We introduce a unique RGB-Thermal Nearly Paired and Annotated 2D Pose Dataset, comprising over 2,400 high-quality LWIR (thermal) images. Each image is meticulously annotated with 2D human poses, offering a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners. This dataset, captured from seven actors performing diverse everyday activities like sitting, eating, and walking, facilitates pose estimation on occlusion and other challenging scenarios. We benchmark state-of-the-art pose estimation methods on the dataset to showcase its potential, establishing a strong baseline for future research. Our results demonstrate the dataset's effectiveness in promoting advancements in pose estimation for various applications, including surveillance, healthcare, and sports analytics.
