Keypoint Communities
Duncan Zauss, Sven Kreiss, Alexandre Alahi, 2021.We present a fast bottom-up method that jointly detects over 100 keypoints on humans or objects, also referred to as human/object pose estimation. We model all keypoints belonging to a human or an object -the pose- as a graph and leverage insights from community detection to quantify the independence of keypoints. We use a graph centrality measure to assign training weights to different parts of a pose. Our proposed measure quantifies how tightly a keypoint is connected to its neighborhood. Our experiments show that our method outperforms all previous methods for human pose estimation with fine-grained keypoint annotations on the face, the hands and the feet with a total of 133 keypoints. We also show that our method generalizes to car poses.

Installation
This project is based on OpenPifPaf. Create a virtual environment with python 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9, clone this repo and then install the required packages:
git clone https://github.com/DuncanZauss/Keypoint_Communities.git
cd Keypoint_Communities
pip install -r requirements.txt
Obtain keypoint weights
To compute the keypoint weights with our method, download the preprocessed annotations of the MS COCO WholeBody dataset and/or the ApolloCar3D dataset with the following commands:
cd Keypoint_Communities/src
wget https://github.com/DuncanZauss/Keypoint_Communities/releases/download/v0.1.0/person_keypoints_train2017_wholebody_pifpaf_style.json
wget https://github.com/DuncanZauss/Keypoint_Communities/releases/download/v0.1.0/apollo_keypoints_66_train.json
To compute the average euclidean distance in the datasets for every edge run:
python Compute_edge_weights.py
To compute training weights with centrality measures as proposed in our paper run the following command:
python Compute_training_weights.py
You will find the computed weights in the respective csv file and a visualization of the computed weights in the respective docs folder.
Training
For training you will need to download the MS COCO dataset and the WholeBody keypoint annotations as explained here. To train an OpenPifPaf model with our keypoint weighting scheme, you can use the following command:
python -m openpifpaf.train --dataset=wholebody --lr=0.0001 --momentum=0.95 --b-scale=10.0 --clip-grad-value=10 --epochs=350 --lr-decay 330 340 --lr-decay-epochs=10 --lr-warm-up-start-epoch=250 --batch-size=16 --weight-decay=1e-5 --wholebody-upsample=2 --wholebody-extended-scale --wholebody-orientation-invariant=0.1 --checkpoint=shufflenetv2k30 --head-consolidation=create --wholebody-val-annotations=
/person_keypoints_val2017_wholebody_pifpaf_style.json --wholebody-train-annotations=
/person_keypoints_train2017_wholebody_pifpaf_style.json --wholebody-apply-local-centrality-weights
Evaluation
To evaluate a trained model you first need to download the annotation file from this link and than you can use the following command to evaluate a model:
python -m openpifpaf.eval --dataset=wholebody --checkpoint=shufflenetv2k30-wholebody --force-complete-pose --seed-threshold=0.2 --force-complete-caf-th=0.001 --wholebody-val-annotations=
/coco_wholebody_val_v1.0.json
The shufflenetv2k30-wholebody is our pretrained model, which was trained with the command from the Training section and will automatically be downloaded via torchhub. If you wish to evaluate your own model you can replace it with a local path to your model.

I use the same command 'python -m openpifpaf.predict docs/soccer.jpeg --checkpoint=shufflenetv2k30-wholebody --line-width=2 --show
' to run the prediction but the hands of the front person are not aligned as your shown image.
Did you use a different weight? Or is there any other problems?
