Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hand Pose Estimation
This repository provides a code base to evaluate the trained models of the paper Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hand Pose Estimation and reproduce the numbers of Table 2. It is a modified version of the code found here by Christian Zimmermann, adapted to run our model.
Recommended system
Recommended system (tested):
- Ubuntu 16.04.2 (xenial)
- Python 3.5.2
Python packages used by the example provided and their recommended version:
- tensorflow==1.3.0
- numpy==1.14.5
- scipy==1.1.0
- matplotlib==1.5.3
- pytorch==0.3.1
- opencv-python==3.4.1.15
Preprocessing for training and evaluation
In order to use the training and evaluation scripts you need download and preprocess the datasets.
Rendered Hand Pose Dataset (RHD)
- Download the dataset RHD dataset v. 1.1
- Extract it.
- In the file 'create_binary_db.py', set the variable 'path_to_db' to the path of the extracted dataset.
- Run
python create_binary_db.py
- This will create a binary file in ./data/bin according to how 'set' was configured. Keep it at 'evaluation'.
Stereo Tracking Benchmark Dataset (STB)
- To run the dataset on STB, it is neecessary to get the dataset presented in Zhang et al., ‘3d Hand Pose Tracking and Estimation Using Stereo Matching’, 2016
- The link to the dataset can be found here
- Unzip the dataset
- In 'create_db.m', set 'PATH_TO_DATASET' to the path of the extracted dataset
- Run
cd ./data/stb/
matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "create_db"
- This will create the binary file ./data/stb/stb_evaluation.bin
Trained models
- The trained models can be found here.
- After downloading the models, unzip it into the main project directory.
Evaluation
- To reproduce the numbers of table 2, set the desired experimental settings in 'evaluate_model.py'. These correspond to the following parameters in the paper:
| Paper | Code |
|---|---|
| H | hand_side_invariance |
| S | scale_invariance |
- Run
python evaluate_model.py
- This will create a folder named 'eval_results' in the respective model folder in which the PCK curve and some predictions are saved.
