COCO-WholeBody keypoints: all 133 indices

133 keypoints · from MMPose coco_wholebody.py dataset meta info (branch main) · read 2026-10-17

COCO-WholeBody 133 has 133 keypoints, numbered from 0 nose to 132 right_pinky_finger4, as keypoint_info in MMPose's configs/_base_/datasets/coco_wholebody.py defines them. The sources tie it to RTMPose WholeBody 2d models (MMPose: RTMPose, RTMW and DWPose-distilled checkpoints). 23 of the 133 names match a point in another scheme once lowercased with separators removed; the other 110 stay unmapped.

Models that output it

RTMPose WholeBody 2d models (MMPose: RTMPose, RTMW and DWPose-distilled checkpoints) · RTMPose models (MMPose)Evidence: RTMPose README says “WholeBody 2d (133 Keypoints): Keypoints are defined as COCO-WholeBody. For details please refer to the meta info.” (source).

All 133 keypoints

Names are copied exactly from keypoint_info in MMPose's configs/_base_/datasets/coco_wholebody.py. The index is the position the source assigns. The last column says whether another scheme on this site spells the same name, by the crosswalk rule.

How this list was checked

MMPose keypoint_info ids run 0 to N-1
its first 17 names are identical to MMPose's COCO 17, in the same order
23 of 133 names are shared with another scheme; the rest are listed as unmapped.

MMPose’s meta info cites the dataset as “Whole-Body Human Pose Estimation in the Wild” (2020) with the homepage github.com/jin-s13/COCO-WholeBody/.

Questions

How are the 133 COCO-WholeBody keypoints ordered?

MMPose's coco_wholebody.py numbers them 0 to 132. Indices 0 to 16 use COCO 17's names (nose to right_ankle); 17 to 22 are left_big_toe, left_small_toe, left_heel, right_big_toe, right_small_toe and right_heel; 23 to 90 are face-0 to face-67; and 91 to 132 run from left_hand_root to right_pinky_finger4. The table on this page lists all 133.

Which pose models output COCO-WholeBody keypoints?

RTMPose WholeBody 2d models (MMPose: RTMPose, RTMW and DWPose-distilled checkpoints): RTMPose README says “WholeBody 2d (133 Keypoints): Keypoints are defined as COCO-WholeBody. For details please refer to the meta info.” Only models a fetched source ties to this scheme are listed.

How do COCO-WholeBody keypoints map to other pose keypoint schemes?

By name only. 23 of the 133 share an identical name, once lowercased with separators removed, with a point in BlazePose 33, ML Kit 33, COCO 17, Halpe26, OpenPose BODY_25, OpenPose COCO 18, Apple Vision 2D and Apple Vision 3D; the other 110, from 23 face-0 to 132 right_pinky_finger4, stay unmapped. A shared row means the names match, not that two models place the point in the same spot.
