1. Keypoint Evaluation

This page describes the keypoint evaluation metrics used by COCO. The evaluation code provided here can be used to obtain results on the publicly available COCO validation set. It computes multiple metrics described below. To obtain results on the COCO test set, for which ground-truth annotations are hidden, generated results must be uploaded to the evaluation server. The exact same evaluation code, described below, is used to evaluate results on the test set.

1.1. Evaluation Overview

The COCO keypoint task requires simultaneously detecting objects and localizing their keypoints (object locations are not given at test time). As the task of simultaneous detection and keypoint estimation is relatively new, we chose to adopt a novel metric inspir
