OpenPose Demo - Overview

Forget about the OpenPose library code, just compile the library and use the demo ./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin.

In order to learn how to use it, run ./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --help in your favorite command-line interface tool and read all the available flags (check only the flags for examples/openpose/openpose.cpp itself, i.e., the section Flags from examples/openpose/openpose.cpp:). We detail some of them in the following sections.

In Ubuntu, Mac, and other Unix systems, use any command-line interface, such as Terminal or Terminator. In Windows, open the PowerShell (recommended) or Windows Command Prompt (CMD). They can be open by pressing the Windows button + X, and then A. Feel free to watch any Youtube video tutorial if you are not familiar with these non-GUI tools. Make sure that you are in the root directory of the project (i.e., in the OpenPose folder, not inside build/ nor windows/ nor bin/).

Running on Images, Video or Webcam

See doc/quick_start.md#quick-start.

Pose + Face + Hands

See doc/quick_start.md#quick-start.

Maximum Accuracy Configuration

See doc/quick_start.md#maximum-accuracy-configuration.

Reducing Latency/Lag

In general, there are 3 ways to reduce the latency (with some drawbacks each one):

  • Reducing --output_resolution: It will slightly reduce the latency and increase the FPS. But the quality of the displayed image will deteriorate.
  • Reducing --net_resolution and/or --face_net_resolution and/or --hand_net_resolution: It will increase the FPS and reduce the latency. But the accuracy will drop, specially for small people in the image. Note: For maximum accuracy, follow doc/quick_start.md#maximum-accuracy-configuration.
  • Enabling --disable_multi_thread: The latency should be reduced. But the speed will drop to 1-GPU speed (as it will only use 1 GPU). Note that it's practical only for body, if hands and face are also extracted, it's usually not worth it.

Kinect 2.0 as Webcam on Windows 10

Since the Windows 10 Anniversary, Kinect 2.0 can be read as a normal webcam. All you need to do is go to device manager, expand the kinect sensor devices tab, right click and update driver of WDF kinectSensor Interface. If you already have another webcam, disconnect it or use --camera 2.

JSON Output with No Visualization

The following example runs the demo video video.avi and outputs JSON files in output/. Note: see doc/output.md to understand the format of the JSON files.

# Only body
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --write_json output/ --display 0 --render_pose 0
# Body + face + hands
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --write_json output/ --display 0 --render_pose 0 --face --hand

JSON Output + Rendered Images Saving

The following example runs the demo video video.avi, renders image frames on output/result.avi, and outputs JSON files in output/. Note: see doc/output.md to understand the format of the JSON files.

./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --write_video output/result.avi --write_json output/

Hands

# Fast method for speed
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --hand
# Best results found with 6 scales
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --hand --hand_scale_number 6 --hand_scale_range 0.4
# Adding tracking to Webcam (if FPS per GPU > 10 FPS) and Video
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --hand --hand_detector 3
# Multi-scale + tracking is also possible
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --hand --hand_scale_number 6 --hand_scale_range 0.4 --hand_detector 3

Rendering Face and Hands without Pose

# CPU rendering (faster)
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --render_pose 0 --face --face_render 1 --hand --hand_render 1
# GPU rendering
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --render_pose 0 --face --face_render 2 --hand --hand_render 2

Debugging Information

# Basic information
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --logging_level 3
# Showing all messages
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --logging_level 0

Selecting Some GPUs

The following example runs the demo video video.avi, parallelizes it over 2 GPUs, GPUs 1 and 2 (note that it will skip GPU 0):

./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --num_gpu 2 --num_gpu_start 1

Heat Maps Storing

The following command will save all the body part heat maps, background heat map and Part Affinity Fields (PAFs) in the folder output_heatmaps_folder. It will save them on PNG format. Instead of individually saving each of the 67 heatmaps (18 body parts + background + 2 x 19 PAFs) individually, the library concatenate them vertically into a huge (width x #heatmaps) x (height) matrix. The PAFs channels are multiplied by 2 because there is one heatmpa for the x-coordinates and one for the y-coordinates. The order is body parts + bkg + PAFs. It will follow the sequence on POSE_BODY_PART_MAPPING in include/openpose/pose/poseParameters.hpp.

./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi --heatmaps_add_parts --heatmaps_add_bkg --heatmaps_add_PAFs --write_heatmaps output_heatmaps_folder/

Main Flags

We enumerate some of the most important flags, check the Flags Detailed Description section or run ./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --help for a full description of all of them.

For maximum speed-accuracy balance, it should keep the closest aspect ratio possible to the images or videos to be processed.
