Installation ๐Ÿ‘ท

1. Create conda environment

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate actor

Or install the following packages in your pytorch environnement:

pip install tensorboard
pip install matplotlib
pip install ipdb
pip install sklearn
pip install pandas
pip install tqdm
pip install imageio
pip install pyyaml
pip install smplx
pip install chumpy

The code was tested on Python 3.8 and PyTorch 1.7.1.

2. Download the datasets

For all the datasets, be sure to read and follow their license agreements, and cite them accordingly.

For more information about the datasets we use in this research, please check this page, where we provide information on how we obtain/process the datasets and their citations. Please cite the original references for each of the datasets as indicated.

Please install gdown to download directly from Google Drive and then:

bash prepare/download_datasets.sh

Update: Unfortunately, the NTU13 dataset (derived from NTU) is no longer available.

3. Download some SMPL files

bash prepare/download_smpl_files.sh

This will download the SMPL neutral model from this github repo and additionnal files.

If you want to integrate the male and the female versions, you must:

  • Download the models from the SMPL website
  • Move them to models/smpl
  • Change the SMPL_MODEL_PATH variable in src/config.py accordingly.

4. Download the action recogition models

bash prepare/download_recognition_models.sh

Action recognition models are used to extract motion features for evaluation.

For NTU13 and HumanAct12, we use the action recognition models directly from Action2Motion project.

For the UESTC dataset, we train an action recognition model using STGCN, with this command line:

python -m src.train.train_stgcn --dataset uestc --extraction_method vibe --pose_rep rot6d --num_epochs 100 --snapshot 50 --batch_size 64 --lr 0.0001 --num_frames 60 --view all --sampling conseq --sampling_step 1 --glob --no-translation --folder recognition_training

How to use ACTOR ๐Ÿš€

NTU13

Training

python -m src.train.train_cvae --modelname cvae_transformer_rc_rcxyz_kl --pose_rep rot6d --lambda_kl 1e-5 --jointstype vertices --batch_size 20 --num_frames 60 --num_layers 8 --lr 0.0001 --glob --translation --no-vertstrans --dataset DATASET --num_epochs 2000 --snapshot 100 --folder exp/ntu13

HumanAct12

Training

python -m src.train.train_cvae --modelname cvae_transformer_rc_rcxyz_kl --pose_rep rot6d --lambda_kl 1e-5 --jointstype vertices --batch_size 20 --num_frames 60 --num_layers 8 --lr 0.0001 --glob --translation --no-vertstrans --dataset humanact12 --num_epochs 5000 --snapshot 100 --folder exps/humanact12

UESTC

Training

python -m src.train.train_cvae --modelname cvae_transformer_rc_rcxyz_kl --pose_rep rot6d --lambda_kl 1e-5 --jointstype vertices --batch_size 20 --num_frames 60 --num_layers 8 --lr 0.0001 --glob --translation --no-vertstrans --dataset uestc --num_epochs 1000 --snapshot 100 --folder exps/uestc

Evaluation

python -m src.evaluate.evaluate_cvae PATH/TO/checkpoint_XXXX.pth.tar --batch_size 64 --niter 20

This script will evaluate the trained model, on the epoch XXXX, with 20 different seeds, and put all the results in PATH/TO/evaluation_metrics_XXXX_all.yaml.

If you want to get a table with mean and interval, you can use this script:

python -m src.evaluate.tables.easy_table PATH/TO/evaluation_metrics_XXXX_all.yaml

Pretrained models

You can download pretrained models with this script:

bash prepare/download_pretrained_models.sh

Visualization

Grid of stick figures

 python -m src.visualize.visualize_checkpoint PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT.tar --num_actions_to_sample 5  --num_samples_per_action 5

Each line corresponds to an action. The first column on the right represents a movement of the dataset, and the second column represents the reconstruction of the movement (via encoding/decoding). All other columns on the left are generations with random noise.

Example

ntugrid.gifntugrid.gif

Generating and rendering SMPL meshes

Additional dependencies

pip install trimesh
pip install pyrender
pip install imageio-ffmpeg

Generate motions

python -m src.generate.generate_sequences PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT.tar --num_samples_per_action 10 --cpu

It will generate 10 samples per action, and store them in PATH/TO/generation.npy.

Render motions

python -m src.render.rendermotion PATH/TO/generation.npy

It will render the sequences into this folder PATH/TO/generation/.

Examples
Pickup Raising arms High knee running Bending torso Knee raising

Overview of the available models

List of models

modeltype architecture losses
cvae fc rc
gru rcxyz
transformer kl

Construct a model

Follow this: {modeltype}_{architecture} + "_".join(*losses)

For example for the cvae model with Transformer encoder/decoder and with rc, rcxyz and kl loss, you can use: --modelname cvae_transformer_rc_rcxyz_kl.
