Thanks for using MMPose. This looks like a numpy issue. To resolve it, you can try reinstalling or upgrading your numpy. For more discussions, please refer to #534.

Hi @liguoxin1990, thanks for your feedback. The cause of this error is an incompatibility between Colab and the platform where xtcocotools was built. To fix it, you have to compile xtcocotools yourself before utilizing it. The easiest method is to use pip install git+https://github.com/jin-s13/xtcocoapi to install it from source.

@Ben-Louis Thanks . The Issue is solved now. :-)
