Running Google MoveNet Single Pose models on OpenVINO.

A convolutional neural network model that runs on RGB images and predicts human joint locations of a single person. Two variant: Lightning and Thunder, the latter being slower but more accurate. MoveNet uses an smart cropping based on detections from the previous frame when the input is a sequence of frames. This allows the model to devote its attention and resources to the main subject, resulting in much better prediction quality without sacrificing the speed.

You need OpenVINO 2021.3 (does not work with 2021.2) and OpenCV installed on your computer and to clone/download this repository.

Usage:

> python3 MovenetOpenvino.py -h                                               
usage: MovenetOpenvino.py [-h] [-i INPUT] [-p {16,32}]
                          [-m {lightning,thunder}] [--xml XML] [-d DEVICE]
                          [-s SCORE_THRESHOLD] [-o OUTPUT]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Path to video or image file to use as input
                        (default=0)
  -p {16,32}, --precision {16,32}
                        Precision (default=32
  -m {lightning,thunder}, --model {lightning,thunder}
                        Model to use (default=thunder
  --xml XML             Path to an .xml file for model
  -d DEVICE, --device DEVICE
                        Target device to run the model (default=CPU)
  -s SCORE_THRESHOLD, --score_threshold SCORE_THRESHOLD
                        Confidence score to determine whether a keypoint
                        prediction is reliable (default=0.200000)
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Path to output video file

Examples :

• To use default webcam camera as input, Thunder model on CPU :

  python3 MovenetOpenvino.py

• To use default webcam camera as input, Thunder model on MyriadX :

  python3 MovenetOpenvino.py -d MYRIAD

• To use a file (video or image) as input :

  python3 MovenetOpenvino.py -i filename

• To use Lightning instead of Thunder the version of the landmark model.

  python3 BlazeposeOpenvino.py -m lightning
