Pose Estimation Algorithms: History and Evolution

This article was contributed to the Roboflow blog by Abirami Vina. What is Pose Estimation? Pose estimation, also called keypoint detection, is a computer vision technique that pinpoints the key body joints of a human in images and videos to understand their pose. While pose estimation can also be applied
