Why there are joint connections between [left_ear, left_shoulder] and [right_ear, right_shoulder]
As I read the code, I found there are two strange joint pairs in below code, [2, 16] and [5, 17], compare them with the image, it looks like that there are connection between [left_ear, left_shoulder] and [right_ear, right_shoulder]. I'm really confused about this part. May I ask if there is a reason?
joint_pairs = list(zip(
[1, 8, 9, 1, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 5, 1, 0, 0, 14, 15],
[8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 16, 5, 6, 7, 17, 0, 14, 15, 16, 17]))
As far as I know, this connection is part of the original CMU publication as well. Reason might be that it helps the model training. More paf connections might help finding both shoulder keypoints.
