Is there any package for human pose estimation written in Julia?

I think it is always better to add a bit of context to a post:

> In [computer vision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision), **articulated body pose estimation** is the task of algorithmically determining the [pose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pose_(computer_vision)) of a body composed of connected parts ([joints](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint) and [rigid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body) parts) from image or video data.
> 
> This challenging problem, central to enabling robots and other systems to understand human actions and interactions, has been a long-standing research area due to the complexity of modeling the relationship between visual observations and pose, as well as the wide range of applications.[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_body_pose_estimation#cite_note-1)[[2]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_body_pose_estimation#cite_note-2)

I don’t know much about this specific problem, but I do know Manifolds.jl has a [hand gesture analysis tutorial](https://juliamanifolds.github.io/Manifolds.jl/stable/tutorials/hand-gestures/) if you want to use techniques from shape analysis to do it.
