CoMA: Convolutional Mesh Autoencoders

Generating 3D Faces using Convolutional Mesh Autoencoders

This is an official repository of Generating 3D Faces using Convolutional Mesh Autoencoders

[Project Page][Arxiv]

UPDATE : Thank you for using and supporting this repository over the last two years. This will no longer be maintained. Alternatively, please use:

Requirements

This code is tested on Tensorflow 1.3. Requirements (including tensorflow) can be installed using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install mesh processing libraries from MPI-IS/mesh.

Data

Download the data from the Project Page.

Preprocess the data

python processData.py --data <PATH_OF_RAW_DATA> --save_path <PATH_TO_SAVE_PROCESSED DATA>

Data pre-processing creates numpy files for the interpolation experiment and extrapolation experiment (Section X of the paper). This creates 13 different train and test files. sliced_[train|test] is for the interpolation experiment. <EXPRESSION>_[train|test] are for cross validation cross 12 different expression sequences.

Training

To train, specify a name, and choose a particular train test split. For example,

python main.py --data data/sliced --name sliced

Testing

To test, specify a name, and data. For example,

python main.py --data data/sliced --name sliced --mode test

Reproducing results in the paper

Run the following script. The models are slightly better (~1% on average) than ones reported in the paper.

sh generateErrors.sh

Sampling

To sample faces from the latent space, specify a model and data. For example,

python main.py --data data/sliced --name sliced --mode latent

A face template pops up. You can then use the keys qwertyui to sample faces by moving forward in each of the 8 latent dimensions. Use asdfghjk to move backward in the latent space.

For more flexible usage, refer to lib/visualize_latent_space.py.
