EasyMocap is an open-source toolbox for markerless human motion capture and novel view synthesis from RGB videos. In this project, we provide a lot of motion capture demos in different settings.

News

• :tada: Our SIGGRAPH 2022 Novel View Synthesis of Human Interactions From Sparse Multi-view Videos is released! Check the documentation.
• :tada: EasyMocap v0.2 is released! We support motion capture from Internet videos. Please check the Quick Start for more details.

Core features

Multiple views of a single person

This is the basic code for fitting SMPL[^loper2015]/SMPL+H[^romero2017]/SMPL-X[^pavlakos2019]/MANO[^romero2017] model to capture body+hand+face poses from multiple views.

Internet video

This part is the basic code for fitting SMPL[^loper2015] with 2D keypoints estimation[^cao2018][^hrnet] and CNN initialization[^kolotouros2019].

ZJU-MoCap

With our proposed method, we release two large dataset of human motion: LightStage and Mirrored-Human. See the website for more details.

If you would like to download the ZJU-Mocap dataset, please sign the agreement, and email it to Qing Shuai (s_q@zju.edu.cn) and cc Xiaowei Zhou (xwzhou@zju.edu.cn) to request the download link.

<sup>Mirrored-Human: collected from the Internet</sup>

Many works have achieved wonderful results based on our dataset:

• Real-time volumetric rendering of dynamic humans
• CVPR2022: HumanNeRF: Free-viewpoint Rendering of Moving People from Monocular Video
• ECCV2022: KeypointNeRF: Generalizing Image-based Volumetric Avatars using Relative Spatial Encoding of Keypoints
• SIGGRAPH 2022 paper Drivable Volumetric Avatars using Texel-Aligned Features

Acknowledgements

Here are the great works this project is built upon:

• SMPL models and layer are from MPII SMPL-X model.
• Some functions are borrowed from SPIN, VIBE, SMPLify-X
• The method for fitting 3D skeleton and SMPL model is similar to SMPLify-X(with 3D keypoints loss), TotalCapture(without using point clouds).
• We integrate some easy-to-use functions for previous great work:
• easymocap/estimator/mediapipe_wrapper.py: MediaPipe
• easymocap/estimator/SPIN : an SMPL estimator[^cao2018]
• easymocap/estimator/YOLOv4: an object detector[^kolotouros2019]
• easymocap/estimator/HRNet : a 2D human pose estimator[^bochkovskiy2020]
