Pose estimation is a task that involves identifying the location of specific points in an image, usually referred
|
|
to as keypoints. The keypoints can represent various parts of the object such as joints, landmarks, or other distinctive
|
|
features. The locations of the keypoints are usually represented as a set of 2D `[x, y]` or 3D `[x, y, visible]`
|
|
coordinates.

The output of a pose estimation model is a set of points that represent the keypoints on an object in the image, usually
|
|
along with the confidence scores for each point. Pose estimation is a good choice when you need to identify specific
|
|
parts of an object in a scene, and their location in relation to each other.

YOLOv8 _pose_ models use the `-pose` suffix, i.e. `yolov8n-pose.pt`. These models are trained on the [COCO keypoints](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/datasets/coco-pose.yaml) dataset and are suitable for a variety of pose estimation tasks.

## Train
|
|
|
|
Train a YOLOv8-pose model on the COCO128-pose dataset.
|
|
|
|
!!! example ""
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from ultralytics import YOLO
|
|
|
|
# Load a model
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-pose.yaml') # build a new model from YAML
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-pose.pt') # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-pose.yaml').load('yolov8n-pose.pt') # build from YAML and transfer weights
|
|
|
|
# Train the model
|
|
model.train(data='coco8-pose.yaml', epochs=100, imgsz=640)
|
|
```
|
|
=== "CLI"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build a new model from YAML and start training from scratch
|
|
yolo pose train data=coco8-pose.yaml model=yolov8n-pose.yaml epochs=100 imgsz=640
|
|
|
|
# Start training from a pretrained *.pt model
|
|
yolo pose train data=coco8-pose.yaml model=yolov8n-pose.pt epochs=100 imgsz=640
|
|
|
|
# Build a new model from YAML, transfer pretrained weights to it and start training

### Dataset format
|
|
|
|
YOLO pose dataset format can be found in detail in the [Dataset Guide](../datasets/pose/index.md). To convert your existing dataset from other formats( like COCO etc.) to YOLO format, please use [json2yolo tool](https://github.com/ultralytics/JSON2YOLO) by Ultralytics.

|
|
|
Validate trained YOLOv8n-pose model accuracy on the COCO128-pose dataset. No argument need to passed as the `model`
|
|

# Load a model
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-pose.pt') # load an official model
|
|
model = YOLO('path/to/best.pt') # load a custom trained

|
|
```bash
|
|
yolo export model=yolov8n-pose.pt format=onnx # export official model

|
|

|
|
|
|
Available YOLOv8-pose export formats are in the table below. You can predict or validate directly on exported models,
|
|
i.e. `yolo predict model=yolov8n-pose.onnx`. Usage examples are shown for your model after export completes.
