## Installation
### 1. Download SMPL models
To download the *SMPL* model go to [this](http://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de) (male and female models) and [this](http://smplify.is.tue.mpg.de) (gender neutral model) project website and register to get access to the downloads section. **Place them as following:**
```bash
data
└── smplx
├── J_regressor_body25.npy
└── smpl
├── SMPL_FEMALE.pkl
├── SMPL_MALE.pkl
└── SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl
```
### 2. Requirements
- torch==1.4.0
- torchvision==0.5.0
- opencv-python
- pyrender: for visualization
- chumpy: for loading SMPL model
Some of python libraries can be found in `requirements.txt`. You can test different version of PyTorch.
## Quick Start
We provide an example multiview dataset[[dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/s/24mb7r921b1g9a7/zju-ls-feng.zip?dl=0)][[BaiduDisk](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1lvAopzYGCic3nauoQXjbPw)(vg1z)]. After downloading the dataset, you can run the following example scripts.
```bash
data=path/to/data
out=path/to/output
# 0. extract the video to images
python3 scripts/preprocess/extract_video.py ${data}
# 1. example for skeleton reconstruction
python3 code/demo_mv1pmf_skel.py ${data} --out ${out} --vis_det --vis_repro --undis --sub_vis 1 7 13 19
# 2. example for SMPL reconstruction
python3 code/demo_mv1pmf_smpl.py ${data} --out ${out} --end 300 --vis_smpl --undis --sub_vis 1 7 13 19
```
## Not Quick Start
### 0. Prepare Your Own Dataset
```bash
zju-ls-feng
├── extri.yml
├── intri.yml
└── videos
├── 1.mp4
├── 2.mp4
├── ...
├── 8.mp4
└── 9.mp4
```
The input videos are placed in `videos/`.
Here `intri.yml` and `extri.yml` store the camera intrinsici and extrinsic parameters. For example, if the name of a video is `1.mp4`, then there must exist `K_1`, `dist_1` in `intri.yml`, and `R_1((3, 1), rotation vector of camera)`, `T_1(3, 1)` in `extri.yml`. The file format is following [OpenCV format](https://docs.opencv.org/master/dd/d74/tutorial_file_input_output_with_xml_yml.html).
### 1. Run [OpenPose](https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose)
```bash
data=path/to/data
out=path/to/output
python3 scripts/preprocess/extract_video.py ${data} --openpose
```
### 2. Run the code
```bash
# 1. example for skeleton reconstruction
python3 code/demo_mv1pmf_skel.py ${data} --out ${out} --vis_det --vis_repro --undis --sub_vis 1 7 13 19
# 2. example for SMPL reconstruction
python3 code/demo_mv1pmf_smpl.py ${data} --out ${out} --end 300 --vis_smpl --undis --sub_vis 1 7 13 19
```
- `--vis_det`: visualize the detection
- `--vis_repro`: visualize the reprojection
- `--undis`: use to undistort the images
- `--sub_vis`: use to specify the views to visualize. If not set, the code will use all views
- `--vis_smpl`: use to render the SMPL mesh to images.
- `--start, --end`: control the begin and end number of frames.
### 3. Output
The results are saved in `json` format.
```bash
├── keypoints3d
│ ├── 000000.json
│ └── xxxxxx.json
└── smpl
├── 000000.jpg
├── 000000.json
└── 000004.json
```
The data in `keypoints3d/000000.json` is a list, each element represents a human body.
```bash
{
'id': ,
'keypoints3d': [[x0, y0, z0, c0], [x1, y1, z0, c1], ..., [xn, yn, zn, cn]]
}
```
The data in `smpl/000000.json` is also a list, each element represents the SMPL parameters which is slightly different from official model.
```bash
{
"id": ,
"Rh": <(1, 3)>,
"Th": <(1, 3)>,
"poses": <(1, 72)>,
"shapes": <(1, 10)>
}
```
We set the first 3 dimensions of `poses` to zero, and add a new parameter `Rh` to represents the global oritentation, the vertices of SMPL model V = RX(theta, beta) + T.
## Acknowledgements
Here are the great works this project is built upon:
- SMPL models and layer are from MPII [SMPL-X model](https://github.com/vchoutas/smplx).
- Some functions are borrowed from [SPIN](https://github.com/nkolot/SPIN), [VIBE](https://github.com/mkocabas/VIBE), [SMPLify-X](https://github.com/vchoutas/smplify-x)
- The method for fitting 3D skeleton and SMPL model is similar with [TotalCapture](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~hanbyulj/totalcapture/), without using point cloud.
We also would like to thank Wenduo Feng who is the performer in the sample data.
