DanceNet - Dance generator using Variational Autoencoder, LSTM and Mixture Density Network. (Keras)

Main components:

• Variational autoencoder
• LSTM + Mixture Density Layer

Requirements:

• Python version = 3.5.2

  Packages

  • keras==2.2.0
  • sklearn==0.19.1
  • numpy==1.14.3
  • opencv-python==3.4.1

Dataset

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdSqAAT28v0 This is the video used for training.

How to run locally

• Download the trained weights from here. and extract it to the dancenet dir.
• Run dancegen.ipynb

How to run in your browser

• Click the button above to open this code in a FloydHub workspace (the trained weights dataset will be automatically attached to the environment)
• Run dancegen.ipynb

Training from scratch

• fill dance sequence images labeled as 1.jpg, 2.jpg ... in imgs/ folder
• run model.py
• run gen_lv.py to encode images
• run video_from_lv.py to test decoded video
• run jupyter notebook dancegen.ipynb to train dancenet and generate new video.

dancenet's Issues

can't get a good output

Thank you for sharing~
I have used the pre-training model many times, but can't get a good video. I often get some videos of convulsions and loops.
Does anyone know why?
