Do edges matter when making a keypoint skeleton?

I build out a keypoint skeleton to use when labelling my keypoint data for tennis court.

However I wanted to know do the edges matter? Ie does the model actually use the edges when training or at inference time?

I see other people labelling their tennis courts and some have many edges in their skeleton while others have a few.

Wanted to know the best practices for making a skeleton as well as how the edges effect the model quality and output.

FYI - I’ve already read all the docs and blog posts about skeletons.

Thanks!

Hi @Noor_Hashem!
Edges do not influence model training. They exist to render the skeleton during inference to help humans with visual debugging or visually understanding the shape of the tennis court in your case.
