1. Requirement

• Install Torch with cuDNN support.
• Install matio by luarocks install matio
• Install OpenCV-Torch by luarocks install cv
• Install display server by luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/szym/display/master/display-scm-0.rockspec
• Download SURREAL
• Download valid Index

Tested on Unbuntu 16.04 with cuda v8 and cudNN v5.1. .

2. Download SURREAL dataset and Index files

There are 4 major data files in each sequence in SURREAL

<sequenceName>_c%04d.mp4 
<sequenceName>_c%04d_depth.mat
<sequenceName>_c%04d_segm.mat
<sequenceName>_c%04d_info.mat 

For our training purpose, you only need to download the <sequenceName>_c%04d.mp4 mp4 files and <sequenceName>_c%04d_info.mat files

We notice that some sequences only partially contain the human body or even not at all in original surreal which is not sutiable for our reposing purpose. Our logic is simple, if we don't even observe the human body, we can by no means repose it. So our strategy is direct, only keep the frame number with fully observed human. Please download valid frame index generated by us and copy them (test, train, val volder) directly to the original surreal folder structure under cmu/..

3. Path settings

Dataset path

Set the dataset root.

Set the datasetname.

In our case, <dataseRoot>/cmu

Experiment path

Set your experiment root by -logRoot

Set your experiment name by -dirName

All models and generated results will be saved here

Sample path

We provide a few samples from different domains including real human, paitings and sculptures located in folder samples. You can provide your own source location by setting -genFd option

4. Training

We provide an example of training a model with cGAN configuration by

th main.lua -dirName <your_experiment_id> -cGAN

For customized settings, please set opts.lua accordingly or pass in by command lines.

5. Testing

You can repose the provided samples by

th main.lua -epochNumber <yourEpochNum + 1> -flgGenFd -dirName <your_model_nm>

You can download our pretrained model with 2 layer discriminator GPM_MP_D2 with 50 epoches In this case: 'th main.lua -epochNumber 51 -flgGenFd -dirName GPM_MP_D2'

6. Evaluation

We provide the inner space preserving evaluation of first 100 images of SURREAL in validation set:

th main.lua -dirName GPM7 -epochNumber 51 -ifTsRMS

For human pose estimation, please download the stacked-hour-glass. Then evaluate the pose estimation result on reposed humans against the ground truth that employed during reposing.
