+ # EdgeCrafter (ECPose)
13
+
14
+ EdgeCrafter is a unified compact Vision Transformer (ViT) framework designed for edge dense prediction tasks like object detection, instance segmentation, and pose estimation. This specific checkpoint is for **ECPose**, a variant specialized for high-performance human pose estimation on resource-constrained devices.

+ ## Model Description
21
+ Deploying high-performance dense prediction models on edge devices is challenging due to strict limits on computation and memory. EdgeCrafter addresses this gap using task-specific representation learning and a distilled compact backbone.
22
+
23
+ For pose estimation, the **ECPose-X** variant reaches **74.8 AP** on the COCO dataset, significantly outperforming YOLO-based architectures (e.g., YOLOv8-Pose-X at 71.6 AP) while maintaining an efficiency profile suitable for edge deployment.

+ ## Usage
26
+ This model has been pushed to the Hub using the [PytorchModelHubMixin](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/package_reference/mixins#huggingface_hub.PyTorchModelHubMixin) integration.
27
+
28
+ For inference examples and detailed setup, please refer to the official [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Intellindust-AI-Lab/EdgeCrafter). A CLI inference example is provided below:
29
+
30
+ ```bash
31
+ # Refer to GitHub for installation and config requirements
32
+ cd ecpose
33
+ python tools/inference/torch_inf.py -c configs/ecpose/ecpose_s_coco.yml -r ecpose_s.pth -i path/to/your/image.jpg
