Pose reference credits

Castcut's real-world reference poses (the "real pose" variants of Day / Story poses) are skeletons — joint positions only — from three openly licensed sources: photographs read with DWPose (one credit line each below), the CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database (clips projected through a camera) and the COCO 2017 person keypoint annotations (the labelled joints, never the photos). No photo is shipped with the app. Each photo line names the photo, its creator and its licence; follow the link for the original. Licences kept: CC0, Public Domain Mark, CC BY and CC BY-SA (no NonCommercial or NoDerivatives), and the CMU database's own terms. Where none of them had a pose (piggyback, toast, head on a shoulder), Castcut draws its own (below). Generated by scripts/pose-refs/build.py.

CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database

CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database — free for all uses under its terms; credit requested: "The data used in this project was obtained from mocap.cs.cmu.edu. The database was created with funding from NSF EIA-0196217."

References (pose variant: subject and trial, frame, camera view). The database has no two-person sparring, so the sparring pairs (fight) are two solo boxing captures, each at a guard-up moment, set facing each other at sparring distance:

COCO 2017 person keypoint annotations

COCO Consortium, annotations under CC BY 4.0 (terms of use). Only the annotated joints are used — the photographs themselves are neither used nor shipped.

References (pose variant: image and annotation ids):

Castcut, hand-drawn

Two-person poses no photo, clip or annotation passed the checks for, posed by hand as 3D figures with the app's figure proportions and seen through the mocap camera (scripts/pose-refs/drawn.py); part of Castcut, under its MIT licence. A draft (its sanity render did not read as the pose) is listed in the pose editor's real poses but skipped by Try another.
