Optimal Configurations for Enhanced Hand Gesture Control & Fast Animation

[Ahmed-Ezzat20]

Hello UniAnimate Team @wangxiang1230 @Steven-SWZhang ,

First of all, thank you for the amazing work on UniAnimate! I am interested in using the model to generate human animations with a specific focus on precise hand gesture control and a faster animation. Could you kindly advise on the best configurations and setups for achieving these goals?

Goals:

• Enhanced Hand Gesture Control: Ensuring that hand movements and gestures are accurately captured and preserved throughout the animation sequence without the minimum possible artifacts.

• Faster Animation: when I tried working on the project, I always get output seems like slow motion, so is there a reason for that or can I do post processing to enhance the result.

P.S: I am using Local GPU RTX 4060ti 16G GPU memory

Thank you very much for your assistance. Looking forward to your guidance to make the most out of UniAnimate.

Hi @Ahmed-Ezzat20 , thanks for your attention. For Enhanced Hand Gesture Control, you can try to finetune our model on more cleaner videos without motion blur or increasing the resolution of the inference to 1216x768 can also improve a bit. For faster animation, you can change:

UniAnimate/configs/UniAnimate_infer.yaml

[2, "data/images/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00004955-01_4_full.jpg", "data/saved_pose/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00004955-01_4_full"],

to:
[4, "data/images/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00004955-01_4_full.jpg", "data/saved_pose/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00004955-01_4_full"], where "2" and "4" mean the sampling interval.

Thank you @wangxiang1230 for your insights; they’re incredibly helpful! I’m interested in exploring the training process further for this model, especially regarding Enhanced Hand Gesture Control. Could you provide any additional guidance on the steps required to train the model from scratch or fine-tune it effectively? Specifically, any recommendations on the dataset requirements or preprocessing steps to enhance gesture accuracy and fluidity in the animations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for your support!

Hi, you can try to collect as much data as possible, such as more than 1000 videos with a resolution of at least 768x512 and the background is not moving, the face is clear, and the fingers are clear. Then finetuning on our model, we may see some improvement. Thanks for your attention. If you obtain better results, we can also help you to incorporate your model to our repo.
