hi, i need to know how to make my trained Yolov5 model to detect the human pose  
for example if person is has his left hand, holding a gun and aiming it , the model give me alarm or msg, is there are some videos or examples on that?  
thank you

Hi @mo_t1 - YOLOv5 is an object detection model, so it won’t be the model you use for pose estimation.

For human pose estimation, you’ll want to use a Keypoint detection model:
