Windows Portable Demo

This installation section is only intended if you plan to modify the OpenPose code or integrate it with another library or project. If you just want to use the OpenPose demo in Windows, simply use the latest version of the OpenPose binaries which you can find in the Releases section.

Operating Systems

  • Ubuntu 14 and 16.
  • Windows 8 and 10.
  • Nvidia Jetson TX2, installation instructions in doc/installation_jetson_tx2.md.
  • OpenPose has also been used on Windows 7, Mac, CentOS, and Nvidia Jetson (TK1 and TX1) embedded systems. However, we do not officially support them at the moment.

Requirements

  • NVIDIA graphics card with at least 1.6 GB available (the nvidia-smi command checks the available GPU memory in Ubuntu).
  • At least 2 GB of free RAM memory.
  • Highly recommended: cuDNN and a CPU with at least 8 cores.

Note: These requirements assume the default configuration (i.e. --net_resolution "656x368" and scale_number 1). You might need more (with a greater net resolution and/or number of scales) or less resources (with smaller net resolution and/or using the MPI and MPI_4 models).

Clone OpenPose

The first step is to clone the OpenPose repository.

  1. Windows: You might use GitHub Desktop.
  2. Ubuntu:
git clone https://github.com/ArashHosseini/openpose/blob/master/doc/installation.md

Update OpenPose

OpenPose can be easily updated by:

  1. Download the latest changes:
    1. Windows: Clicking the synchronization button at the top-right part in GitHub Desktop in Windows.
    2. Ubuntu: running git pull origin master.
  2. Perform the Reinstallation section described below.

Installation

The instructions in this section describe the steps to build OpenPose using CMake (GUI). There are 3 main steps:

  1. Prerequisites
  2. OpenPose Configuration
  3. OpenPose Building
  4. OpenPose from other Projects (Ubuntu Only)
  5. Run OpenPose

Prerequisites

  1. Download and install CMake GUI:
    • Ubuntu: run the command sudo apt-get install cmake-qt-gui. Note: If you prefer to use CMake through the command line, see Cmake Command Line Build.
    • Windows: download and install the latest CMake win64-x64 msi installer from the CMake website, called cmake-X.X.X-win64-x64.msi.
  2. CUDA 8:
    • Ubuntu: Run ubuntu/install_cuda.sh or alternatively download and install it from their website.
    • Windows: Install CUDA 8.0 after Visual Studio 2015 is installed to assure that the CUDA installation will generate all necessary files for VS. If CUDA was already installed, re-install CUDA after installing VS!
  3. cuDNN 5.1:
    • Ubuntu: Run ubuntu/install_cudnn.sh or alternatively download and install it from their website.
    • Windows (and Ubuntu if manual installation): In order to manually install it, just unzip it and copy (merge) the contents on the CUDA folder, usually /usr/local/cuda/ in Ubuntu and C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0 in Windows.
  4. Ubuntu - Other prerequisites:
    • Caffe prerequisites: By default, OpenPose uses Caffe under the hood. If you have not used Caffe previously, install its dependencies by running bash ./ubuntu/install_cmake.sh.
    • OpenCV must be already installed on your machine. It can be installed with apt-get install libopencv-dev. You can also use your own compiled OpenCV version.
  5. Windows - Microsoft Visual Studio (VS) 2015 Enterprise Update 3:
    • If Visual Studio 2017 Community is desired, we do not officially support it, but it might be compiled by firstly enabling CUDA 8.0 in VS2017 or use VS2017 with CUDA 9 by checking the .vcxproj file and changing the necessary paths from CUDA 8 to 9.
    • VS 2015 Enterprise Update 1 will give some compiler errors and VS 2015 Community has not been tested.

OpenPose Configuration

  1. Open CMake GUI and select the OpenPose directory as project source directory, and a non-existing or empty sub-directory (e.g., build) where the Makefile files (Ubuntu) or Visual Studio solution (Windows) will be generated. If build does not exist, it will ask you whether to create it. Press Yes.

  1. Press the Configure button, keep the generator in Unix Makefile (Ubuntu) or set it to Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64 (Windows), and press Finish.

  1. If this step is successful, the Configuring done text will appear in the bottom box in the last line. Otherwise, some red text will appear in that same bottom box.

  1. Press the Generate button and proceed to OpenPose Building. You can now close CMake.

Note: If you prefer to use your own custom Caffe or OpenCV versions, see Custom Caffe or Custom OpenCV respectively.

OpenPose Building

Ubuntu

Finally, build the project by running the following commands.

cd build/
make -j`nproc`

Windows

In order to build the project, open the Visual Studio solution (Windows), called build/OpenPose.sln. Then, set the configuration from Debug to Release and press the green triangle icon (alternatively press F5).

OpenPose from other Projects (Ubuntu Only)

If you only intend to use the OpenPose demo, you might skip this step. This step is only recommended if you plan to use the OpenPose API from other projects.

To install the OpenPose headers and libraries into the system environment path (e.g. /usr/local/ or /usr/), run the following command.

cd build/
sudo make install

Once the installation is completed, you can use OpenPose in your other project using the find_package cmake command. Below, is a small example CMakeLists.txt. In order to use this script, you also need to copy FindGFlags.cmake and FindGlog.cmake into your <project_root_directory>/cmake/Modules/ (create the directory if necessary).

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.7)

add_definitions(-std=c++11)

list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/Modules")

find_package(GFlags)
find_package(Glog)
find_package(OpenCV)
find_package(OpenPose REQUIRED)

include_directories(${OpenPose_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${GFLAGS_INCLUDE_DIR} ${GLOG_INCLUDE_DIR} ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})

add_executable(example.bin example.cpp)

target_link_libraries(example.bin ${OpenPose_LIBS} ${GFLAGS_LIBRARY} ${GLOG_LIBRARY} ${OpenCV_LIBS})

If Caffe was built with OpenPose, it will automatically find it. Otherwise, you will need to link Caffe again as shown below (otherwise, you might get an error like /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcaffe).

link_directories(<path_to_caffe_installation>/caffe/build/install/lib)

Run OpenPose

Check OpenPose was properly installed by running it on the default images, video, or webcam: doc/quick_start.md#quick-start.

Reinstallation

In order to re-install OpenPose:

  1. (Ubuntu only) If you ran sudo make install, then run sudo make uninstall in build/.
  2. Delete the build/ folder.
  3. In CMake GUI, click on File --> Delete Cache.
  4. Follow the Installation steps again.

Uninstallation

In order to uninstall OpenPose:

  1. (Ubuntu only) If you ran sudo make install, then run sudo make uninstall in build/.
  2. Remove the OpenPose folder.

Optional Settings

MPI Model

By default, the body MPI model is not downloaded. You can download it by turning on the DOWNLOAD_MPI_MODEL. It's slightly faster but less accurate and has less keypoints than the COCO body model.

OpenPose 3D Reconstruction Module and Demo

You can include the 3D reconstruction module by:

  1. Install the FLIR camera software, Spinnaker SDK. It is a propietary software, so we cannot provide direct download link. Note: You might skip this step if you intend to use the 3-D OpenPose module with a different camera brand.
    1. Ubuntu: Get and install the latest Spinnaker SKD version in their default path. OpenPose will automatically find it. Otherwise, set the right path with CMake.
    2. Windows: Donwload the latest Spinnaker SKD version from https://www.ptgrey.com/support/downloads.
      • Copy {PointGreyParentDirectory}\Point Grey Research\Spinnaker\bin64\vs2015\ as {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\spinnaker\bin\. You can remove all the *.exe files.
      • Copy {PointGreyParentDirectory}\Point Grey Research\Spinnaker\include\ as {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\spinnaker\include\.
      • Copy Spinnaker_v140.lib and Spinnakerd_v140.lib from {PointGreyParentDirectory}\Point Grey Research\Spinnaker\lib64\vs2015\ into {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\spinnaker\lib\.
      • (Optional) Spinnaker SDK overview: https://www.ptgrey.com/spinnaker-sdk.
  2. Install the 3D visualizer, FreeGLUT:
    1. Ubuntu: run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev and reboot your PC.
    2. Windows:
      1. It is automatically downloaded by the CMake installer.
      2. Alternatively, if you prefer to download it yourself, you could either:
        1. Double click on 3rdparty\windows\getFreeglut.bat.
        2. Download this version from our server and unzip it in {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\freeglut\.
        3. Download the latest MSVC Package from http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/freeglut-devel/.
          • Copy {freeglutParentDirectory}\freeglut\bin\x64\ as {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\freeglut\bin\.
          • Copy {freeglutParentDirectory}\freeglut\include\ as {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\freeglut\include\.
          • Copy {freeglutParentDirectory}\freeglut\lib\x64\ as {OpenPoseDirectory}\3rdparty\windows\freeglut\lib\.
  3. Follow the CMake installation steps. In addition, set the WITH_FLIR_CAMERA (only if Spinnaker was installed) and WITH_3D_RENDERER options.
  4. In Windows, after openning the OpenPose visual studio solution:
    1. Right-click on Solution 'OpenPose' of the Solution Explorer window, usually placed at the top-right part of the VS screen.
    2. Click on Properties. Go to Configuration Properties -> Configuration and check Build for the OpenPose3DReconstruction project.

After installation, check the doc/3d_reconstruction_demo.md instructions.

Compiling without cuDNN

The cuDNN library is not mandatory, but required for full keypoint detection accuracy. In case your graphics card is not compatible with cuDNN, you can disable it by unchecking USE_CUDNN in CMake.

Then, you would have to reduce the --net_resolution flag to fit the model into the GPU memory. You can try values like 640x320, 320x240, 320x160, or 160x80 to see your GPU memory capabilities. After finding the maximum approximate resolution that your GPU can handle without throwing an out-of-memory error, adjust the net_resolution ratio to your image or video to be processed (see the --net_resolution explanation from doc/demo_overview.md), or use -1 (e.g. --net_resolution -1x320).

Custom Caffe (Ubuntu Only)

We only modified some Caffe compilation flags and minor details. You can use your own Caffe distribution, simply specify the Caffe include path and the library as shown below. You will also need to turn off the BUILD_CAFFE variable. Note that cuDNN is required in order to get the maximum possible accuracy in OpenPose.

Custom OpenCV (Ubuntu Only)

If you have built OpenCV from source and OpenPose cannot find it automatically, you can set the OPENCV_DIR variable to the directory where you build OpenCV.

Doxygen Documentation Autogeneration (Ubuntu Only)

You can generate the documentation by setting the BUILD_DOCS flag. The documentation will be generated in doc/doxygen/html/index.html. You can simply open it with double-click (your default browser should automatically display it).

CMake Command Line Configuration (Ubuntu Only)

Note that this step is unnecessary if you already used the CMake GUI alternative.

Create a build folder in the root OpenPose folder, where you will build the library --

cd openpose
mkdir build
cd build

The next step is to generate the Makefiles. Now there can be multiple scenarios based on what the user already has e.x. Caffe might be already installed and the user might be interested in building OpenPose against that version of Caffe instead of requiring OpenPose to build Caffe from scratch.

SCENARIO 1 -- Caffe not installed and OpenCV installed using apt-get

In the build directory, run the below command --

cmake ..
SCENARIO 2 -- Caffe installed and OpenCV build from source

In this example, we assume that Caffe and OpenCV are already present. The user needs to supply the paths of the libraries and the include directories to CMake. For OpenCV, specify the include directories and the libraries directory using OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS and OpenCV_LIBS_DIR variables respectively. Alternatively, the user can also specify the path to the OpenCVConfig.cmake file by setting the OpenCV_CONFIG_FILE variable. For Caffe, specify the include directory and library using the Caffe_INCLUDE_DIRS and Caffe_LIBS variables. This will be where you installed Caffe. Below is an example of the same.

cmake -DOpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/opencv/build/install/include \
  -DOpenCV_LIBS_DIR=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/opencv/build/install/lib \
  -DCaffe_INCLUDE_DIRS=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/caffe/build/install/include \
  -DCaffe_LIBS=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/caffe/build/install/lib/libcaffe.so -DBUILD_CAFFE=OFF ..
cmake -DOpenCV_CONFIG_FILE=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/opencv/build/install/share/OpenCV/OpenCVConfig.cmake \
  -DCaffe_INCLUDE_DIRS=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/caffe/build/install/include \
  -DCaffe_LIBS=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/caffe/build/install/lib/libcaffe.so -DBUILD_CAFFE=OFF ..
SCENARIO 3 -- OpenCV already installed

If Caffe is not already present but OpenCV is, then use the below command.

cmake -DOpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/opencv/build/install/include \
  -DOpenCV_LIBS_DIR=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/opencv/build/install/lib ..
cmake -DOpenCV_CONFIG_FILE=/home/"${USER}"/softwares/opencv/build/install/share/OpenCV/OpenCVConfig.cmake ..
