End-to-end Recovery of Human Shape and Pose

Angjoo Kanazawa, Michael J. Black, David W. Jacobs, Jitendra Malik CVPR 2018

Project Page

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• TensorFlow tested on version 1.3, demo alone runs with TF 1.12

Installation

Setup virtualenv

virtualenv venv_hmr
source venv_hmr/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
deactivate
source venv_hmr/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install TensorFlow

With GPU:

pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.3.0

Without GPU:

pip install tensorflow==1.3.0

Demo

1. Download the pre-trained models

wget https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~kanazawa/cachedir/hmr/models.tar.gz && tar -xf models.tar.gz

2. Run the demo

python -m demo --img_path data/coco1.png
python -m demo --img_path data/im1954.jpg

Images should be tightly cropped, where the height of the person is roughly 150px. On images that are not tightly cropped, you can run openpose and supply its output json (run it with --write_json option). When json_path is specified, the demo will compute the right scale and bbox center to run HMR:

python -m demo --img_path data/random.jpg --json_path data/random_keypoints.json

(The demo only runs on the most confident bounding box, see src/util/openpose.py:get_bbox)

Opensource contributions

Dawars has created a docker image for this project: https://hub.docker.com/r/dawars/hmr/

MandyMo has implemented a pytorch version of the repo: https://github.com/MandyMo/pytorch_HMR.git

Dene33 has made a .ipynb for Google Colab that takes video as input and returns .bvh animation! https://github.com/Dene33/video_to_bvh

I have not tested them, but the contributions are super cool! Thank you!!
