## ⚒️ Installation
### Download the Codes

```bash
  git clone https://github.com/antgroup/echomimic_v2
  cd echomimic_v2
```

### Python Environment Setup

- Tested System Environment: Centos 7.2/Ubuntu 22.04, Cuda >= 11.7
- Tested GPUs: A100(80G) / RTX4090D (24G) / V100(16G)
- Tested Python Version: 3.8 / 3.10 / 3.11

Create conda environment (Recommended):

```bash
  conda create -n echomimic python=3.8
  conda activate echomimic
```

Install packages with `pip`
```bash
  pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Download ffmpeg-static
Download and decompress [ffmpeg-static](https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/old-releases/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static.tar.xz), then
```
export FFMPEG_PATH=/path/to/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static
```

### Download pretrained weights

```shell
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/BadToBest/EchoMimic pretrained_weights
```

The **pretrained_weights** is organized as follows.

```
./pretrained_weights/
├── denoising_unet.pth
├── reference_unet.pth
├── motion_module.pth
├── face_locator.pth
├── sd-vae-ft-mse
│   └── ...
├── sd-image-variations-diffusers
│   └── ...
└── audio_processor
    └── whisper_tiny.pt
```

In which **denoising_unet.pth** / **reference_unet.pth** / **motion_module.pth** / **face_locator.pth** are the main checkpoints of **EchoMimic**. Other models in this hub can be also downloaded from it's original hub, thanks to their brilliant works:
- [sd-vae-ft-mse](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse)
- [sd-image-variations-diffusers](https://huggingface.co/lambdalabs/sd-image-variations-diffusers)
- [audio_processor(whisper)](https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/main/whisper/models/65147644a518d12f04e32d6f3b26facc3f8dd46e5390956a9424a650c0ce22b9/tiny.pt)

### Inference on Demo 
Run the python inference script:
```bash
python infer.py --config='./configs/prompts/infer.yaml'
```

### Inference on Your Own Case
**xxxx.ipynb** is a complete demo to generate animation video using the custom reference image, audio, and hand pose driven video.

### EMTD Dataset
Download dataset:
```bash
python ./EMTD_dataset/download.py
```
Slice dataset:
```bash
bash ./EMTD_dataset/slice.sh
```
Process dataset:
```bash
python ./EMTD_dataset/preprocess.py
```
