It's not just non-commerical, it's for research purposes only!
That is not true, their license allows almost everything other than commercial usage. Quote from their licence: "...To use the Model & Software for the sole purpose of performing non-commercial, scientific research, non-commercial education, or non-commercial artistic projects; Any other use, in particular any use for commercial purposes, is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, incorporation in a commercial…
> their license allows almost everything other than commercial usage
Nope. The license allows precisely three uses: research, education, and non-commercial art. That's it.
In other words, even use in FOSS-compliant plugin's (e.g. for Blender) isn't allowed.

#13Restrictive license. The have a nice comparison to T-HMR, but I did not see a comparison to OpenPose. If that exists somewhere, please give me a pointer. [edit] OK, so I read a little further. Answered my own questions a bit, so here is what I found: VIBE produces 3D pose from 2D video. OpenPose needs stereo video for 3D pose estimation. OpenPose can produce 2D joint position tracking from 2D video. OpenPose 2D annot…
You seem to point out the restrictive license (for non-commercial research purposes only) as if it's a negative, when I don't believe that it is. Why should companies be allowed to profit from a proprietary wrapper around open-source software built on top of decades of open-access research? Open research should stay open.
> You seem to point out the restrictive license (for non-commercial research purposes only) as if it's a negative,
Two word statement of fact: "Restrictive license." From those two words, you create a straw man.
I have said before, here on HN and other places, that people should choose a license the way they choose a screwdriver, not the way they choose a religion. The license must fit the project goal.
I point out the restrictive license in part because it is not one of the usual licenses that often accompanies source releases. A noteworthy oddity. An oddity that will cost money to understand, if need be.
I point out the restrictive license in part to make people aware that they need to investigate before deciding to invest a lot of time evaluating this package. Simply a courtesy.
As you point out, the license may or may not be a problem depending on the use case. I know of several entities that might be interested in taking a commercial license. I know of several entities that would have already stopped reading because the license does not fit their agenda.

Indeed. Or other sports applications. I have a friend that is an elite-level track coach. She has an iPad app that helps analyze running form from video. This tech could be used to improve apps like that.
My own little pet thought experiment for years has been an app that would track violin or 'cello bow motion to provide feedback to students on bowing technique. I am sure there are many similar applications.

occlusion is an impassable barrier in this case it seems. For some motions it can work, but if you can't see some limbs behind the back etc. there is not much that can be done regardless of the estimation
Re: Vibe: Video Human Pose Estimation
#16Are there any similar libraries to this or openpose that have FOSS compatible licenses?

Seems like a good use of the technology but this seems fairly computationally expensive
