The architecture has been re-implemented in pure PyTorch under acaua.adapters.rtmpose — no mmcv, no mmengine, no mmpose, no trust_remote_code. The weights in this mirror are converted from the upstream .pth checkpoint to safetensors with the acaua adapter's state_dict key naming, and load cleanly via load_state_dict(strict=True) into our nn.Module tree.

RTMPose is a top-down model: it consumes a person bounding box and predicts COCO 17-keypoint pose. The acaua adapter bundles CondadosAI/rtmdet_t_coco as the person detector, giving you a single-call predict(image) API that returns boxes + keypoints together.

Usage

python

import acaua
import supervision as sv

model = acaua.Model.from_pretrained("CondadosAI/rtmpose_t_coco")
result = model.predict("photo.jpg")

# `result` is a PoseResult: boxes (from RTMDet), keypoints (from RTMPose).
kp = result.to_supervision()  # supervision.KeyPoints
sv.EdgeAnnotator(edges=model.skeleton).annotate(scene, kp)
