A Python implementation of the bodypix model.

TensorFlow BodyPix (TF BodyPix)

A Python implementation of body-pix.

Goals of this project is:

• Python library, making it easy to integrate the BodyPix model
• CLI with limited functionality, mostly for demonstration purpose

Install

Install with all dependencies:

pip install tf-bodypix[all]

Install with minimal or no dependencies:

pip install tf-bodypix

Extras are provided to make it easier to provide or exclude dependencies when using this project as a library:

extra name	description
tf	TensorFlow (required). But you may use your own build.
tfjs	TensorFlow JS Model support, using tfjs-graph-converter
image	Image loading via Pillow, required by the CLI.
video	Video support via OpenCV
webcam	Webcam support via OpenCV and pyfakewebcam
all	All of the libraries

Python API

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

bodypix_model = load_model(download_model(
    BodyPixModelPaths.MOBILENET_FLOAT_50_STRIDE_16
))

image = tf.keras.preprocessing.image.load_img(
    '/path/to/input-image.jpg'
)
image_array = tf.keras.preprocessing.image.img_to_array(image)
result = bodypix_model.predict_single(image_array)
mask = result.get_mask(threshold=0.75)
tf.keras.preprocessing.image.save_img(
    '/path/to/output-mask.jpg',
    mask
)

colored_mask = result.get_colored_part_mask(mask)
tf.keras.preprocessing.image.save_img(
    '/path/to/output-colored-mask.jpg',
    colored_mask
)

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).

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 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-float16-stride16.tflite"

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

• TF Lite post_training_quantization
• TF GitHub #40183.

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.

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 \
