Occupancy Flow

This repository contains the code for the project Occupancy Flow - 4D Reconstruction by Learning Particle Dynamics.

You can find detailed usage instructions for training your own models and using pre-trained models below.

Installation

Set up the environment

method 1: local install

First you have to make sure that you have all dependencies in place. The simplest way to do so, is to use anaconda.

You can create and activate an anaconda environment called oflow using

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate oflow

method 2: using docker

Run below command. It will set up everything and share the output with host machine.

docker compose build
docker compose run app bash
(or in case you have cuda11 compatible gpu) docker compose run cuda11app bash

Set up Occupancy Flow

Next, compile the extension modules. You can do this via

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Demo

You can test our code on the provided input point cloud sequences in the demo/ folder. To this end, simple run

python generate.py configs/demo.yaml

This script should create a folder out/demo/ where the output is stored.

Dataset

Point-based Data

To train a new model from scratch, you have to download the full dataset. You can download the pre-processed data (~42 GB) using

bash scripts/download_data.sh

The script will download the point-based point-based data for the Dynamic FAUST (D-FAUST) dataset to the data/ folder.

Please note: We do not provide the renderings for the 4D reconstruction from image sequences experiment nor the meshes for the interpolation and generative tasks due to privacy regulations. We outline how you can download the mesh data in the following.

Mesh Data

Please follow the instructions on D-FAUST homepage to download the "female and male registrations" as well as "scripts to load / parse the data". Next, follow their instructions in the scripts/README.txt file to extract the obj-files of the sequences. Once completed, you should have a folder with the following structure:


your_dfaust_folder/
| 50002_chicken_wings/
    | 00000.obj
    | 00001.obj
    | ...
    | 000215.obj
| 50002_hips/
    | 00000.obj
    | ...
| ...
| 50027_shake_shoulders/
    | 00000.obj
    | ...


You can now run

bash scripts/migrate_dfaust.sh path/to/your_dfaust_folder

to copy the mesh data to the dataset folder. The argument has to be the folder to which you have extracted the mesh data (the your_dfaust_folder from the directory tree above).

Usage

When you have installed all dependencies and obtained the preprocessed data, you are ready to run our pre-trained models and train new models from scratch.

Generation

To start the normal mesh generation process using a trained model, use

python generate.py configs/CONFIG.yaml

where you replace CONFIG.yaml with the name of the configuration file you want to use.

The easiest way is to use a pretrained model. You can do this by using one of the config files

configs/pointcloud/oflow_w_correspond_pretrained.yaml
configs/interpolation/oflow_pretrained.yaml
configs/generative/oflow_pretrained.yaml

Our script will automatically download the model checkpoints and run the generation. You can find the outputs in the out/ folder.

Please note that the config files *_pretrained.yaml are only for generation, not for training new models: when these configs are used for training, the model will be trained from scratch, but during inference our code will still use the pretrained model.

Generation - Generative Tasks

For model-specific latent space interpolations and motion transfers, you first have to run

python encode_latent_motion_space.py config/generative/CONFIG.yaml

Next, you can call

python generate_latent_space_interpolation.py config/generative/CONFIG.yaml

or

python generate_motion_transfer.py config/generative/CONFIG.yaml

Please note: Make sure that you use the appropriate model for the generation processes, e.g. the latent space interpolations and motion transfers can only be generated with a generative model (e.g. configs/generative/oflow_pretrained.yaml).

Evaluation

You can evaluate the generated output of a model on the test set using

python eval.py configs/CONFIG.yaml

The evaluation results will be saved to pickle and csv files.

Training

Finally, to train a new network from scratch, run

python train.py configs/CONFIG.yaml

You can monitor the training process on http://localhost:6006 using tensorboard:

cd OUTPUT_DIR
tensorboard --logdir ./logs --port 6006

where you replace OUTPUT_DIR with the respective output directory. For available training options, please have a look at config/default.yaml.

Dynamic FAUST Dataset

We applied our method to the cool Dynamic FAUST dataset which contains sequences of real humans performing various actions.
