ParaLip

1. Preparation

Data Preparation

We provide the first frame of each test example for inference. Besides, we include the audio pieces of 5 test examples to generate talking lip videos with human voice.

a) Download and decompress the TCD-TIMIT dataset, then put them in the data directory

tar -xvf timit.tar
mv timit data/

b) Run the following scripts to pack the dataset for inference.

export PYTHONPATH=.
python datasets/lipgen/timit/gen_timit.py --config configs/lipgen/timit/lipgen_timit.yaml

We don't provide the full datasets of TCD-TIMIT because of the licence issue. You can download it by yourself if necessary.

2. Inference Example

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tasks/timit_lipgen_task.py --config configs/lipgen/timit/lipgen_timit.yaml --exp_name timit_2 --infer --reset        

We also provide:

• the pre-trained model of ParaLip on TCD-TIMIT. Remember to put the pre-trained models in checkpoints/timit_2 directory respectively.
