ViTAE-Transformer/ViTPose

• highreadme#1

  Explicitly link ViTPose++'s self-supervised learning to generic pose estimation in the README's introduction.

  Why:

  CURRENT

  This branch contains the pytorch implementation of ViTPose: Simple Vision Transformer Baselines for Human Pose Estimation and ViTPose++: Vision Transformer for Generic Body Pose Estimation. It obtains 81.1 AP on MS COCO Keypoint test-dev set.

  This repository provides the official PyTorch implementation for ViTPose and ViTPose++, pioneering Vision Transformer baselines for both human and generic body pose estimation. ViTPose++ notably advances generic body pose estimation by leveraging self-supervised learning techniques, including Masked Autoencoders (MAE), to achieve state-of-the-art results like 81.1 AP on MS COCO Keypoint test-dev.

  ## Comparison with Alternatives
  
  ViTPose and ViTPose++ distinguish themselves from traditional CNN-based pose estimation methods by employing a pure Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture as the backbone. This approach offers superior scalability and generalization capabilities, particularly when combined with self-supervised pre-training, setting a new standard for generic body pose estimation.
