I have installed the OpenPose library for my pose detection project using C++. However, I am encountering difficulties with the installation process, particularly when trying to download models as per the instructions provided on https://sourceforge.net/projects/openpose.mirror/.
These are the instructions they have provided:
1. Double click on `models/getBaseModels.bat` to download the required body, face, and hand models.
- Optional: Double click on `models/getCOCO_and_MPII_optional.bat` to download the COCO and MPII models (slower and less accurate, only download them if you really have a reason to do so).
2. Check all the info in:
- https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/tree/v1.7.0
- https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/v1.7.0/doc/
3. Specially, the C++ quick start guide:
- https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/v1.7.0/doc/quick_start.md
4. For Python, check both the C++ quick start guide (same flags) and the Python testing doc:
- https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/v1.7.0/doc/quick_start.md
- https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/v1.7.0/doc/modules/python_module.md#testing, but replace "cd build/examples/tutorial_api_python" by "cd python/".
- NOTE: The rest of the python_module.md instructions are for the GitHub source code library, you can ignore them here.
- Python code example:
cd {OpenPose_root_path}
cd python/
python openpose_python.py
However, when I attempt to run the models/getBaseModels.bat script from the downloaded folder, it does not download or install anything. Instead, it continuously attempts to download without any success. Here's a snippet of the output I'm seeing in the command prompt:
------------------------- BODY, FOOT, FACE, AND HAND MODELS -------------------------
----- Downloading body pose (COCO and MPI), face and hand models -----
------------------------- POSE (BODY+FOOT) MODELS -------------------------

Due to this issue, I am unable to proceed further with my project. Can you please provide a solution or suggest an alternative approach for pose detection and obtaining key coordinates

Their service is down, but you can download them from the Google drive. You can refer to this GitHub issue https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/issues/2233#issuecomment-1690823950
