/README_en.md), a real-time keypoint detection model optimized for mobile devices. Welcome to experience.

## Getting Start

### 1.Environmental Installation

​    Please refer to [PaddleDetection Installation Guide](../../docs/tutorials/INSTALL.md) to install PaddlePaddle and PaddleDetection correctly.

### 2.Dataset Preparation

​    Currently, KeyPoint Detection Models support [COCO](https://cocodataset.org/#keypoints-2017) and [MPII](http://human-pose.mpi-inf.mpg.de/#overview). Please refer to [Keypoint Dataset Preparation](../../docs/tutorials/PrepareKeypointDataSet_en.md) to prepare dataset.

​   About the description for config files, please refer to [Keypoint Config Guild](../../docs/tutorials/KeyPointConfigGuide_en.md).

- Note that, when testing by detected bounding boxes in Top-Down method, We should get `bbox.json` by a detection model. You can download the detected results for COCO val2017 [(Detector having human AP of 56.4 on COCO val2017 dataset)](https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/data/bbox.json) directly, put it at the root path (`PaddleDetection/`), and set `use_gt_bbox: False` in config file.

### 3.Training and Testing

#### Training on single GPU

```shell
#COCO DataSet
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 tools/train.py -c configs/keypoint/higherhrnet/higherhrnet_hrnet_w32_512.yml

#MPII DataSet
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 tools/train.py -c configs/keypoint/hrnet/hrnet_w32_256x256_mpii.yml
```

#### Training on multiple GPU

```shell
#COCO DataSet
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python3 -m paddle.distributed.launch tools/train.py -c configs/keypoint/higherhrnet/higherhrnet_hrnet_w32_512.yml

#MPII DataSet
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python3 -m paddle.distributed.launch tools/train.py -c configs/keypoint/hrnet/hrnet_w32_256x256_mpii.yml
```

### 4.Complete Deploy Instruction and Demo

​ We provide standalone deploy of PaddleInference(Server-GPU)、PaddleLite(mobile、ARM)、Third-Engine(MNN、OpenVino), which is independent of training codes。For detail, please click [Deploy-docs](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/develop/deploy/README_en.md)。

## Train with custom data

We take an example of [tinypose_256x192](.tiny_pose/README_en.md) to show how to train with custom data.

#### 1、For configs [tinypose_256x192.yml](../../configs/keypoint/tiny_pose/tinypose_256x192.yml)

you may need to modity these for your job：

```
num_joints: &num_joints 17    #the number of joints in your job
train_height: &train_height 256   #the height of model input
train_width: &train_width 192   #the width of model input
hmsize: &hmsize [48, 64]  #the shape of model output，usually 1/4 of [w,h]
flip_perm: &flip_perm [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8], [9, 10], [11, 12], [13, 14], [15, 16]] #the correspondence between left and right keypoint id，used for flip transform。You can add an line(by "flip: False") behind of flip_pairs in RandomFlipHalfBodyTransform of TrainReader if you don't need it
num_joints_half_body: 8   #The joint numbers of half body, used for half_body transform
prob_half_body: 0.3   #The probility of half_body transform, set to 0 if you don't need it
upper_body_ids: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]    #The joint ids of half(upper) body, used to get the upper joints in half_body transform
```

For more configs, please refer to [KeyPointConfigGuide](../../docs/tutorials/KeyPointConfigGuide_en.md)。

#### 2、Others(used for test and visualization)
- In keypoint_utils.py, please set: "sigmas = np.array([.26, .25, .25, .35, .35, .79, .79, .72, .72, .62, .62, 1.07, 1.07,.87, .87, .89, .89]) / 10.0", the value indicate the variance of a joint locations，normally 0.25-0.5 means the location is highly accuracy，for example: eyes。0.5-1.0 means the location is not sure so much，for example: shoulder。0.75 is recommand if you not sure。
- In visualizer.py, please set "EDGES" in draw_pose function，this indicate the line to show between joints for visualization。
- In pycocotools you installed, please set "sigmas"，it is the same as that in keypoint_utils.py, but used for coco evaluation。

#### 3、Note for data preparation
- The data should has the same format as Coco data, and the keypoints(Nx3) and bbox(N) should be annotated.
- please set "area">0 in annotations files otherwise it will be skiped while training. Moreover, due to the evaluation mechanism of COCO, the data with small area may also be filtered out during evaluation. We recommend to set `area = bbox_w * bbox_h` when customizing your dataset.


## BenchMark

We provide benchmarks in different runtime environments for your reference when choosing models. See [Keypoint Inference Benchmark](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/develop/configs/keypoint/KeypointBenchmark.md) for details.
