Requirements:

License:

Our code is licensed under BSD. Note that the SMPL model and any datasets still fall under their respective licenses.

Installation:

virtualenv venv_phd -p python3
source venv_phd/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install numpy tensorflow-gpu==1.15.0
pip install torch==1.3.0  # Make sure the wheel corresponds to your CUDA Version
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd src/external
sh install_nmr.sh

Download the model weights from this Google Drive link. You should place them in phd/models.

Running Demo

Penn Action

Download the Penn Action dataset. You should place or symlink the dataset to phd/data/Penn_Action.

Running on one subsequence

--vid_id 0104 runs the model on video 0104 in Penn Action. The public model is conditioned on 15 images, so --start_frame 60 starts the conditioning window at 60, and future prediction will start on frame 76. --ar_length 25 sets the number of future predictions at 25, which is the prediction length the model was trained on. You can also try increasing ar_length, which usually looks reasonable until 35.

python demo.py --load_path models/phd.ckpt-199269 --vid_id 0104 --ar_length 25 --start_frame 60

For reference, this should be your output.

Running on multiple subsequences

You can also run at multiple starting points in the same sequence. --start_frame 0 --skip_rate 5 will run starting at frame 0, frame 5, frame 10, etc.

python demo.py --load_path models/phd.ckpt-199269 --vid_id 0104 --ar_length 25 --start_frame 0 --skip_rate 5

For reference, this should be your output.

Running on Any Video

To run on a generic video, you will need a tracklet around the person. We extract the tracklet using PoseFlow.

Follow directions to download AlphaPose and Model Weights from https://github.com/MVIG-SJTU/AlphaPose.

Roughly, that should entail:

  1. Clone the repo to src/external
  2. Build AlphaPose using python setup.py build develop --user
  3. Download pre-trained weights to the specified directories. Use the ResNet50 Fast Pose from the Model Zoo.

Steps 1. and 2. can be done by running sh install_alphapose.sh in src/external

Now you should be able to run the model on any video, eg:

python demo.py --load_path models/phd.ckpt-199269 --vid_path data/0502.mp4 --start_frame 0 --ar_length 25
