Exploiting Spatial-temporal Relationships for 3D Pose Estimation via Graph Convolutional Networks

This is the code for the paper ICCV 2019 Exploiting Spatial-temporal Relationships for 3D Pose Estimation via Graph Convolutional Networks in Pytorch.

Dependencies

• cuda 9.0
• Python 3.6
• Pytorch 0.4.1.

Dataset setup

CPN 2D detections for Human3.6 M datasets are provided by VideoPose3D by Pavllo etal., which can be downloaded by:

cd data
wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/video-pose-3d/data_2d_h36m_cpn_ft_h36m_dbb.npz
wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/video-pose-3d/data_2d_h36m_detectron_ft_h36m.npz
cd ..

3D labels and ground truth can be downloaded and put in data/ folder 3d gt labels

Download pretrained model

Pretrained models can be found in pretrained models, pls download it and put in the ckpt/ dictory(create it if it does not exist)

Test the Model

To test on Human3.6M on single frame, run:

python main_graph.py --pad 0 --show_protocol2 --post_refine --stgcn_reload 1 --post_refine_reload 1 --previous_dir '/ckpt/1_frame/cpn/' --stgcn_model 'model_st_gcn_36_eva_post_5062.pth' --post_refine_model 'model_post_refine_36_eva_post_5062.pth' 

To test on Human3.6M on 3-frames, run:

python main_graph.py --pad 1 --show_protocol2 --post_refine --stgcn_reload 1 --post_refine_reload 1 --previous_dir '/ckpt/3_frame/cpn/' --stgcn_model 'model_st_gcn_58_eva_post_4903.pth' --post_refine_model 'model_post_refine_58_eva_post_4903.pth' 

Train the Model

To train on Human3.6M with 3-frame, run:

python main_graph.py --pad 1 --pro_train 1 --save_model 1

After training for several epoches, add post_refine part

python main_graph.py --pad 1 --pro_train 1 --post_refine --save_model 1 --learning_rate 1e-5 --sym_penalty 1 --co_diff 1  --stgcn_reload 1  --previous_dir [your model saved path] --stgcn_model [your pretrained model]
