Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.04622.pdf

1. Create and activate a virtual environment.

   conda create --name occnerf python=3.7 conda activate occnerf

2. Install the required packages as required in HumanNeRF.

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Install PyTorch3D by following its official instructions.

4. Build gridencoder by following the instructions provided in torch-ngp

Download the gender neutral SMPL model from here, and unpack mpips_smplify_public_v2.zip.

Copy the smpl model.

SMPL_DIR=/path/to/smpl
MODEL_DIR=$SMPL_DIR/smplify_public/code/models
cp $MODEL_DIR/basicModel_neutral_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl third_parties/smpl/models

Follow this page to remove Chumpy objects from the SMPL model.

Below we take the subject 387 as a running example.

First, download ZJU-Mocap dataset from here.

Second, modify the yaml file of subject 387 at tools/prepare_zju_mocap/387.yaml. In particular, zju_mocap_path should be the directory path of the ZJU-Mocap dataset.

dataset:
    zju_mocap_path: /path/to/zju_mocap
    subject: '387'
    sex: 'neutral'

...

Finally, run the data preprocessing script.

cd tools/prepare_zju_mocap
python prepare_dataset.py --cfg 387.yaml
cd ../../

Download the preprocessed two sequences used in the paper from here.

To train a model:

python train.py --cfg configs/occnerf/zju_mocap/387/occnerf.yaml

Alternatively, you can update the scripts: in train.sh.

Render the frame input (i.e., observed motion sequence).

python run.py \
    --type movement \
    --cfg configs/occnerf/zju_mocap/387/occnerf.yaml 

Run free-viewpoint rendering on a particular frame (e.g., frame 128).

python run.py \
    --type freeview \
    --cfg configs/occnerf/zju_mocap/387/occnerf.yaml \
    freeview.frame_idx 128

Render the learned canonical appearance (T-pose).

python run.py \
    --type tpose \
    --cfg configs/occnerf/zju_mocap/387/occnerf.yaml 

In addition, you can find the rendering scripts in scripts/zju_mocap.

The implementation is based on HumanNeRF, which took reference from Neural Body, Neural Volume, LPIPS, and YACS. We thank the authors for their generosity to release code.
