PoseTrack

Introduced by Mykhaylo Andriluka et al. in PoseTrack: A Benchmark for Human Pose Estimation and Tracking1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The PoseTrack dataset is a large-scale benchmark for multi-person pose estimation and tracking in videos. It requires not only pose estimation in single frames, but also temporal tracking across frames. It contains 514 videos including 66,374 frames in total, split into 300, 50 and 208 videos for training, validation and test set respectively. For training videos, 30 frames from the center are annotated. For validation and test videos, besides 30 frames from the center, every fourth frame is also annotated for evaluating long range articulated tracking. The annotations include 15 body keypoints location, a unique person id and a head bounding box for each person instance.

16 shown of 16 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 103. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
