Update News

  • 10/05/2019, optimize the minimal requirements of GPU memory (at least 3.8GB available).

  • 10/24/2019, Imper-1.2.2, add the training document train.md.

Getting Started

Python 3.6+, Pytorch 1.2, torchvision 0.4, cuda10.0, at least 3.8GB GPU memory and other requirements. All codes are tested on Linux Distributions (Ubutun 16.04 is recommended), and other platforms have not been tested yet.

Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt
apt-get install ffmpeg

Installation

cd thirdparty/neural_renderer
python setup.py install

Running Demo

If you want to get the results of the demo shown on the webpage, you can run the following scripts. The results are saved in ./outputs/results/demos

  1. Demo of Motion Imitation

    python demo_imitator.py --gpu_ids 1
  2. Demo of Appearance Transfer

    python demo_swap.py --gpu_ids 1
  3. Demo of Novel View Synthesis

    python demo_view.py --gpu_ids 1

If you get the errors like RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory, please add the flag --batch_size 1, the minimal GPU memory is 3.8 GB.

Running custom examples (Details)

If you want to test other inputs (source image and reference images from yourself), here are some examples. Please replace the --ip YOUR_IP and --port YOUR_PORT for Visdom visualization.

  1. Motion Imitation

    • source image from iPER dataset
    python run_imitator.py --gpu_ids 0 --model imitator --output_dir ./outputs/results/  \
        --src_path      ./assets/src_imgs/imper_A_Pose/009_5_1_000.jpg    \
        --tgt_path      ./assets/samples/refs/iPER/024_8_2    \
        --bg_ks 13  --ft_ks 3 \
        --has_detector  --post_tune  \
        --save_res --ip YOUR_IP --port YOUR_PORT
    • source image from DeepFashion dataset

    --tgt_path      ./assets/samples/refs/iPER/024_8_2    \
    --bg_ks 25  --ft_ks 3 \
    --has_detector  --post_tune  \
    --save_res --ip YOUR_IP --port YOUR_PORT
    • source image from Internet
    python run_imitator.py --gpu_ids 0 --model imitator --output_dir ./outputs/results/  \
        --src_path      ./assets/src_imgs/internet/men1_256.jpg    \
        --tgt_path      ./assets/samples/refs/iPER/024_8_2    \
        --bg_ks 7   --ft_ks 3 \
        --has_detector  --post_tune --front_warp \
        --save_res --ip YOUR_IP --port YOUR_PORT
  2. Appearance Transfer

    An example that source image from iPER and reference image from DeepFashion dataset.

    python run_swap.py --gpu_ids 0 --model imitator --output_dir ./outputs/results/  \
        --src_path      ./assets/src_imgs/imper_A_Pose/024_8_2_0000.jpg    \
        --tgt_path      ./assets/src_imgs/fashion_man/Sweatshirts_Hoodies-id_0000680701_4_full.jpg    \
        --bg_ks 13  --ft_ks 3 \
        --has_detector  --post_tune  --front_warp --swap_part body  \
        --save_res --ip http://10.10.10.100 --port 31102
  3. Novel View Synthesis

    python run_view.py --gpu_ids 0 --model viewer --output_dir ./outputs/results/  \
    --src_path      ./assets/src_imgs/internet/men1_256.jpg    \
    --bg_ks 13  --ft_ks 3 \
    --has_detector  --post_tune --front_warp --bg_replace \
    --save_res --ip http://10.10.10.100 --port 31102

If you get the errors like RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory, please add the flag --batch_size 1, the minimal GPU memory is 3.8 GB.

The details of each running scripts are shown in runDetails.md.

Training from Scratch

  • The details of training iPER dataset from scratch are shown in train.md.

Announcement

In our paper, the results of LPIPS reported in Table 1, are calculated by 1 – distance score; thereby, the larger is more similar between two images. The beginning intention of using 1 – distance score is that it is more accurate to meet the definition of Similarity in LPIPS.

However, most other papers use the original definition that LPIPS = distance score; therefore, to eliminate the ambiguity and make it consistent with others, we update the results in Table 1 with the original definition in the latest paper.
