Key idea: Inverse Kinematics

HybrIK and HybrIK-X are based on a hybrid inverse kinematics (IK) to convert accurate 3D keypoints to parametric body meshes.

Demo

First make sure you download the pretrained model (with predicted camera) and place it in the ${ROOT}/pretrained_models directory, i.e., ./pretrained_models/hybrik_hrnet.pth and ./pretrained_models/hybrikx_rle_hrnet.pth.

SMPL

Visualize HybrIK on videos (run in single frame) and save results:

python scripts/demo_video.py --video-name examples/dance.mp4 --out-dir res_dance --save-pk --save-img

The saved results in ./res_dance/res.pk can be imported to Blender with our add-on.

Visualize HybrIK on images:

python scripts/demo_image.py --img-dir examples --out-dir res

SMPL-X

python scripts/demo_video_x.py --video-name examples/dance.mp4 --out-dir res_dance --save-pk --save-img

Fetch data

Download Human3.6M, MPI-INF-3DHP, 3DPW and MSCOCO datasets. You need to follow directory structure of the data as below. Thanks to the great job done by Moon et al., we use the Human3.6M images provided in PoseNet.
