Sapiens2
Sapiens2 is a family of high-resolution vision transformers pretrained on 1 billion human images — designed for human-centric tasks such as pose estimation, body-part segmentation, surface normals, pointmaps, and human matting.
This is the index repository: each variant lives in its own model repo (linked below).
