Getting Output in json format

[leetcodevis13]

Hi authors,
Thank you for sharing your remarkable code base. I was trying to output pose keypoints in json formats (similar to openpose outputs). But I am finding hard to extract it. Can you guide me in getting the json file (say during visualization for every frame )?

Hi! I could write a utility for that.
First, however, I would like to know why you want to use JSON files?
They are larger, require more disk I/O operations, and require specialized reading and handling.

Thank for reaching back to me and sorry for the delayed response! I wanted to use the facilities in this library like interpolation and augmentation and save it. I am not specifically looking for a json output file (I mentioned json since that was the output format for openpose), just an output file which i can transfer to do an offline task with blender.

If you would like to save your pose as a file, you can do:

with open("example.pose", "wb") as f:
  pose.write(f)

And then in Blender, with python, you can open it using

from pose_format import Pose

with open("example.pose", "rb") as f:
    p = Pose.read(f.read())

Is your blender loading expecting only an OpenPose format and can't use this format?
Our binary format is smaller, faster, and stores the same information (if not more information)

If it does, then maybe it is a good use case and I'll help with a utility

@AmitMY

Yes, in short, many jobs support openpose output (json format key), and we must obtain json when using these jobs. Your work only provides json-to-.pose, not the reverse process.

@leetcodevis13

Did you find a way to convert a large number of .pose files in a folder to json in bulk? I hope you can share the code.

@AmitMY @J22Melody

Can you provide the openpose output of the Signsuisse Lexicon dataset on the WMT-SLT website, with the original output file of json key points? If you know anyone who has one, you can help me @HIM. This does not affect those who use the ".Pose format" and appeals to people like me who need it.

Want the original openpose output of the data in the picture, which includes sign language in three languages, so that you don't have to bother to write code, put this issue is ok, which will definitely increase the appeal of the repo.
