MPII (MPII Human Pose)

Introduced by Mykhaylo Andriluka et al. in 2D Human Pose Estimation: New Benchmark and State of the Art Analysis1 Jan 2014 archive 2025-07-28

The MPII Human Pose Dataset for single person pose estimation is composed of about 25K images of which 15K are training samples, 3K are validation samples and 7K are testing samples (which labels are withheld by the authors). The images are taken from YouTube videos covering 410 different human activities and the poses are manually annotated with up to 16 body joints.

14 shown of 14 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 495. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
