New feature: support web camera

We support run DynaBOA with web camera. Please build Openpose first. Then, try it by

python dynaboa_webcam.py --use_boa 1 --dynamic_boa 1 --save_video 1

If you want to run on an in-the-wild video, you can change capture_mode to video, and specify vid_path. For example:

python dynaboa_webcam.py --capture_mode video --vid_path $VIDPATH --use_boa 1 --dynamic_boa 1 --save_video 1

Description

We focus on reconstructing human mesh from out-of-domain videos. In our experiments, we train a source model (termed as BaseModel) on Human 3.6M. To produce accurate human mesh on out-of-domain images, we optimize the BaseModel on target images via DynaBOA at test time. Below are the comparison results between BaseModel and the adapted model on the Internet videos with various camera parameters, motion, etc.

Get Started

DynaBOA has been implemented and tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with python = 3.6.

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/syguan96/DynaBOA.git

Install required packages:

conda create -n DynaBOA-env python=3.6
conda activate DynaBOA-env
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch-lts -c nvidia
pip install -r requirements.txt
install spacepy following https://spacepy.github.io/install_linux.html

Download required file from File 1 and File 2. After unzipping files, rename File 1 to data (ensuring you do not overwrite gmm_08.pkl in ./data) and move the files in File 2 to data/retrieval_res. Finally, they should look like this:

|-- data
|   |--dataset_extras
|   |   |--3dpw_0_0.npz
|   |   |--3dpw_0_1.npz
|   |   |--...
|   |--retrieval_res
|   |   |--...
|   |--smpl
|   |   |--...
|   |--spin_data
|   |   |--gmm_08.pkl
|   |--basemodel.pt
|   |--J_regressor_extra.npy
|   |--J_regressor_h36m.npy
|   |--smpl_mean_params.npz

Download Human 3.6M using this tool, and then extract images by:

python process_data.py --dataset h36m

Running on the 3DPW

Download the 3DPW dataset. Then edit PW3D_ROOT in the config.py. Then, run:

bash run_on_3dpw.sh

Results on 3DPW

Method	Protocol	PA-MPJPE	MPJPE	PVE
SPIN	#PS	59.2	96.9	135.1
PARE	#PS	46.4	79.1	94.2
Mesh Graphormer	#PS	45.6	74.7	87.7
DynaBOA (Ours)	#PS	40.4	65.5	82.0

Running on Internet Videos

Prepare Data

Place videos into a folder, and record folder path by InternetData_ROOT in config.py. Then extract images by:

python vid2img.py

The images are saved into InternetData_ROOT/images.

Detect 2D keypoints.

We need 2D keypoint annotations to calculate a bounding box around the person and apply constraints to the optimization process. We use AlphaPose to detect the 2D keypoints of the person. The install instruction can be found here. After installing AlphaPose, you can use it to detect 2D keypoints. For example:

# go to the directory of Alphapose
python scripts/demo_inference.py --indir $IMAGES_DIR --outdir $RES_DIR --cfg configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res152_lr1e-3_1x-duc.yaml --checkpoint pretrained_models/fast_421_res152_256x192.pth --save_video --save_img --flip --min_box_area 300

$IMAGES_DIR is the directory of images to be evaluated, and $RES_DIR is the directory to save detected 2D keypoints. OpenPose also can detect accurate 2D keypoints. If you use OpenPose, you should detect BODY_25 format keypoints.

Process Data

python process_data.py --dataset internet

Run DynaBOA

bash run_on_internet.sh
