TransMoMo: Invariance-Driven Unsupervised Video Motion Retargeting

Project Page | YouTube | Paper

This is the official PyTorch implementation of the CVPR 2020 paper "TransMoMo: Invariance-Driven Unsupervised Video Motion Retargeting".

Environment

conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=<your cuda version>
conda install pyyaml scikit-image scikit-learn opencv
pip install -r requirements.txt

Data

Mixamo

Mixamo is a synthesized 3D character animation dataset.

1. Download mixamo data here.
2. Extract under data/mixamo

For directions for downloading 3D Mixamo data please refer to this link.

SoloDance

SoloDance is a collection of dancing videos on youtube. We use DensePose to extract skeleton sequences from these videos for training.

1. Download the extracted skeleton sequences here.
2. Extract under data/solo_dance

The original videos can be downloaded here.

Preprocessing

run sh scripts/preprocess.sh to preprocess the two datasets above.

Pretrained model

Download the pretrained models here.

Inference

1. For Skeleton Extraction, please consider using a pose estimation library such as Detectron2. We require the input skeleton sequences to be in the format of a numpy .npy file:

   • The file should contain an array with shape 15 x 2 x length.
   • The first dimension (15) corresponds the 15 body joint defined here.
   • The second dimension (2) corresponds to x and y coordinates.
   • The third dimension (length) is the temporal dimension.

2. For Motion Retargeting Network, we provide the sample command for inference:

python infer_pair.py 
--config configs/transmomo.yaml 
--checkpoint transmomo_mixamo_36_800_24/checkpoints/autoencoder_00200000.pt # replace with actual path
--source a.npy  # replace with actual path
--target b.npy  # replace with actual path
--source_width 1280 --source_height 720 
--target_height 1920 --target_width 1080

3. For Skeleton-to-Video Rendering, please refer to Everybody Dance Now.

Training

To train the Motion Retargeting Network, run

python train.py --config configs/transmomo.yaml

To train on the SoloDance dataest, run

python train.py --config configs/transmomo_solo_dance.yaml

Testing

For testing motion retargeting MSE, first generate the motion-retargeted motions with

python test.py
--config configs/transmomo.yaml # replace with the actual config used for training
--checkpoint transmomo_mixamo_36_800_24/checkpoints/autoencoder_00200000.pt
--out_dir transmomo_mixamo_36_800_24_results # replace actual path to output directory

And then compute MSE by

python scripts/compute_mse.py 
--in_dir transmomo_mixamo_36_800_24_results # replace with the previous output directory
