Just two years ago my laptop struggled to run posture detection even with an NVIDIA. Now this runs smoothly in my mobile browser, the progress is certainly quick.

This is black magic to me. How does software recognize a human shape and its skeleton from a picture? What crazy algorithms can do this?

This is using a fully-convolutional neural network.
