PyOpenPose

Python bindings for the awesome Openpose library.

Openpose github page: https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose

notice!! PyOpenPose uses OpenCV 3.2 and protobuf 2.6.1

If you use other operating systems, you have to make sure the versions of opencv and protobuf are correct.

Install OpenCV 3.2 in ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04

you can install dependencies of OpenCV using the following command.

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential cmake pkg-config
sudo apt-get install -y libjpeg8-dev libtiff5-dev libjasper-dev libpng12-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libatlas-base-dev gfortran
sudo apt-get install -y python2.7-dev python3.5-dev

download the source code

cd ~
wget -O opencv.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/3.2.0.zip
wget -O opencv_contrib.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/archive/3.2.0.zip
unzip opencv.zip
unzop opencv_contrib.zip

compile OpenCV without dnn(or error will occur).

cd opencv/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
    -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \
    -D BUILD_opencv_dnn=OFF \
    -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules \
    -D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2.7 \
    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

install opencv

sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

you can also uninstall opencv using sudo make uninstall

Installation of protobuf in ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04

sudo apt install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-lite9v5 protobuf9v5 libprotobuf-c1

Installation of openpose

please refer to openpose github

first you have to compile the internal caffe in openpose and then make distribute

second, you have to compile the openpose and then make distribute

PyOpenPose will use distribute.

Installation of PyOpenPose

download the source of PyOpenPose

git clone https://github.com/FORTH-ModelBasedTracker/PyOpenPose.git
cd PyOpenPose

set the environment of openpose

export OPENPOSE_ROOT=/path/to/openpose

compile PyOpenPose

mkdir build
cd build 
# you have to specify the version of python or cmake will find the wrong version of python
cmake ..  -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python2.7 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so

make all -j $nproc
# test PyOpenPose
cd ..
cd scripts
python OpLoop.py

Add the folder containing PyOpenPose.so to your PYTHONPATH, you can use PyOpenPose in you project now.

Usage

Check the scripts folder for python examples using PyOpenPose.
