Support for RTMPose with 26 Keypoints on Hailo (.hef Conversion)

[simonetortorella]

Hi, I was wondering if you have any plans to integrate RTMPose — specifically the version with 26 keypoints (e.g. Halpe 26) — into the Hailo executable (.hef) file architecture.

Currently, converting the ONNX model to a .hef fails due to some unsupported operators that are incompatible with Hailo’s architecture. However, a re-adaptation or optimization of the model to make it compatible would be highly valuable for real-time pose estimation applications involving full-body keypoints, including feet and hands.

Is this something you're considering for future releases, or is there a recommended approach to adapt RTMPose for Hailo?

Thanks!
