Abstract: The traditional OpenPose model has good accuracy but slow speed in human posture detection. In order to accelerate the detection speed and reduce the model on condition of the detection precision, based on the traditional OpenPose model, the residual network with second-order term fusion is used to extract the low-level features, the weights of the trained model are pruned by the L1 norm weight, and an improved OpenPose model is proposed. Experiments show that when the detection accuracy is approximately equal to original model, the model size reduces to about 8%, the parameters reduces by nearly 83%, and the detection speed increases by 5 times. The improved OpenPose model is applied to the physical fitness test of sit-ups, and the results show that the detection accuracy of the model can reach 97%.
