This is an official repository of Generating 3D Faces using Convolutional Mesh Autoencoders
This code is tested on Tensorflow 1.3. Requirements (including tensorflow) can be installed using:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Install mesh processing libraries from MPI-IS/mesh.
Install OpenDR via this link: https://github.com/mattloper/opendr
Download the data from the Project Page.
Preprocess the data
python processData.py --data <PATH_OF_RAW_DATA> --save_path <PATH_TO_SAVE_PROCESSED DATA>
Data pre-processing creates numpy files for the interpolation experiment and extrapolation experiment (Section X of the paper).
This creates 13 different train and test files.
sliced_[train|test]
is for the interpolation experiment.
<EXPRESSION>_[train|test]
are for cross validation cross 12 different expression sequences.
To train, specify a name, and choose a particular train test split. For example,
python main.py --data data/sliced --name sliced
To test, specify a name, and data. For example,
python main.py --data data/sliced --name sliced --mode test
Run the following script. The models are slightly better (~1% on average) than ones reported in the paper.
sh generateErrors.sh
To sample faces from the latent space, specify a model and data. For example,
python main.py --data data/sliced --name sliced --mode latent
A face template pops up. You can then use the keys qwertyui
to sample faces by moving forward in each of the 8 latent dimensions. Use asdfghjk
to move backward in the latent space.
For more flexible usage, refer to lib/visualize_latent_space.py.
