Python API

from pathlib import Path
import tensorflow as tf
from tf_bodypix.api import download_model, load_model, BodyPixModelPaths

# setup input and output paths
output_path = Path('./data/example-output')
output_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
input_url = (
    'https://www.dropbox.com/s/7tsaqgdp149d8aj/serious-black-businesswoman-sitting-at-desk-in-office-5669603.jpg?dl=1'
)
local_input_path = tf.keras.utils.get_file(origin=input_url)

# load model (once)
bodypix_model = load_model(download_model(
    BodyPixModelPaths.MOBILENET_FLOAT_50_STRIDE_16
))

# get prediction result
image = tf.keras.preprocessing.image.load_img(local_input_path)
image_array = tf.keras.preprocessing.image.img_to_array(image)
result = bodypix_model.predict_single(image_array)

# simple mask
mask = result.get_mask(threshold=0.75)
tf.keras.preprocessing.image.save_img(
    f'{output_path}/output-mask.jpg',
    mask
)

# colored mask (separate colour for each body part)
colored_mask = result.get_colored_part_mask(mask)
tf.keras.preprocessing.image.save_img(
    f'{output_path}/output-colored-mask.jpg',
    colored_mask
)

# poses
from tf_bodypix.draw import draw_poses  # utility function using OpenCV

poses = result.get_poses()
image_with_poses = draw_poses(
    image_array.copy(),  # create a copy to ensure we are not modifing the source image
    poses,
    keypoints_color=(255, 100, 100),
    skeleton_color=(100, 100, 255)
)
tf.keras.preprocessing.image.save_img(
    f'{output_path}/output-poses.jpg',
    image_with_poses
)

CLI

CLI Help

python -m tf_bodypix --help

or

python -m tf_bodypix <sub command> --help

List Available Models

python -m tf_bodypix list-models

The result will be a list of all of the bodypix TensorFlow JS models available in the tfjs-models bucket.

Those URLs can be passed as the --model-path arguments below, or to the download_model method of the Python API.

The CLI will download and cache the model from the provided path. If no --model-path is provided, it will use a default model (mobilenet).

To list TensorFlow Lite models instead:

python -m tf_bodypix list-tflite-models

Inputs and Outputs

Most commands will work with inputs (source) and outputs.

The source path can be specified via the --source parameter.

The following inputs are supported:

type description
image Static image (e.g. .png)
video Video (e.g. .mp4)
webcam Linux Webcam (/dev/videoN or webcam:0)

If the source path points to an external file (e.g. https://), then it will be downloaded and locally cached.

The output path can be specified via --output, unless --show-output is used.

The following outpus are supported:

type description
image_writer Write to a static image (e.g. .png)
v4l2 Linux Virtual Webcam (/dev/videoN)
window Display a window (by using --show-output)

TensorFlow Lite Model support (experimental)

The model path may also point to a TensorFlow Lite model (.tflite extension). Whether that actually improves performance may depend on the platform and available hardware.

You could convert one of the available TensorFlow JS models to TensorFlow Lite using the following command:

python -m tf_bodypix \
    convert-to-tflite \
    --model-path \
    "https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/savedmodel/bodypix/mobilenet/float/075/model-stride16.json" \
    --optimize \
    --quantization-type=float16 \
    --output-model-file "./mobilenet-float-multiplier-075-stride16-float16.tflite"

The above command is provided for convenience. You may use alternative methods depending on your preference and requirements.

TensorFlow Lite Runtime support (experimental)

This project can also be used with tflite-runtime instead of full TensorFlow (e.g. by using the tflite extra). However, TensorFlow Lite converter would require full TensorFlow. In order to avoid it, one needs to use a TensorFlow Lite model (see previous section).

Docker Usage

You could also use the Docker image if you prefer. The entrypoint will by default delegate to the CLI, except for python or bash commands.

# pull latest image (you may also use tags)
docker pull de4code/tf-bodypix
# mount real and virtual webcam devices on linux
docker run --rm \
    --device /dev/video0 \
    --device /dev/video2 \
    de4code/tf-bodypix \
    blur-background \
    --source /dev/video0 \
    --output /dev/video2 \
    --background-blur 20 \
    --threshold=0.75
# mount x11 display on linux
docker run --rm \
    --net=host \
    --volume /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    --volume ${HOME}/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority \
    --env DISPLAY \
    de4code/tf-bodypix \
    replace-background \
    --source \
    "https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7jga3f0dreavlb/video-of-a-man-laughing-and-happy-1608393-360p.mp4?dl=1" \
    --background \
    "https://www.dropbox.com/s/b22ss59j6pp83zy/brown-landscape-under-grey-sky-3244513.jpg?dl=1" \
    --show-output \
    --threshold=0.75 \
    --mask-blur=5
