Updates

[2023-01-10] Update ViTPose++! It uses MoE strategies to jointly deal with human, animal, and wholebody pose estimation tasks.

[2022-05-24] Upload the single-task training code, single-task pre-trained models, and multi-task pretrained models.

[2022-05-06] Upload the logs for the base, large, and huge models!

[2022-04-27] Our ViTPose with ViTAE-G obtains 81.1 AP on COCO test-dev set!

Applications of ViTAE Transformer include: image classification | object detection | semantic segmentation | animal pose segmentation | remote sensing | matting | VSA | ViTDet

Usage

We use PyTorch 1.9.0 or NGC docker 21.06, and mmcv 1.3.9 for the experiments.

git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv.git
cd mmcv
git checkout v1.3.9
MMCV_WITH_OPS=1 pip install -e .
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/ViTAE-Transformer/ViTPose.git
cd ViTPose
pip install -v -e .

After install the two repos, install timm and einops, i.e.,

pip install timm==0.4.9 einops

After downloading the pretrained models, please conduct the experiments by running

# for single machine
bash tools/dist_train.sh <Config PATH> <NUM GPUs> --cfg-options model.pretrained=<Pretrained PATH> --seed 0

# for multiple machines
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nnodes <Num Machines> --node_rank <Rank of Machine> --nproc_per_node <GPUs Per Machine> --master_addr <Master Addr> --master_port <Master Port> tools/train.py <Config PATH> --cfg-options model.pretrained=<Pretrained PATH> --launcher pytorch --seed 0

To test the pretrained models performance, please run

bash tools/dist_test.sh <Config PATH> <Checkpoint PATH> <NUM GPUs>

For ViTPose++ pre-trained models, please first re-organize the pre-trained weights using

python tools/model_split.py --source <Pretrained PATH>

Todo

This repo current contains modifications including:

• Upload configs and pretrained models

• More models with SOTA results

• Upload multi-task training config
