Yue Zhang ^\*, Minhao Liu^\*, Zhaokang Chen, Bin Wu^†, Yingjie He, Chao Zhan, Wenjiang Zhou (^*Equal Contribution, ^†Corresponding Author, benbinwu@tencent.com) **[github](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)** **[huggingface](https://huggingface.co/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)** **Project(comming soon)** **Technical report (comming soon)** We introduce `MuseTalk`, a **real-time high quality** lip-syncing model (30fps+ on an NVIDIA Tesla V100). MuseTalk can be applied with input videos, e.g., generated by [MuseV](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseV), as a complete virtual human solution. # Overview `MuseTalk` is a real-time high quality audio-driven lip-syncing model trained in the latent space of `ft-mse-vae`, which 1. modifies an unseen face according to the input audio, with a size of face region of `256 x 256`. 1. supports audio in various languages, such as Chinese, English, and Japanese. 1. supports real-time inference with 30fps+ on an NVIDIA Tesla V100. 1. supports modification of the center point of the face region proposes, which **SIGNIFICANTLY** affects generation results. 1. checkpoint available trained on the HDTF dataset. 1. training codes (comming soon). # News - [04/02/2024] Released MuseTalk project and pretrained models. ## Model ![Model Structure](assets/figs/musetalk_arc.jpg) MuseTalk was trained in latent spaces, where the images were encoded by a freezed VAE. The audio was encoded by a freezed `whisper-tiny` model. The architecture of the generation network was borrowed from the UNet of the `stable-diffusion-v1-4`, where the audio embeddings were fused to the image embeddings by cross-attention. ## Cases ### MuseV + MuseTalk make human photos alive！

* For video dubbing, we applied a self-developed tool which can detect the talking person. # TODO: - [x] trained models and inference codes. - [ ] technical report. - [ ] training codes. - [ ] online UI. - [ ] a better model (may take longer). # Getting Started We provide a detailed tutorial about the installation and the basic usage of MuseTalk for new users: ## Installation To prepare the Python environment and install additional packages such as opencv, diffusers, mmcv, etc., please follow the steps below: ### Build environment We recommend a python version >=3.10 and cuda version =11.7. Then build environment as follows: ```shell pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### whisper install whisper to extract audio feature (only encoder) ``` pip install --editable ./musetalk/whisper ``` ### mmlab packages ```bash pip install --no-cache-dir -U openmim mim install mmengine mim install "mmcv>=2.0.1" mim install "mmdet>=3.1.0" mim install "mmpose>=1.1.0" ``` ### Download ffmpeg-static Download the ffmpeg-static and ``` export FFMPEG_PATH=/path/to/ffmpeg ``` for example: ``` export FFMPEG_PATH=/musetalk/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static ``` ### Download weights You can download weights manually as follows: 1. Download our trained [weights](https://huggingface.co/TMElyralab/MuseTalk). 2. Download the weights of other components: - [sd-vae-ft-mse](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse) - [whisper](https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/main/whisper/models/65147644a518d12f04e32d6f3b26facc3f8dd46e5390956a9424a650c0ce22b9/tiny.pt) - [dwpose](https://huggingface.co/yzd-v/DWPose/tree/main) - [face-parse-bisent](https://github.com/zllrunning/face-parsing.PyTorch) - [resnet18](https://download.pytorch.org/models/resnet18-5c106cde.pth) Finally, these weights should be organized in `models` as follows: ``` ./models/ ├── musetalk │ └── musetalk.json │ └── pytorch_model.bin ├── dwpose │ └── dw-ll_ucoco_384.pth ├── face-parse-bisent │ ├── 79999_iter.pth │ └── resnet18-5c106cde.pth ├── sd-vae-ft-mse │ ├── config.json │ └── diffusion_pytorch_model.bin └── whisper └── tiny.pt ``` ## Quickstart ### Inference Here, we provide the inference script. ``` python -m scripts.inference --inference_config configs/inference/test.yaml ``` configs/inference/test.yaml is the path to the inference configuration file, including video_path and audio_path. The video_path should be either a video file or a directory of images. #### Use of bbox_shift to have adjustable results :mag_right: We have found that upper-bound of the mask has an important impact on mouth openness. Thus, to control the mask region, we suggest using the `bbox_shift` parameter. Positive values (moving towards the lower half) increase mouth openness, while negative values (moving towards the upper half) decrease mouth openness. You can start by running with the default configuration to obtain the adjustable value range, and then re-run the script within this range. For example, in the case of `Xinying Sun`, after running the default configuration, it shows that the adjustable value rage is [-9, 9]. Then, to decrease the mouth openness, we set the value to be `-7`. ``` python -m scripts.inference --inference_config configs/inference/test.yaml --bbox_shift -7 ``` :pushpin: More technical details can be found in [bbox_shift](assets/BBOX_SHIFT.md). #### Combining MuseV and MuseTalk As a complete solution to virtual human generation, you are suggested to first apply [MuseV](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseV) to generate a video (text-to-video, image-to-video or pose-to-video) by referring [this](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseV?tab=readme-ov-file#text2video). Then, you can use `MuseTalk` to generate a lip-sync video by referring [this](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseTalk?tab=readme-ov-file#inference). # Note If you want to launch online video chats, you are suggested to generate videos using MuseV and apply necessary pre-processing such as face detection in advance. During online chatting, only UNet and the VAE decoder are involved, which makes MuseTalk real-time. # Acknowledgement 1. We thank open-source components like [whisper](https://github.com/isaacOnline/whisper/tree/extract-embeddings), [dwpose](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/DWPose), [face-alignment](https://github.com/1adrianb/face-alignment), [face-parsing](https://github.com/zllrunning/face-parsing.PyTorch), [S3FD](https://github.com/yxlijun/S3FD.pytorch). 1. MuseTalk has referred much to [diffusers](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers). 1. MuseTalk has been built on `HDTF` datasets. Thanks for open-sourcing! # Limitations - Resolution: Though MuseTalk uses a face region size of 256 x 256, which make it better than other open-source methods, it has not yet reached the theoretical resolution bound. We will continue to deal with this problem. If you need higher resolution, you could apply super resolution models such as [GFPGAN](https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN) in combination with MuseTalk. - Identity preservation: Some details of the original face are not well preserved, such as mustache, lip shape and color. - Jitter: There exists some jitter as the current pipeline adopts single-frame generation. # Citation ```bib @article{musetalk, title={MuseTalk: Real-Time High Quality Lip Synchorization with Latent Space Inpainting}, author={Zhang, Yue and Liu, Minhao and Chen, Zhaokang and Wu, Bin and He, Yingjie and Zhan, Chao and Zhou, Wenjiang}, journal={arxiv}, year={2024} } ``` # Disclaimer/License 1. `code`: The code of MuseTalk is released under the MIT License.
