It is recommended to symlink the dataset root to $MMPOSE/data. If your folder structure is different, you may need to change the corresponding paths in config files.

For COCO-WholeBody datatset, images can be downloaded from COCO download, 2017 Train/Val is needed for COCO keypoints training and validation. Download COCO-WholeBody annotations for COCO-WholeBody annotations for Train / Validation (Google Drive). Download person detection result of COCO val2017 from OneDrive or GoogleDrive. Download and extract them under $MMPOSE/data, and make them look like this:
