Installation

Setup virtualenv

virtualenv venv_hmmr -p python3
source venv_hmmr/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install numpy  # Some of the required packages need numpy to already be installed.
deactivate
source venv_hmmr/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install External Dependencies.

Neural Mesh Renderer and AlphaPose for rendering results:

cd src/external
sh install_external.sh

The above script also clones my fork of AlphaPose/PoseFlow, which is necessary to run the demo to extract tracks of people in videos. Please follow the directions in the installation, in particular running pip install -r requirements.txt from src/external/AlphaPose and downloading the trained models.

If you have a pre-installed version of AlphaPose, symlink the directory in src/external. The only change that my fork has is a very minor modification in AlphaPose/pytorch branch's demo.py: see this commit, copy over the changes in demo.py.

Demo

  1. Download the pre-trained models (also available on Google Drive). Place the models folder as a top-level directory.
wget http://angjookanazawa.com/cachedir/hmmr/hmmr_models.tar.gz && tar -xf hmmr_models.tar.gz
  1. Download the demo_data videos (also available on Google Drive). Place the demo_data folder as a top-level directory.
wget http://angjookanazawa.com/cachedir/hmmr/hmmr_demo_data.tar.gz && tar -xf hmmr_demo_data.tar.gz
  1. Run the demo. This code runs AlphaPose/PoseFlow for you. Please make sure AlphaPose can be run on a directory of images if you are having any issues.

Sample usage:

# Run on a single video:
python -m demo_video --vid_path demo_data/penn_action-2278.mp4 --load_path models/hmmr_model.ckpt-1119816

# If there are multiple people in the video, you can also pass a track index:
python -m demo_video --track_id 1 --vid_path demo_data/insta_variety-tabletennis_43078913_895055920883203_6720141320083472384_n_short.mp4 --load_path models/hmmr_model.ckpt-1119816

# Run on an entire directory of videos:
python -m demo_video --vid_dir demo_data/ --load_path models/hmmr_model.ckpt-1119816

This will make a directory demo_output/<video_name>, where intermediate tracking results and our results are saved as video, as well as a pkl file. Alternatively you can specify the output directory as well. See demo_video.py

Training code

See doc/train.

Data

InstaVariety

Insta-Variety Teaser

We provided the raw list of videos used for InstaVariety, as well as the pre-processed files in tfrecords. Please see doc/insta_variety.md for more details..
