💃💃💃 Abstract

TL;DR: We tune the text-to-image model (e.g., stable diffusion) to generate the character videos from pose and text description.

CLICK for full abstract

Generating text-editable and pose-controllable character videos have an imperious demand in creating various digital human. Nevertheless, this task has been restricted by the absence of a comprehensive dataset featuring paired video-pose captions and the generative prior models for videos. In this work, we design a novel two-stage training scheme that can utilize easily obtained datasets (i.e., image pose pair and pose-free video) and the pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) model to obtain the pose-controllable character videos. Specifically, in the first stage, only the keypoint-image pairs are used only for a controllable textto-image generation. We learn a zero-initialized convolutional encoder to encode the pose information. In the second stage, we finetune the motion of the above network via a pose-free video dataset by adding the learnable temporal self-attention and reformed cross-frame self-attention blocks. Powered by our new designs, our method successfully generates continuously pose-controllable character videos while keeps the editing and concept composition ability of the pre-trained T2I model. The code and models will be made publicly available.

💃💃💃 HuggingFace Demo

🎤🎤🎤 Todo

• Release the code, config and checkpoints for teaser
• Colab
• Hugging face gradio demo
• Release more applications

🍻🍻🍻 Setup Environment

Our method is trained using cuda11, accelerator and xformers on 8 A100.

conda create -n fupose python=3.8
conda activate fupose

pip install -r requirements.txt

xformers is recommended for A100 GPU to save memory and running time.

Click for xformers installation

We find its installation not stable. You may try the following wheel:

wget https://github.com/ShivamShrirao/xformers-wheels/releases/download/4c06c79/xformers-0.0.15.dev0+4c06c79.d20221201-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl
pip install xformers-0.0.15.dev0+4c06c79.d20221201-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl

Our environment is similar to Tune-A-video (official, unofficial). You may check them for more details.

💃💃💃 Training

We fix the bug in Tune-a-video and finetune stable diffusion-1.4 on 8 A100. To fine-tune the text-to-image diffusion models for text-to-video generation, run this command:

TORCH_DISTRIBUTED_DEBUG=DETAIL accelerate launch \
    --multi_gpu --num_processes=8 --gpu_ids '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7' \
    train_followyourpose.py \
    --config="configs/pose_train.yaml" 

🕺🕺🕺 Inference

Once the training is done, run inference:

TORCH_DISTRIBUTED_DEBUG=DETAIL accelerate launch \
    --gpu_ids '0' \
    txt2video.py \
    --config="configs/pose_sample.yaml" \
    --skeleton_path="./pose_example/vis_ikun_pose2.mov"

You could make the pose video by mmpose , we detect the skeleton by HRNet. You just need to run the video demo to obtain the pose video. Remember to replace the background with black.

💃💃💃 Local Gradio Demo

You could run the gradio demo locally, only need a A100/3090.

python app.py

then the demo is running on local URL: http://0.0.0.0:Port

🕺🕺🕺 Weight

[Stable Diffusion] Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photo-realistic images given any text input. The pre-trained Stable Diffusion models can be downloaded from Hugging Face (e.g., Stable Diffusion v1-4)

[FollowYourPose] We also provide our pretrained checkpoints in Huggingface. you could download them and put them into checkpoints folder to inference our models.
