Vid2DensePose

Overview

The Vid2DensePose is a powerful tool designed for applying the DensePose model to videos, generating detailed "Part Index" visualizations for each frame. This tool is exceptionally useful for enhancing animations, particularly when used in conjunction with MagicAnimate for temporally consistent human image animation.

Key Features

• Enhanced Output: Produces video files showcasing DensePosedata in a vivid, color-coded format.
• MagicAnimate Integration: Seamlessly compatible with MagicAnimate to foster advanced human animation projects.

Prerequisites

To utilize this tool, ensure the installation of:

• Python 3.8 or later
• PyTorch (preferably with CUDA for GPU support)
• Detectron2

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Flode-Labs/vid2densepose.git
   cd vid2densepose
   

2. Install necessary Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Clone the Detectron repository: bash git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git

Usage Guide

1. Modify the main.py script to set your desired input (INPUT_VIDEO_PATH) and output (OUTPUT_VIDEO_PATH) video paths.

2. Run the script: bash python main.py

The script processes the input video and generates an output with the densePose format.

Gradio version

You can also use the Gradio to run the script with an interface. To do so, run the following command:

python app.py

Integration with MagicAnimate

For integration with MagicAnimate:

1. Create the densepose video using the steps outlined above.
2. Use this output as an input to MagicAnimate for generating temporally consistent animations.
