Requirements

Python 3 (tested on version 3.5)
TensorFlow (tested on version 1.8)
PyTorch for AlphaPose, PoseFlow, and NMR (tested on version 0.4.0)
AlphaPose/PoseFlow
Neural Mesh Renderer for rendering results. See below.
CUDA (tested on CUDA 9.0 with Titan 1080 TI)
ffmpeg (tested on version 3.4.4)

There is currently no CPU-only support.

License

Please note that while our code is under BSD, the SMPL model and datasets we use have their own licenses that must be followed.

Contributions

Windows build and Unity port. Thanks George @ZjuSxh! https://github.com/Zju-George/human_dynamics

Installation

Setup virtualenv

virtualenv venv_hmmr -p python3
source venv_hmmr/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install numpy  # Some of the required packages need numpy to already be installed.
deactivate
source venv_hmmr/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install External Dependencies.

Neural Mesh Renderer and AlphaPose for rendering results:

cd src/external
sh install_external.sh

The above script also clones my fork of AlphaPose/PoseFlow, which is necessary to run the demo to extract tracks of people in videos. Please follow the directions in the installation, in particular running pip install -r requirements.txt from src/external/AlphaPose and downloading the trained models.

If you have a pre-installed version of AlphaPose, symlink the directory in src/external. The only change that my fork has is a very minor modification in AlphaPose/pytorch branch's demo.py: see this commit, copy over the changes in demo.py.

Demo

Download the pre-trained models (also available on Google Drive). Place the models folder as a top-level directory.

wget http://angjookanazawa.com/cachedir/hmmr/hmmr_models.tar.gz && tar -xf hmmr_models.tar.gz

Download the demo_data videos (also available on Google Drive). Place the demo_data folder as a top-level directory.

wget http://angjookanazawa.com/cachedir/hmmr/hmmr_demo_data.tar.gz && tar -xf hmmr_demo_data.tar.gz

Run the demo. This code runs AlphaPose/PoseFlow for you. Please make sure AlphaPose can be run on a directory of images if you are having any issues.

Sample usage:

# Run on a single video:
python -m demo_video --vid_path demo_data/penn_action-2278.mp4 --load_path models/hmmr_model.ckpt-1119816

# If there are multiple people in the video, you can also pass a track index:
python -m demo_video --track_id 1 --vid_path demo_data/insta_variety-tabletennis_43078913_895055920883203_6720141320083472384_n_short.mp4 --load_path models/hmmr_model.ckpt-1119816

# Run on an entire directory of videos:
python -m demo_video --vid_dir demo_data/ --load_path models/hmmr_model.ckpt-1119816

This will make a directory demo_output/<video_name>, where intermediate tracking results and our results are saved as video, as well as a pkl file. Alternatively you can specify the output directory as well. See demo_video.py

Training code

See doc/train.

Data

InstaVariety

We provided the raw list of videos used for InstaVariety, as well as the pre-processed files in tfrecords. Please see doc/insta_variety.md for more details..
