Pose estimation with pure prompting: numbered body diagrams turn Gemini 4 Argon into a keypoint detector
Roger_M_Taylor · x · 2026-10-21
Developer Skalski shares experiments running keypoint detection with pure prompting in Gemini 4 Argon, extending from hand keypoints to full human pose estimation.
Method:
- Provide the model a body/hand diagram with numbered points
- Ask it to locate those numbered points in a real image
- Repeat per-frame over a video for frame-by-frame pose tracking
The author published the full prompt, results, and the model's typical mistakes — a reproducible trick for structured visual localization without any training.
