Question about Evaluation code

[zhoutianyang2002]

Hi!
I am trying to run the given demo. I use the dataset person_0004. I have already finished the training. However, when I trying to evaluate the model I encounter an error. what's wrong with it? I am a newbee of computer graphics so it is difficult for me to understand the source code now. Thanks a lot!

Dear Tianyang,

I can help you resolve this problem.

The authors of this repository made a mistake, when you run the eval_splatting_avatar.py, you should organize the checkpoints as follows:

results/output-splatting/last_checkpoint
|---eval_30000
|---image
|---point_cloud
|---config.yaml
|---flame_params.json

the folder last_checkpoint/image should be the same as person004/person004/images,
and you should move person004/person004/flame_params.json to results/output-splatting/last_checkpoint/flame_params.json

Finally you should run the command as follows:
python eval_splatting_avatar.py --config configs/splatting_avatar.yaml --dat_dir results/output-splatting/last_checkpoint --pc_dir results/output-splatting/last_checkpoint/point_cloud/iteration_30000

In addition, the authors didn't provide the landmark_embedding.npy, and I finally find it on https://github.com/yfeng95/DECA/tree/master/data
you can download it from this weblink
