aitviewer - SKEL

This fork of AitViewer enables the vizualization of Marker sequences, OpenSim models sequences, the BSM model and the SKEL model.

This repo contain a visualization tool. If you are interested in the SKEL model code, please refer to the SKEL repository.

For more info on SKEL, BSM and BioaAmass, check our project page and our paper.

aitviewer is a set of tools to visualize and interact with sequences of 3D data with cross-platform support on Windows, Linux, and macOS. See the official page at https://eth-ait.github.io/aitviewer for all the details.

⇧ aitviewer-Skel enables visualization of motion sequences of the SKEL model.

Installation

Clone this repository and install it using:

git clone https://github.com/MarilynKeller/aitviewer-skel.git
cd aitviewer-skel
pip install -e .

To set up the paths to SMPLX and AMASS, please refer to the aitviewer instructions

BSM model

You can download the BSM model bsm.osim from the dowload page at https://skel.is.tue.mpg.de. To visualize it, run:

python load_osim.py --osim /path/to/bsm.osim

You can find motion sequences in the BioAmass dataset at https://skel.is.tue.mpg.de.

To visualize an OpenSim motion sequence:

python load_osim.py --osim /path/to/bsm.osim --mot /path/to/trial.mot

SKEL model

You can download the SKEL model from the dowload page at https://skel.is.tue.mpg.de. Edit then the file aitviewer/aitvconfig.yaml` to point to the SKEL folder: skel_models: "/path/to/skel_models_v1.0"

Install the SKEL loader by following the guidelines here: https://github.com/MarilynKeller/SKEL

Vizualize the SKEL model's shape space:

python examples/load_SKEL.py

Vizualize a SKEL sequence. You can find a sample SKEL motion in skel_models_v1.0/sample_motion/ and the corresponding SMPL motion.

python examples/load_SKEL.py -s 'skel_models_v1.1/sample_motion/01_01_poses_skel.pkl' --z_up

BioAmass Dataset

First download the models and dataset from https://skel.is.tue.mpg.de and in aitconfig.yaml set the following paths:

osim_geometry : /path/to/skel_models_v1.0/Geometry
bioamass : /path/to/bioamass_v1.0

To visualize a sequence from the BioAmass dataset, run:

python examples/load_bioamass.py

Mocap data

We enable loading .c3d and .trc motion capture data. Sample CMU mocap data can be downloaded at http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu/subjects.php. Set the path to the mocap data folder in aitvconfig.yaml in datasets.mocap.

To visualize an example mocap sequence, run:

python load_markers.py
