What's the meaning of 'scale' in mpii dataset? about pytorch-pose-hg-3d

[xingyizhou]

The upper-left and bottom-right coordinates of bounding box are (center[0] - scale / 2, center[1] - scale / 2), (center[0] + scale / 2, center[1] + scale / 2).

Hi EthanGuan,
Thanks for your interest in this project. The 'scale' in the mpii dataset is provided as an annotation, it is the square-shape human bounding size. It is dependent on the human bounding box size, not just the input image size. But it is safe to just set the scale to 640 and center at (320, 240).

Would you please elaborate on this? How do I get bounding box given center and scale?

I guess by saying 'scale' you mean '200 * scale'. I did try this but I got some absurd annotation...

Yes, it is '200 x scale' based on Newell's hourglass implementation. What's the following question?
