How to setup a Pose Tracking Project?

Step 1: Setup Annotation Specification

  • Create a project withVideobase-type and go to the Annotation specification section of the project.

  • Add the class(es) to define the objects that you want to annotate and select the annotation type as a landmark.

  • You can use the min and max points option to set a range for the number of points required to define the pose of the object. Each number in the range will define a part of the object. For example, to estimate human pose, we can define the range from 1 (min) to 17 (max) : Head – 1, Neck – 2, Right Shoulder – 3, Right Elbow – 4, Right Wrist – 5,

    Left Shoulder – 6, Left Elbow – 7, Left Wrist – 8, Right Hip – 9,

    Right Knee – 10, Right Ankle – 11, Left Hip – 12, Left Knee – 13,

    Left Ankle – 14

  • In GT create, the annotators can assign the points to the defined body part.

Step 2: Create a Workflow

  • Go to the Workflow tab and click on create a workflow.

  • You'll now see common template workflows and their use case. You can choose from any of the available templates.

  • Enable Attachment Validation. When you upload media in a project, it gets stored in a private bucket, Attachment Validator then creates a signed URL for the uploaded data, so that the GT-studio securely access the media. If you don't want Playment to access your data and only want to restrict access to your own annotators and team members, you can opt for the hybrid cloud approach.

Step 3: Upload Sequences and Create Annotation Jobs

  1. Go to the Workflow tab and click on Add new batch, provide the name and description for the new batch.

  2. Click on Upload data using .zip file, follow the instructions displayed to create a zip file.

  3. Once the data is uploaded, click on Create Jobs to send jobs to the workflow created in the previous step.

Note: You can also use Playment APIs to create jobs. For more details, refer: Playment API reference

Step 4: Annotate objects in GT Create

  • Start annotating by selecting the landmark tool in GT Create.

  • You can select the correct Number for the body part as defined in the mapping above by pressing the ⬆️ / ⬇️ key to mark
