Compatibility with Latest CUDA and cuDNN

[Mobina-Zibandepour]

Dear OpenPose Development Team,

I hope you are doing well. First and foremost, thank you for developing and maintaining OpenPose as a powerful and free tool for researchers. It has been instrumental in advancing computer vision-based human motion analysis.

However, I am reaching out because OpenPose is currently not compatible with the latest versions of CUDA and cuDNN, which has created major challenges in running it on Google Colab and local systems. Due to recent updates on Colab and the widespread adoption of newer CUDA/cuDNN versions, OpenPose can no longer function properly, making it nearly impossible for researchers to continue using it in their projects.

My research is heavily dependent on OpenPose, and without an update, my work is currently at a standstill. I kindly request you to release an update that ensures compatibility with the latest CUDA and cuDNN versions. This would help me and benefit the entire research community that relies on OpenPose for human pose estimation.

I deeply appreciate your efforts in maintaining this incredible tool and would be extremely grateful for any update or guidance regarding this issue. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards

Couldn't agree more, as a developer who relies on OpenPose, thank you very much for all the effort you put into OpenPose, and an update would be greatly appreciated.
