AniPortrait: Audio-Driven Synthesis of Photorealistic Portrait Animations

Author: Huawei Wei, Zejun Yang, Zhisheng Wang

Organization: Tencent Games Zhiji, Tencent

Here we propose AniPortrait, a novel framework for generating high-quality animation driven by
audio and a reference portrait image. You can also provide a video to achieve face reenacment.

Updates / TODO List

• ✅ [2024/03/27] Now our paper is available on arXiv.

• ✅ [2024/03/27] Update the code to generate pose_temp.npy for head pose control.

• ✅ [2024/04/02] Update a new pose retarget strategy for vid2vid. Now we support substantial pose difference between ref_image and source video.

• ✅ [2024/04/03] We release our Gradio demo on HuggingFace Spaces (thanks to the HF team for their free GPU support)!

• ✅ [2024/04/07] Update a frame interpolation module to accelerate the inference process. Now you can add -acc in inference commands to get a faster video generation.

• ✅ [2024/04/21] We have released the audio2pose model and pre-trained weight for audio2video. Please update the code and download the weight file to experience.

Installation

Build environment

We recommend a python version >=3.10 and cuda version =11.7. Then build environment as follows:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download weights

All the weights should be placed under the ./pretrained_weights direcotry. You can download weights manually as follows:

1. Download our trained weights, which include the following parts: denoising_unet.pth, reference_unet.pth, pose_guider.pth, motion_module.pth, audio2mesh.pt, audio2pose.pt and film_net_fp16.pt. You can also download from wisemodel.

2. Download pretrained weight of based models and other components:

   • StableDiffusion V1.5
   • sd-vae-ft-mse
   • image_encoder
   • wav2vec2-base-960h

Finally, these weights should be orgnized as follows:

./pretrained_weights/
|-- image_encoder
|   |-- config.json
|   `-- pytorch_model.bin
|-- sd-vae-ft-mse
|   |-- config.json
|   |-- diffusion_pytorch_model.bin
|   `-- diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors
|-- stable-diffusion-v1-5
|   |-- feature_extractor
|   |   `-- preprocessor_config.json
|   |-- model_index.json
|   |-- unet
|   |   |-- config.json
|   |   `-- diffusion_pytorch_model.bin
|   `-- v1-inference.yaml
|-- wav2vec2-base-960h
|   |-- config.json
|   |-- feature_extractor_config.json
|   |-- preprocessor_config.json
|   |-- pytorch_model.bin
|   |-- README.md
|   |-- special_tokens_map.json
|   |-- tokenizer_config.json
|   `-- vocab.json
|-- audio2mesh.pt
|-- audio2pose.pt
|-- denoising_unet.pth
|-- film_net_fp16.pt
|-- motion_module.pth
|-- pose_guider.pth
`-- reference_unet.pth

Note: If you have installed some of the pretrained models, such as StableDiffusion V1.5, you can specify their paths in the config file (e.g. ./config/prompts/animation.yaml).

Gradio Web UI

You can try out our web demo by the following command. We alse provide online demo in Huggingface Spaces.

python -m scripts.app

Inference

Kindly note that you can set -L to the desired number of generating frames in the command, for example, -L 300.

Acceleration method: If it takes long time to generate a video, you can download film_net_fp16.pt and put it under the ./pretrained_weights direcotry. Then add -acc in the command.

Here are the cli commands for running inference scripts:

Self driven

python -m scripts.pose2vid --config ./configs/prompts/animation.yaml -W 512 -H 512 -acc

You can refer the format of animation.yaml to add your own reference images or pose videos. To convert the raw video into a pose video (keypoint sequence), you can run with the following command:

python -m scripts.vid2pose --video_path pose_video_path.mp4

Face reenacment

python -m scripts.vid2vid --config ./configs/prompts/animation_facereenac.yaml -W 512 -H 512 -acc

Add source face videos and reference images in the animation_facereenac.yaml.

Audio driven

python -m scripts.audio2vid --config ./configs/prompts/animation_audio.yaml -W 512 -H 512 -acc

Add audios and reference images in the animation_audio.yaml.

Delete pose_temp in ./configs/prompts/animation_audio.yaml can enable the audio2pose model.

You can also use this command to generate a pose_temp.npy for head pose control:

python -m scripts.generate_ref_pose --ref_video ./configs/inference/head_pose_temp/pose_ref_video.mp4 --save_path ./configs/inference/head_pose_temp/pose.npy

Training

Data preparation

Download VFHQ and CelebV-HQ

Extract keypoints from raw videos and write training json file (here is an example of processing VFHQ):

python -m scripts.preprocess_dataset --input_dir VFHQ_PATH --output_dir SAVE_PATH --training_json JSON_PATH

Update lines in the training config file:

data:
  json_path: JSON_PATH

Stage1

Run command:

accelerate launch train_stage_1.py --config ./configs/train/stage1.yaml

Stage2

Put the pretrained motion module weights mm_sd_v15_v2.ckpt (download link) under ./pretrained_weights.

Specify the stage1 training weights in the config file stage2.yaml, for example:

stage1_ckpt_dir: './exp_output/stage1'
stage1_ckpt_step: 30000 

Run command:

accelerate launch train_stage_2.py --config ./configs/train/stage2.yaml
