Top-down heatmap-based pose estimation

Top-down methods divide the task into two stages: object detection, followed by single-object pose estimation given object bounding boxes Instead of estimating keypoint coordinates directly, the pose estimator will produce heatmaps which represent the likelihood of being a keypoint, following the paradigm introduced in Simple Baselines for Human Pose Estimation and Tracking.
