2D Animal Keypoint Dataset

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.

Animal-Pose

Animal-Pose (ICCV'2019)

@InProceedings{Cao_2019_ICCV,
    author = {Cao, Jinkun and Tang, Hongyang and Fang, Hao-Shu and Shen, Xiaoyong and Lu, Cewu and Tai, Yu-Wing},
    title = {Cross-Domain Adaptation for Animal Pose Estimation},
    booktitle = {The IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV)},
    month = {October},
    year = {2019}
}

For Animal-Pose dataset, we prepare the dataset as follows:

Download the images of PASCAL VOC2012, especially the five categories (dog, cat, sheep, cow, horse), which we use as trainval dataset.
Download the test-set images with raw annotations (1000 images, 5 categories).
We have pre-processed the annotations to make it compatible with MMPose. Please download the annotation files from annotations. If you would like to generate the annotations by yourself, please check our dataset parsing codes.

Extract them under {MMPose}/data, and make them look like this:

The official dataset does not provide the official train/val/test set split. We choose the images from PascalVOC for train & val. In total, we have 3608 images and 5117 annotations for train+val, where 2798 images with 4000 annotations are used for training, and 810 images with 1117 annotations are used for validation. Those images from other sources (1000 images with 1000 annotations) are used for testing.

ATRW captures images of the Amur tiger (also known as Siberian tiger, Northeast-China tiger) in the wild. For ATRW dataset, please download images from Pose_train, Pose_val, and Pose_test. Note that in the ATRW official annotation files, the key "file_name" is written as "filename". To make it compatible with other coco-type json files, we have modified this key. Please download the modified annotation files from atrw_annotations. Extract them under {MMPose}/data, and make them look like this:
