## Introduction 📖
This repo, named **LivePortrait**, contains the official PyTorch implementation of our paper [LivePortrait: Efficient Portrait Animation with Stitching and Retargeting Control](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.03168).
We are actively updating and improving this repository. If you find any bugs or have suggestions, welcome to raise issues or submit pull requests (PR) 💖.

## Getting Started 🏁
### 1. Clone the code and prepare the environment
```bash
git clone https://github.com/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait
cd LivePortrait

# create env using conda
conda create -n LivePortrait python==3.9
conda activate LivePortrait

# install dependencies with pip
# for Linux and Windows users
pip install -r requirements.txt
# for macOS with Apple Silicon users
pip install -r requirements_macOS.txt
```

**Note:** make sure your system has [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) installed, including both `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe`!

### 2. Download pretrained weights

The easiest way to download the pretrained weights is from HuggingFace:
```bash
# first, ensure git-lfs is installed, see: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage
git lfs install
# clone and move the weights
git clone https://huggingface.co/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait temp_pretrained_weights
mv temp_pretrained_weights/* pretrained_weights/
rm -rf temp_pretrained_weights
```

Alternatively, you can download all pretrained weights from [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UtKgzKjFAOmZkhNK-OYT0caJ_w2XAnib) or [Baidu Yun](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1MGctWmNla_vZxDbEp2Dtzw?pwd=z5cn). Unzip and place them in `./pretrained_weights`.

Ensuring the directory structure is as follows, or contains:
```text
pretrained_weights
├── insightface
│   └── models
│       └── buffalo_l
│           ├── 2d106det.onnx
│           └── det_10g.onnx
└── liveportrait
    ├── base_models
    │   ├── appearance_feature_extractor.pth
    │   ├── motion_extractor.pth
    │   ├── spade_generator.pth
    │   └── warping_module.pth
    ├── landmark.onnx
    └── retargeting_models
        └── stitching_retargeting_module.pth
```

### 3. Inference 🚀

#### Fast hands-on
```bash
# For Linux and Windows
python inference.py

# For macOS with Apple Silicon, Intel not supported, this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090
PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python inference.py
```

If the script runs successfully, you will get an output mp4 file named `animations/s6--d0_concat.mp4`. This file includes the following results: driving video, input image or video, and generated result.

<p align="center">
  <img src="./assets/docs/inference.gif" alt="image">
</p>

Or, you can change the input by specifying the `-s` and `-d` arguments:

```bash
# source input is an image
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4

# source input is a video ✨
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s13.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4

# more options to see
python inference.py -h
```

#### Driving video auto-cropping 📢📢📢
To use your own driving video, we **recommend**: ⬇️
 - Crop it to a **1:1** aspect ratio (e.g., 512x512 or 256x256 pixels), or enable auto-cropping by `--flag_crop_driving_video`.
 - Focus on the head area, similar to the example videos.
 - Minimize shoulder movement.
 - Make sure the first frame of driving video is a frontal face with **neutral expression**.

Below is a auto-cropping case by `--flag_crop_driving_video`:
```bash
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d13.mp4 --flag_crop_driving_video
```

If you find the results of auto-cropping is not well, you can modify the `--scale_crop_driving_video`, `--vy_ratio_crop_driving_video` options to adjust the scale and offset, or do it manually.

#### Motion template making
You can also use the auto-generated motion template files ending with `.pkl` to speed up inference, and **protect privacy**, such as:
```bash
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pkl # portrait animation
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s13.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pkl # portrait video editing
```

### 4. Gradio interface 🤗

We also provide a Gradio <a href='https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio'><img src='https://img.shields.io/github/stars/gradio-app/gradio'></a> interface for a better experience, just run by:

```bash
# For Linux and Windows users (and macOS with Intel??)
python app.py

# For macOS with Apple Silicon users, Intel not supported, this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090
PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python app.py
```

You can specify the `--server_port`, `--share`, `--server_name` arguments to satisfy your needs!

🚀 We also provide an acceleration option `--flag_do_torch_compile`. The first-time inference triggers an optimization process (about one minute), making subsequent inferences 20-30% faster. Performance gains may vary with different CUDA versions.
```bash
# enable torch.compile for faster inference
python app.py --flag_do_torch_compile
```
**Note**: This method is not supported on Windows and macOS.

**Or, try it out effortlessly on [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/spaces/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait) 🤗**

### 5. Inference speed evaluation 🚀🚀🚀
We have also provided a script to evaluate the inference speed of each module:

```bash
# For NVIDIA GPU
python speed.py
```

Below are the results of inferring one frame on an RTX 4090 GPU using the native PyTorch framework with `torch.compile`:

| Model                             | Parameters(M) | Model Size(MB) | Inference(ms) |
|-----------------------------------|:-------------:|:--------------:|:-------------:|
| Appearance Feature Extractor      |     0.84      |       3.3      |     0.82      |
| Motion Extractor                  |     28.12     |       108      |     0.84      |
| Spade Generator                   |     55.37     |       212      |     7.59      |
| Warping Module                    |     45.53     |       174      |     5.21      |
| Stitching and Retargeting Modules |     0.23      |       2.3      |     0.31      |

*Note: The values for the Stitching and Retargeting Modules represent the combined parameter counts and total inference time of three sequential MLP networks.*
