Minimal Hand Pytorch

Unofficial PyTorch reimplementation of minimal-hand (CVPR2020).

you can also find in youtube or bilibili

This project reimplement following components :

1. Training (DetNet) and Evaluation Code
2. Shape Estimation
3. Pose Estimation: Instead of IKNet in original paper, an analytical inverse kinematics method is used.

Offical project link: [minimal-hand]

Update

• :zap: 2022/08/04 Our paper HDR based on this re-implementation is accepeted by ECCV 2022 !

• 2022/04/17 new demo video is available with HTML hand texture, related code would be released.

• 2021/08/22 many guys may get errors when creating environment from .yaml file, u may refer to here

• 2021/03/09 update about utils/LM.py, time cost drop from 12s/item to 1.57s/item

• 2021/03/12 update about utils/LM.py, time cost drop from 1.57s/item to 0.27s/item

• 2021/03/17 realtime perfomance is achieved when using PSO to estimate shape, coming soon

• 2021/03/20 Add PSO to estimate shape. AUC is decreased by about 0.01 on STB and RHD datasets, and increased a little on EO and do datasets. Modifiy utlis/vis.py to improve realtime perfomance

• 2021/03/24 Fixed some errors in calculating AUC. Update the 3D PCK AUC Diffenence.

• 2021/06/14 A new method to estimate shape parameters by using fully connected neural network is added. This is finished by @maitetsu as part of his undergraduate graduation project. Please refer to ShapeNet.md for details. Thanks to @kishan1823 and @EEWenbinWu for pointing out the mistake. There are a little differences between the manopth I used and the official manopth. More details see issues 11. manopth/rotproj.py is the modified rotproj.py. This could achieve much faster real-time performance!

Usage

• Retrieve the code

git clone https://github.com/MengHao666/Minimal-Hand-pytorch
cd Minimal-Hand-pytorch

• Create and activate the virtual environment with python dependencies

conda env create --file=environment.yml
conda activate minimal-hand-torch

Prepare MANO hand model

1. Download MANO model from here and unzip it.

2. Create an account by clicking Sign Up and provide your information

3. Download Models and Code (the downloaded file should have the format mano_v_.zip). Note that all code and data from this download falls under the MANO license.

4. unzip and copy the content of the models folder into the mano folder

5. Your structure should look like this:

Minimal-Hand-pytorch/
   mano/
      models/
      webuser/

Download and Prepare datasets

Training dataset

• CMU HandDB part1 ; part2
• Rendered Handpose Dataset
• GANerated Hands Dataset

Evaluation dataset

• STB Dataset，or u can find ithere:

  STB_supp: for license reason, download link could be found in bihand

• DexterObjectDataset ;

  DO_supp: Google Drive or Baidu Pan (s892)

• EgoDexterDataset

  EO_supp: Google Drive or Baidu Pan (axkm)

Processing

• Create a data directory, extract all above datasets or additional materials in it

Now your data folder structure should like this:

Note

• All code and data from these download falls under their own licenses.
• DO represents "dexter+object" dataset; EO represents "EgoDexter" dataset
• DO_supp and EO_supp are modified from original ones.
• DO_pred_2d.npy are 2D predictions from 2D part of DetNet.
• some labels of DO and EO is obviously wrong (u could find some examples with original labels from dexter_object.py or egodexter.py), when projected into image plane, thus should be omitted. Here come my_{}3D.txt and my_annotation.txt_3D.txt.

Shape Estimation with LM algorithm

Run the shape optimization code. This can be very time consuming when the weight parameter is quite small.

python optimize_shape.py --weight 1e-5

or use my results

python optimize_shape.py --path my_results/out_testset/

Pose Estimation

Run the following code which uses a analytical inverse kinematics method.

python aik_pose.py

or use my results

python aik_pose.py --path my_results/out_testset/

Detnet training and evaluation curve

Run the following code to see my results

python plot.py --out_path my_results/out_loss_auc

(AUC means 3D PCK, and ACC_HM means 2D PCK)

3D PCK AUC Diffenence

* means this project

Note

• Adjusting training parameters carefully, longer training time, more complicated network or Biomechanical Constraint Losses could further boost accuracy.
• As there is no official open source of original paper, above comparison is a little rough.
