@@ComputerVisionEngineer I have only one question, I hope you can answer me please, if I want only the key points without the bounding box around the object, is that possible or each object should have both bbox and keypoints. I have a project where the data is annotated with keypoints without any bounding boxes. I watched your video, you added bbox coordinate for each object. Can I train Yolov8 with keypoints detection without object detection (bounding boxes)?

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

In order to train the keypoint detector you need both; keypoints and also the bounding box. If you only have the keypoints you could calculate an approximated bounding box by using OpenCV to find the bounding box that encloses the keypoints. 🙌

[@hamzawi2752]

@@ComputerVisionEngineer Thank you so much. Yes, I checked that Yolov8 needs both and after a long preprocessing, I managed to do it. I trained it with both bounding boxes and key points and I achieved high mAP. Thank you so much for your answer. By the way, I did not find any KZbinrs who explained the parameters of Yolov8 or the dashboard that appears during the training (e.g., df_loss, pose_loss). If you can explain that in one of your future videos, I would be more appreciated.

Hey. Great video. I really enjoyed watching it. However, the bounding box coordinates in your image labels are now incorrect in your google drive. A quick look and comparing the antelope_10002 label from your video (13:55) to the one in your repo will show the change. I plotted the difference. The original correctly listed center with height and width, in your repo (google drive) all of the bounding boxes are listed as the start/stop corner coordinates. (so upper and lower corner of the box). I'm planning to just script a change and convert the files to the correct format but I spent a day wondering why I couldn't build your basic model so I thought I would save someone else the time.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

I would advice you to use the same keypoints in your different classes. If this is not possible, the keypoints the classes have in common should have the same 'meaning'. Take a look at the video, some animals have antlers and others don't. The keypoints in the antlers of those animals without antlers are annotated with a visibility flag of 0 (which means not labeled). As for all the remaining keyponts, they have the same 'meaning' in all the animals (eyes, ears, legs, etc.). 💪

@@ComputerVisionEngineer Thanks for the reply. Looks like RectLabel is capable but the bbox annotation it is producing along with the keypoints is generated as a box around the keypoints, not an additional one around the object. Not exactly what I want so I'm pondering combining a bbox with the keypoints and then swapping the box through a script. If that tool had decent (aka: ANY) tutorial videos it would be a lot easier to use.

[@darkjudic]

Hi Felipe, how do you think if we use a larger model for pretraining will we have a better result? I.e. yolov8m-pose, yolov8l-pose, yolov8x-pose etc. And another question - it looks like while labeling you didn't use the variant v=1 labeled but not visible - do you think it's not important? Thanks.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Hey Konstantin, using a larger model could produce better results. According to performance metrics on yolov8 website larger models achieve a higher average precision. Do you mean during my custom labeling I didn't use v=1? As far as I know CVAT doesn't support the (x, y, v) format for keypoints annotation. Since I used CVAT as my tool, I only used the (x, y) format. I wouldn't say 'it is not important', if you have visibility information for all keypoints, it's even better. But if you don't, you can still try training the model using the (x, y) format. 💪💪

Ideally, it is better to use the x, y, v format for these situations, If you are using the x, y, v format you can label those keypoints as 0, 0, 0. If you are using the x, y format you could apply different criteria, one of them could be annotating the keypoints where they 'should be located' (in the case of non existing antlers I would locate the keypoints in the head).

I have data having two objects and every object has multiple points, (23,11) I was facing error for having heterogenous number of points. So I made them regular by putting zero padding at end of 2nd object. Now I am having 74, keypoints for each row, 1 id + 4 bounding box + (23*3)=69 points for both object, I have two lines. My yaml looks like this # number of classes nc: 2 names: 0: A 1: B nkpt: 46 kpt_shape: [46, 3] but model starting saying he is looking for 46*3=138 +5 in totla 143 points, so every image is getting corrupted, Plz help me in resolving this.

[@muhammadhammadbashir8989]

my bad, since you have 2 objects and each having 23 points so it will be just replace in yaml nkpt: 23 kpt_shape: [23, 3] and all other strcutre will be same

What a high-quality tutorial, it's going to be very useful for several people. Let me just ask a question, can I follow these steps if there were more than one animal in the image, that is, different instances for the same class in the image? Would I need to modify anything in the annotations?

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Thank you! If there is more than one object in the images you would need to adjust the code in CVAT_to_cocoKeypoints.py. In the txt files with the labels, there should be a line for every object in the image; each line should follow the structure I explain in the video. Other than that everything I explain in this tutorial should work fine! 😃🙌

[@jordaocassiano]

@@ComputerVisionEngineer Great, thanks. By the way, one tip I would add is to use skeleton annotation. In this format, CVAT exports in COCO keypoints (json) format, and then you can use reclabel to convert from COCO json to Yolov8 format.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Oh, amazing! Thank you so much for the heads up! 😃😃😃

@@jordaocassiano if i have the coco keypoints in a json format, how do i use that to make a yolov8 pose estimation model?

[@luuminhquan8255]

can I extract bounding box from yolo v8 pose, tks

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

You can detect the bounding box using the pose detector, yes.

[@ReynierRodriguezSocarras]

Hi, great tutorial like always, you are an inspiration for many people. I wonder if the "bounding box" of the classes could be an ellipse or a polygon, does YOLO can recognize this kind of annotation? In case it can, how should i edit the yaml file, beacuse i notice that in the yaml file there is not configuration for the bounding box, looks like the rectangle is the default.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

At the best of my knowledge, yolov8 object detection only supports rectangular shapes. You may find other technologies to do polygon detection. Alternatively, you could do semantic segmentation with yolov8, by doing so you will detect objects by producing a mask with an arbitrary shape. 🙌

[@owenviolet-s5c]

Hi, I want to know if I can use the keypoint to tracking an object.Thanks!

[@owenviolet-s5c]

I have detected an object through the keypoints ,if I can tracking the object still using the keypoints rather than other infomation like the coordinates of bbox.

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Object tracking algorithms I am aware of take the bounding box. Nevertheless, there is some research around object tracking using keypoints. If you prefer using keypoints take a look at some papers on this topic. 💪

[@leomatero2524]

@@owenviolet-s5c im trying to use the keypoints on an object to localize it, the idea is to acquire the grasping point (center of the first two keypoints, the first keypoint is used to calculate the rotation) of the object using yolo. I have tried v8 and it works pretty well to detect bboxes and the kpts inside each bbox. For calculating the coordinate of the grasping point (i assume) for your object, you need to write another simple code to calculate the center of the frame based on detected kpts. The model can predict the kpts in a specific order as you labelled them, as in this video, the order of keypoints matters. Good luck!

Для тех у кого ошибка "np.numpy array expected" и "images corrupted": Все аннотации должны быть в формате numpy по типу 0.000000, а не 0.0000000000000. Я исправил это добавив в скрипт "convert to coco" из видео следующее: format(value_here, '.6f'), для всех значений где они записываются в файл. Так что получившийся файл будет со всеми значениями в верном формате по типу 0.161122, 0.112343 вместо 0.23433111111112, и т.д. --------------------- For those who have the error "np.numpy array expected" and "images corrupted": All annotations must be in numpy format like 0.000000, not 0.0000000000000. I fixed this by adding the following to the "convert to coco" script from the video: format(value_here, '.6f'), for all values where they are written to the file. So the resulting file will have all the values in the correct format like 0.161122, 0.112343 instead of 0.23433111111112, etc.
