📝 Model Description

DETRPose introduces the first real-time end-to-end framework for multi-person pose estimation. By leveraging the hybrid encoder from RT-DETR and the lightweight decoder architecture of D-FINE, DETRPose achieves low-latency inference without sacrificing accuracy. The model introduces two primary methodological advancements:

• Pose-LQE Layer: A specialized head designed to improve confidence scores.
• Advanced Training Paradigm: Incorporates Denoising Keypoints and a custom Keypoint Similarity Varifocal loss function, ensuring robust learning and superior localization performance.

🚀 Installation

To use this model, you need to install the inference-ready branch of the DETRPose repository. You can directly install the inference-ready branch using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/SebastianJanampa/DETRPose.git@inference_only

💻 Usage

This branch is designed to be easy to use for inference. Here is a quick example of how to load a model and run it on a live webcam feed.

from detrpose import DETR

# Initialization
model = DETR(model='detrpose_hgnetv2_m')

# Inference
model(source=0) # inference on a webcam
