How to use AnchorLoss in Pose estimation

[YuQi9797]

thanks for your sharing. Could you tell me how to apply the anchor loss in pose estimation?

My input is heatmap, it's shape : N, C, H, W. and my target also is N, C, H, W.

And, how to apply the anchor loss in pose estimation?

looking forward your reply!

Hi, thanks for your interest! Could you tell me more about the target? You have to design your anchor probability based on your target distribution. Are you using the gaussian heatmap?

Yeah, I'm using a Gaussian heatmap. However, my output channel is NUM_joints +1. One channel is used to output a heatmap of all key points of the target. The loss function I use is MSE.

If I want to use Anchor Loss, I should only feed the input is (N,num_joints, H, W). But I don't know how to apply the code you shared to my project. Could you share the Anchor Loss code for pose estimation?
