Technical Report: Articulated Part-based Model for Joint Object Detection and Pose Estimation

As mentioned the main paper, Percentage of Correct Parts (PCP) is a common performance measure used by researchers on datasets such as Stickmen [1]. Since the PCP for each part is calculated as (#of detected parts)/(#of detected objects), the set of detected objects need to be fix/predefined for this performance measure. For example, on the stickmen dataset, only 360 our of 1283 people are used as the pre-defined set for PCP evaluation. As also pointed out in [3], it is not an ideal way to measure the joint object detection and pose estimation performance.
