Sports2D: Compute 2D human pose and angles from a video or a webcam

Description

New installation procedure, lower-body, filter_IK, ...

N.B.: More information on the Pose2Sim release

New installation procedure:

  • Got rid of anaconda and switched to uv project manager (much faster, smarter, lighter, flexible all around)
  • Use the Pose2Sim uv virtual environment by default to save storage space
  • Support for Python 3.13 and dropped support for Python 3.10

Filtering:

  • New option: filter_IK. Should help for further force estimation
  • New filter: acc_minimizing (Whittaker-Henderson) Reminder of the supported filters: butterworth, acc_minimizing, kalman, one_euro, gcv_spline, gaussian, LOESS, median, butterworth_on_speed

Lower-body mode

Set pose_model = 'lower_body' in Config.toml Or use the CLI: sports2D --video_input webcam --pose_model lower_body

Others

  • --video_input webcam now works
  • The Hugging-face demo now runs marker augmentation and OpenSim inverse kinematics by default
  • The logs are now saved in the Sports2D result directory instead of the current directory
  • The use_augmentation parameter becomes do_augmentation
  • Support for parallel inverse kinematics resolution (one person per worker)
  • Fixed a few bugs along the way (time column had a one-frame error, feet_on_floor was not taken into account...)

Note: there is a temporary issue for MacOS Python 3.12: onnxruntime 1.26.0 does not have a wheel for this configuration. This is likely a miss that will be fixed soon. Reported here.
