OpenMonkeyChallenge is a computer vision benchmark challenge for Non-Human Primate (NHP) pose tracking. It is an open and ongoing competition based on our provided dataset. Our dataset consists of over 100,000 annotated (17 body landmarks) photographs of NHPs in naturalistic contexts obtained from various sources including the internet, National Primate Centers, and the Minnesota Zoo. Our dataset includes diverse species of monkeys and apes. The 17 landmarks together comprise a pose.
