3D Body Mesh Recovery Datasets¶

It is recommended to symlink the dataset root to $MMPOSE/data. If your folder structure is different, you may need to change the corresponding paths in config files.

To achieve high-quality human mesh estimation, we use multiple datasets for training. The following items should be prepared for human mesh training:

Notes¶

Annotation Files for Human Mesh Estimation¶

For human mesh estimation, we use multiple datasets for training. The annotation of different datasets are preprocessed to the same format. Please follow the preprocess procedure of SPIN to generate the annotation files or download the processed files from here, and make it look like this:

mmpose
├── mmpose
├── docs
├── tests
├── tools
├── configs
`── data
    │── mesh_annotation_files
        ├── coco_2014_train.npz
        ├── h36m_valid_protocol1.npz
        ├── h36m_valid_protocol2.npz
        ├── hr-lspet_train.npz
        ├── lsp_dataset_original_train.npz
        ├── mpi_inf_3dhp_train.npz
        └── mpii_train.npz

SMPL Model¶

SMPL (TOG'2015)

  year={2015},
  publisher={ACM New York, NY, USA}
}

For human mesh estimation, SMPL model is used to generate the human mesh. Please download the gender neutral SMPL model, joints regressor and mean parameters under $MMPOSE/models/smpl, and make it look like this:

For COCO data, please download from COCO download. COCO’2014 Train is needed for human mesh estimation training. Download and extract them under $MMPOSE/data, and make them look like this:

Human3.6M¶

Human3.6M (TPAMI'2014)

@article{h36m_pami,
  author = {Ionescu, Catalin and Papava, Dragos and Olaru, Vlad and Sminchisescu,  Cristian},
  title = {Human3.6M: Large Scale Datasets and Predictive Methods for 3D Human Sensing in Natural Environments},
  journal = {IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence},
  publisher = {IEEE Computer Society},
  volume = {36},
  number = {7},
  pages = {1325-1339},
  month = {jul},
  year = {2014}
}

For Human3.6M, we use the MoShed data provided in HMR for training. However, due to license limitations, we are not allowed to redistribute the MoShed data.

For the evaluation on Human3.6M dataset, please follow the preprocess procedure of SPIN to extract test images from Human3.6M original videos, and make it look like this:

mmpose
├── mmpose
├── docs
├── tests
├── tools
├── configs
`── data
    │── Human3.6M
        ├── images
            ├── S11_Directions_1.54138969_000001.jpg
            ├── S11_Directions_1.54138969_000006.jpg
            ├── S11_Directions_1.54138969_000011.jpg
            ├── ...

The download of Human3.6M dataset is quite difficult, you can also download the zip file of the test images. However, due to the license limitations, we are not allowed to redistribute the images either. So the users need to download the original video and extract the images by themselves.
