HP-GAN: Probabilistic 3D human motion prediction via GAN

This repo implements an updated version of the code behind HP-GAN paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.09561).

Dependencies

• Tensorflow 1.8
• h5py
• Pillow
• numpy
• moviepy

Dataset

We used the 3D skeleton data from NTU-RGBD and Human 3.6m dataset to train HP-GAN:

• NTU-RGBD: http://rose1.ntu.edu.sg/datasets/actionrecognition.asp
• Human 3.6m: http://vision.imar.ro/human3.6m/description.php

For Human 3.6m, we used the h5 format and parsing code from https://github.com/una-dinosauria/3d-pose-baseline

Prepare the data

The reader take a CSV file that contain the actual path to the skeleton file, activity ID and subject ID.

To generate those CSV files call the following for ntu dataset:

python split_ntu_data.py -i <path>/nturgb+d_skeletons/ -o <path to your output>

And split_h36m_data.py for human3.6m. Feel free to update the script for your need.

Train

For training simply call train_hpgan.py, the needed parameters are documented.

Here an example:

python train_gan.py -train <path>/train_map.csv -out <path>/results -epochs 10000 -dataset human36m -ccf <path>/cameras.h5 -dnf <path>/data_statistics.h5

Here part of the spewed output during training:

Results

First raw is the ground truth, input is the first 10 poses and the network predict 20 poses. Each row after the first one correspond to a new z value.
