Raise a warning/exception when num_poses>1 for Pose Landmarker

MediaPipe Solution (you are using)

Pose Landmarker

Programming language

Python

Are you willing to contribute it

Yes

Describe the feature and the current behaviour/state

When a Pose Landmarker is initialized with options, num_poses can be provided to specify the maximum number of persons in the image, but the model itself only supports one person according to model info PDF. Currently, no warning or exception is raised when num_poses > 1 and this confuses users that expect more pose landmark estimations to be returned. This isn't even specified in the documentation.

Will this change the current API? How?

No.

Who will benefit with this feature?

All users that expect Pose Landmarker to support multiple people detection because of how the current API is written.

Please specify the use cases for this feature

Make more clear that Pose Landmarker only supports inference on an image with a single person.

Any Other info

No response
