Getting Started

For inference on TikTok dataset or your own image and poses, download our MagicDance checkpoint.

For appearance control pretraining, please download the pretrained model for StableDiffusion V1.5.

For appearance-disentangled Pose Control, please download pretrained Appearance Control Model and pretrained ControlNet OpenPose.

The pre-processed TikTok dataset can be downloaded from here. OpenPose may fail to detect human pose skeletons for some images, so we will filter those failure cases and train our model on clean data.

Place the pretrained weights and dataset as following:

MagicDance
|----TikTok-v4
|----pretrained_weights
  |----control_v11p_sd15_openpose.pth
  |----control_sd15_ini.ckpt
  |----model_state-110000.th
  |----model_state-10000.th  
|----...

Environment

The environment from my machine is python==3.9, pytorch==1.13.1, CUDA==11.7. You may use other version of these prerequisites according to your local environment.

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate magicpose

Inference with your own image and pose sequence:

bash scripts/inference_any_image_pose.sh

We offer some images and poses in "example_data", you can easily inference with your own image or pose sequence by replacing the arguments "local_cond_image_path" and "local_pose_path" in inference_any_image_pose.sh. Some interesting outputs from out-of-domain images are shown below:

Our model is also able to retarget the pose of generated image from T2I model.

Inference

Inference on the test set:

bash scripts/inference_tiktok_dataset.sh

We use exactly same code from DisCo for metrics evaluation. Some example outputs from our model are shown below:

Training

Appearance Control Pretraining:

bash scripts/appearance_control_pretraining.sh

Appearance-Disentangled Pose Control:

bash scripts/appearance_disentangle_pose_control.sh

Multi-GPU training:

We have already implemented DistributedDataParallel in the python training script. If you want to use multi gpu instead of the first gpu on your machine for traning, see the following script for an example:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 torchrun --master_port 10000 --nproc_per_node 8 train_tiktok.py \

This will use 8 GPUs and run 8 processes(nproc_per_node=8) for training.

Using your own video data for training

For training on your own dataset, you first need to run openpose for your input images/videos and save the visualized pose map. Then, organize them as the format shown in the TikTok dataset. You can also refer to DisCo-OpenPose Preprocessing or ControlNet-OpenPose, we use exactly the same Pose ControlNet in our pipeline. Then set the path to your data in dataset/tiktok_video_arnold_copy.py

Some tips

The task

From our experiences with this project, this motion retargeting task is a data-hungry task. Generation result highly depends on the training data, e.g. the quality of pose tracker, the amount of video sequences and frames per video in your training data. You may consider adopt DensePose as in MagicAnimate, DWPose as in Animate Anyone or any other geometry control for better generation quality. We have tried MMPose as well, which produced slightly better pose detection results. Introduce extra training data will yield better performance, consider using any other real-human dataset half-body/full-body dataset, e.g. TaiChi/DeepFashion, for further finetuning.

The code

Most of the arguments are self-explanatory in the codes. Several key arguments are explained below.

model_config A relative or absolute folder path to the config file of your model architecture.
img_bin_limit The maximum step for randomly selecting source and target image during training. During inference, the value is set to be "all".
control_mode This argument controls the Image-CFG during inference. "controlnet_important" denotes Image-CFG is used and "balance" means not.
wonoise The reference image is fed into the appearance control model without adding noise.
with_text When "with_text" is given, text is not used for training. (I know it's a bit confusing, lol)
finetune_control Finetune Appearance Control Model (and Pose ControlNet).
output_dir A relative or absolute folder for writing checkpoints.
local_image_dir A relative or absolute folder for writing image outputs.
image_pretrain_dir A relative or absolute folder for loading appearance control model checkpoint.
pose_pretrain_dir A relative or absolute path to pose controlnet.
