Ever wanted to run dense pose recognition on animals 🐶 but didn't have labels?
Facebook AI Research

Now you can train on animals w/o annotations using teacher-student training and utilize datasets with labeled Humans to generalize to animals.

Facebook AI Research recently released the source code (as a part of detectron2) for our paper and pretrained teacher and student models for Chimps dataset. Huge shout-out to Vasil Khalidov for this release!

We (yes, I'm the first author), introduced the DensePose Evolution framework, which can be used to bootstrap DensePose on unlabeled data with animals.
