Features

DIGIT estimates the 3D poses of two interacting hands from a single RGB image. This repo provides the training, evaluation, and demo code for the project in PyTorch Lightning.

Updates

Sept. 29, 2024: Part segmentation in terms of vertex ids in [vertex_segments_right_seal.json]
March 30 2022: meta_*.pkl can be downloaded here
November 25 2021: Initial repo with training and evaluation on PyTorch Lightning 0.9.

Getting started

Instructions here

Training and evaluating

To train DIGIT, run the command below. The script runs at a batch size of 64 using accumulated gradient where each iteration is on a batch size 32:

python train.py --iter_batch 32 --batch_size 64 --gpu_ids 0 --trainsplit train --precision 16 --eval_every_epoch 2 --lr_dec_epoch 40 --max_epoch 50 --min_epoch 50

OR if you just want to do a sanity check you can run:

python train.py --iter_batch 32 --batch_size 64 --gpu_ids 0 --trainsplit minitrain --valsplit minival --precision 16 --eval_every_epoch 1 --max_epoch 50 --min_epoch 50

Each time you run train.py, it will create a new experiment under logs and each experiment is assigned a key.

Supposed your experiment key is 2e8c5136b, you can evaluate the last epoch of the model on the test set by:

python test.py --eval_on minitest --load_ckpt logs/2e8c5136b/model_dump/last.ckpt

python test.py --eval_on test --load_ckpt logs/2e8c5136b/model_dump/last.ckpt

The former only does the evaluation 1000 images for a sanity check.

Similarly, you can evaluate on the validation set:

python test.py --eval_on val --load_ckpt logs/2e8c5136b/model_dump/last.ckpt

Visualizing and evaluating pre-trained DIGIT

Here we provide instructions to show qualitative results of DIGIT.

Download pre-trained DIGIT:

wget https://dataset.ait.ethz.ch/downloads/dE6qPPePCV/db7cba8c1.pt
mv db7cba8c1.pt saved_models

Visualize results:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python demo.py --eval_on minival --load_from saved_models/db7cba8c1.pt  --num_workers 0

Evaluate pre-trained digit:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test.py --eval_on test --load_from saved_models/db7cba8c1.pt --precision 16
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test.py --eval_on val --load_from saved_models/db7cba8c1.pt --precision 16

You should have the same results as in here.

The results will be dumped to ./visualization.
