# OpenPose: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## Human pose estimation


OpenPose is a machine learning model that estimates body and hand pose in an image and returns location and confidence for each of 19 joints.

This model is an implementation of OpenPose found [here](https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose).


More details on model performance accross various devices, can be found [here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/openpose).
