It can be found on arxiv as well: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.02445.pdf

The code in this repository was written by Julieta Martinez and Javier Romero.

Dependencies

Get this code and the data

First things first, clone this repo and get the human3.6m dataset on exponential map format.

git clone https://github.com/una-dinosauria/human-motion-prediction.git
cd human-motion-prediction
mkdir data
cd data
wget http://www.cs.stanford.edu/people/ashesh/h3.6m.zip
unzip h3.6m.zip
rm h3.6m.zip
cd ..

Quick demo and visualization

For a quick demo, you can train for a few iterations and visualize the outputs of your model.

To train, run

python src/translate.py --action walking --seq_length_out 25 --iterations 10000

To save some samples of the model, run

python src/translate.py --action walking --seq_length_out 25 --iterations 10000 --sample --load 10000

Finally, to visualize the samples run

python src/forward_kinematics.py

This should create a visualization similar to this one

Running average baselines

To reproduce the running average baseline results from our paper, run

python src/baselines.py

RNN models

To train and reproduce the results of our models, use the following commands

modelargumentstraining time (gtx 1080)notes
Sampling-based loss (SA)python src/translate.py --action walking --seq_length_out 2545s / 1000 itersRealistic long-term motion, loss computed over 1 second.

Untiedpython src/translate.py --residual_velocities --learning_rate 0.005 --architecture basic70s / 1000 iters

You can substitute the --action walking parameter for any action in

["directions", "discussion", "eating", "greeting", "phoning",
 "posing", "purchases", "sitting", "sittingdown", "smoking",
 "takingphoto", "waiting", "walking", "walkingdog", "walkingtogether"]

or --action all (default) to train on all actions.

The code will log the error in Euler angles for each action to tensorboard. You can track the progress during training by typing tensorboard --logdir experiments in the terminal and checking the board under http://127.0.1.1:6006/ in your browser (occasionally, tensorboard might pick another url).
