Anipose

What Anipose is
Anipose is free software for tracking bodies, faces, and hands. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and includes cleanup tools for working with tracking results. Processing is not real time, so it suits workflows that can use results after capture rather than live output. Users can export tracking data in CSV or H5 formats and video in AVI format. The software does not include character retargeting, making that capability outside its listed feature set. Its core workflow centers on obtaining body, face, or hand tracking information, cleaning the resulting data, and saving it in supported formats. Anipose has a free plan, with no paid price listed. The provided documentation website is the stated starting point for the software. Support for three desktop operating systems gives users flexibility when choosing where to run tracking and cleanup tasks.
Who it suits
Anipose suits users who need free body, face, or hand tracking on Windows, macOS, or Linux. It is intended for non-real-time workflows that can export CSV, H5, or AVI results.
