A Beginner's Guide to Machine Learning: PoseNet Tutorial

TLDRLearn how to use the PoseNet pre-trained model with the ml5.js library and track your body in real-time in the browser. Understand the input and output of PoseNet and explore the key points on the human body it detects.

Key insights

PoseNet is a pre-trained machine learning model that can track your body in real-time using the ml5.js library.

📷PoseNet takes an image as input and outputs an array of coordinates representing key points on the body.

🎯The XY coordinates represent key points on a pose skeleton, which is an arbitrary set of 17 points from the nose to the ankles.

PoseNet is trained on the COCO dataset, which contains labeled images of people in various poses.

👨‍💻You can use the ml5.js library and the p5.js library to easily implement PoseNet in interactive media projects.
