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

Run on FloydHub

  • 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.
