Body tracking with Yolo

DusX

The short answer is yes, there is something coming that will be released. It has been held up due to testing. Trying to make the installation manageable for novice users isn't a trivial endeavor due to the GPU specific features used.

I will see if I can get an idea of what timeline we are looking at, and report back.

@dusx I I've been using this for a while , using TD to send osc to izzy, probably a really unproductive and process intensive but it seems to work ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx4Ellaj6kk

if there was some way of doing this in izzy that would be amazing !

I is pretty easy to use MediaPipe with Pythoner. Which feature of MediaPipe do you use most... face, pose etc?
I can make an example file for this pretty quick. (YOLO runs faster [when GPU enhanced] and has better Pose tracking, that is why YOLO tracking has been worked on :)

@dusx wow , that would awesome 🙌.
For me the things I find most impressive is the fact it’s runs locally without a need to install python and the ability to select or switch the models on and off 🤯 .
I’d love to keep my workflow in Izzy so any help in this would be amazing 🙏.

Well, this code will require some configuration of Pythoner.

By default Pythoner offers the full standard library included with Python, however, this doesn't include everything we need for this script.
So, a new Virtual Environment will need to be created, and then MediaPipe, OpenCV, and Numpy will need to be installed.
The module names for install are:

opencv-python
mediapipe
numpy

This is worth knowing, because the names for installation don't always match the names used for import into the python code. eg: opencv-python uses, import cv2, in the python code.
You can find available modules at: https://pypi.org/

If you haven't I recommend watching: Getting Started With Pythoner to get an understanding of how the configuration is handled. It really should only take 3-4 minutes to create the environment and install the modules needed, once you know how it works.

I will create a quick and dirty video tutorial to walk thru this for this specific script/project. ASAP

1000 thanks

@dusx thank you

@n-jones Have you guys seen movenet. Apparently is superfast !!!!

I have posted a 'rough cut' of a tutorial video on setting up Pythoner to work with MediaPipe to my personal YouTube channel.

Please let me know if you find any issues, or feedback regarding clarity etc.. I will do a round of updates to the video before making it available officially on the Troikatronix YT channel.

Attached here is an Example file (used in the video, but now updated).
Again, if you have suggestions to improve this let me know (it is meant as a starting point).

NOTE: Pythoner has the ability to use 3 different configurations for which python environment is used.
I will make a video to walk thru these and their pros and cons soon.
In this video, I focus on the global virtual environment setup Isadora supports.
The other options are a Local (to the project root) Virtual Environment, and the default environment included in the Pythoner actor (the most portable option, but limit in features).

@dusx Wow Ryan Bravo !!!!!! Fantastic !!!!!

@dusx

I have so much to do until the end of the month that I can't try. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your fantastic work

Best regards,

@dusx

@dusx thanks so much for this The video makes it so much easier for me to understand now .

Definitely going to build it in the next project.

Pretty good for a rough cut by the way

Thank you !!

I just found a tool I think you'll love that was given me by the author. Colin Clark, an incredible person, a composer and software developer (and much more !) based in Toronto. He created a software called Movement OSC, (mac PC and linux) that does pose estimation and sends osc. It can also compare Movenet and MediaPipe so you can compare them ! The software formats the osc messages 4 ways Bundeled messages per axis, messages per axis, and bundled xyz array. I use just the latter then parse it in the Json parser

Here are the keypoints and the keypoints diagram

Enjoy !

A thousand thanks. It works fantastic. Do you have an idea how to change the standard port and the format ? By every start it go back to 7500 and bundled Message per Axis and I cannot found how to change it.

Again a thousand thanks for this found.

Best regards,

Jean-François

@gibsonmartelli Hello Bruno and ruth !!!!

@jfg

Here is a test. In fact the software is even more interesting than what I see, apparently. It is a framework for testing different models that can live parallel lifestyles and be alternated and studied. Please enable from the menu the developer panel Astonishing.

movement-osc-test.izz

@armando

I have also made a test and more: I put it in a patch for an installation and it works very well. But for an installation there is two limitation:

- the window of movementOSC has to be active on a screen

- I haven't found the way to save the settings or to change the standard setting.

Anyway it is a very interesting software.

Best regards,

Jean-François

Armando

@jfg Yes you are right I also noted that. Give feedback to Colin, but have you seen the developer mode ? I am sure there is the possibility to correct that from within the software.
