Dataset Card for OpenThermalPose and OpenThermalPose2

Summary

This repository contains two open-source annotated thermal human pose datasets, OpenThermalPose and its extension OpenThermalPose2, along with pre-trained YOLOv8-pose and YOLOv11-pose models. OpenThermalPose provides 6,090 images of 31 subjects and 14,315 annotated human instances, while OpenThermalPose2 significantly expands this with 11,391 images of 170 subjects and 21,125 annotated instances. Annotations include bounding boxes and 17 keypoints, consistent with the MS COCO Keypoint dataset. The datasets depict various activities including fitness exercises, multiple-person interactions, outdoor walking, and indoor sitting, under diverse weather and lighting conditions. Pre-trained models are provided for YOLOv8-pose and YOLOv11-pose (nano, small, medium, large, and x-large versions).
