Single person pose detector pipeline using PoseNet
ITP Student Dan Oved's project, Pose, was profiled in Medium:
In collaboration with Google Creative Lab, I’m excited to announce the release of a TensorFlow.js version of PoseNet¹,² a machine learning model which allows for real-time human pose estimation in the browser. Try a live demo here.
So what is pose estimation anyway? Pose estimation refers to computer vision techniques that detect human figures in images and video, so that one could determine, for example, where someone’s elbow shows up in an image. To be clear, this technology is not recognizing who is in an image — there is no personal identifiable information associated to pose detection. The algorithm is simply estimating where key body joints are.
