FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'DATA_FOLDER/keypoints

[Piero-M]

Good morning, this model seems to me extremely exciting!

I have configuration problems, in fact I have this error and I do not understand, keypoints should be generated by myself or should I do something?

This is the error:

python smplifyx/main.py --config cfg_files/fit_smplx.yaml --data_folder DATA_FOLDER --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER --visualize="True" --model_folder MODEL_FOLDER --vposer_ckpt VPOSER_FOLDER --part_segm_fn smplx_parts_segm.pkl

For a new image, you are supposed to provide the keypoints as input to the code. You need to use OpenPose for this. If you want to fit the SMPL-X model, for best results, please remember to active the --hand and --face flags, to generate the additional keypoints on the hands and the face respectively.

The OpenPose output should be stored in the DATA_FOLDER/keypoints folder. I copy from the README:

DATA_FOLDER should contain two subfolders, images, where the images are located, and keypoints, where the OpenPose output should be stored.

hi, thanks for the answer, but don't hop understood one thing, OpenPose runs automatically and creates the output in the keypoints folder?

or do I have to run OpenPose for each image and then manually insert it in the keypoints folder of smplifyx?

[geopavlakos]

You need to run OpenPose yourself to generate the keypoints. OpenPose can take as input a folder of images and process all of them at once, so you can specify the input folder to be DATA_FOLDER/images and the output DATA_FOLDER/keypoints. This way, you will not need to do any manual moving of files.

perfect thank you! can I create a unique command to run OpenPose and SMPL-X?

Also I would like to find the size of some points that interest me of the avatar? How can I do that?

Here's an example of what I mean:

can I create a unique command to run OpenPose and SMPL-X?

We don't provide this functionality at the moment in this repo, but this should be easy to do, e.g., by writing a short shell script.

[Piero-M]

Perfect, thank you!

Can you help me to extract the measurements from the avatar model?

[vchoutas]

@PieroMondora Once you have the final mesh of the model you want,
you can load it in e.g. Blender and then select
the vertices/triangles, etc., that you want for your measurements.

[Piero-M]

@vchoutas Thanks, I'll try.

[Piero-M]

Sorry, but the program does not work without CUDA? I would like to try it on Mac with CPU

@PieroMondora

I have a nice latest new imac sitting on my desk - but all machine learning stuff is using cuda / cudnn -> nvidia. Apple have ostrasized nvididia so you won't find nvidia drivers past high sierra.

I ended up buying a hp workstation z440 and I'm running docker + ubuntu
here's the docker file I used to get open pose

@johndpope

So there's no chance of trying it on a mac?
