Demo

FaceForensics

1. Install required dependencies. Here we use Python 3.7.10, Pytorch 1.10.2, etc.
2. Set the paths in the code files if needed. The pretrained model for FaceForensics dataset has released.
3. Run python -u demo/demo_face.py

Youtube-dance

1. Install required dependencies. Here we use Python 3.7.10, Pytorch 1.10.2, etc.
2. Set the paths in the code files if needed. The pretrained model for Youtube-dance dataset has released.
3. Run python -u demo/demo_pose.py

Note that our models are only trained on less than 200 short videos. So they are still hard to be generalized to unseen subjects. The subject videos of example videos we shown are seen, which are from training dataset (Driving videos are still unseen). If you want to apply our model to new subject, please do some fine-tuning. This can be achieved by using our training code to train TS-Net on the new subject with a small learning rate. The following section shows a toy example about how to train TS-Net.

Training TS-Net

The following codes show a toy example about how to train TS-Net. The complete training framework can refer to train_face.py and train_pose.py.

# this code will show a toy example about how to train our model
import torch
from model.TSNet import TSNet

# setting GPU
os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"] = "6"

# our model requires landmark/keypoint labels

# source, i.e., subject videos
# here we make some fake data for illustration
src_img_batch_list = []
src_lbl_batch_list = []
src_bbox_batch_list = []  # bounding box for mask-aware similarity matrix computation
for i in range(3):
    src_img_batch = torch.rand((bs, 3, 256, 256)).cuda()
    src_lbl_batch = torch.randint(low=0, high=2, size=(bs, label_nc, 256, 256)).cuda().to(torch.float32)
    src_bbox_batch = torch.randint(low=0, high=2, size=(bs, 256, 256)).cuda().to(torch.float32)
    src_img_batch_list.append(src_img_batch)
    src_lbl_batch_list.append(src_lbl_batch)
    src_bbox_batch_list.append(src_bbox_batch)

              n_source=3).cuda()

# setting training input
model.set_train_input(src_img_list=src_img_batch_list,
                      src_lbl_list=src_lbl_batch_list,
