First you need to clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/yc4ny/SMPL-Fitting.git
cd SMPL-Fitting

This code has been tested on Python 3.7, Pytorch 1.7.1, CUDA 11.0. We recommend creating a virtual environment for this repository. You can use conda:

conda create -n smplfitting python==3.7

Then, you need to install Pytorch according to your CUDA version and GPU requriements. This is for CUDA 11.0, but you can adapt accordingly:

pip install torch==1.7.1+cu110 torchvision==0.8.2+cu110 torchaudio==0.7.2 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

Then, you can install the rest of the dependencies with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You must preprocess your data to match the input format. The code will take a .npy file as input containing an array of shape $(N \times J \times 3)$, where $N$ is the number of frames in the sequence, $J$ the number of joints in the 3D Keypoint data. For example, if there is a $(500 \times 24 \times 3)$ array given as input, in the data there are $24 \times 3D$ Joints per frame and $500$ frames in total. Put all the processed .npy files in a single folder, it will be used for the --dataset_dir flag in the demo.

You need to have a configs.json file. There is configs/3DPW.json file that I have used for fitting the 3DPW dataset. Make a copy of the file, change the name NAME and PATH according to your data. Make sure to change the DATA_MAP for mapping index of the joints of the data you wish to fit with the original SMPL keypoints.

To perform fitting, you can run:

python fit.py --dataset_name {name of the data} --dataset_dir {directory of the preprocessed .npy files}

• Add 3DPW Dataset Fitting
• Add MANO for accurate hand fitting
