Regression with Residual Log-likelihood Estimation

TODO

• Provide minimal implementation of RLE loss.
• Add model zoo.
• Provide implementation on Human3.6M dataset.
• Provide implementation on COCO dataset.

Installation

1. Install pytorch >= 1.1.0 following official instruction.
2. Install rlepose:

pip install cython
python setup.py develop

3. Install COCOAPI.

pip install -U 'git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI'

4. Init data directory:

mkdir data

5. Download COCO data, MPII (annotations) and Human3.6M data (from PoseNet or ours):
