Getting started

EgoAllo requires Python 3.12 or newer.

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/brentyi/egoallo.git

2. Install general dependencies.

   cd egoallo
   pip install -e .

3. Download+unzip model checkpoint and sample data.

   bash download_checkpoint_and_data.sh

   You can also download the zip files manually: here are links to the checkpoint and example trajectories.

4. Download the SMPL-H model file.

   You can find the "Extended SMPL+H model" from the MANO project webpage. Our scripts assumes an npz file located at ./data/smplh/neutral/model.npz, but this can be overridden at the command-line (--smplh-npz-path {your path}).

5. Visualize model outputs.

   The example trajectories directory includes example outputs from our model. You can visualize them with:

   python 4_visualize_outputs.py --search-root-dir ./egoallo_example_trajectories

Running inference

1. Installing inference dependencies.

   Our guidance optimization uses a Levenberg-Marquardt optimizer that's implemented in JAX. If you want to run this on an NVIDIA GPU, you'll need to install JAX with CUDA support:

   # Also see: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
   pip install -U "jax[cuda12]"

   You'll also need jaxls:

   pip install git+https://github.com/brentyi/jaxls.git

2. Running inference on example data.

   Here's an example command for running EgoAllo on the "coffeemachine" sequence:

   python 3_aria_inference.py --traj-root ./egoallo_example_trajectories/coffeemachine

   You can run python 3_aria_inference.py --help to see the full list of options.

3. Running inference on your own data.

   To run inference on your own data, you can copy the structure of the example trajectories. The key files are:

   • A VRS file from Project Aria, which contains calibrations and images.
   • SLAM outputs from Project Aria's MPS: closed_loop_trajectory.csv and semidense_points.csv.gz.
   • (optional) HaMeR outputs, which we save to a hamer_outputs.pkl.
   • (optional) Project Aria wrist and palm tracking outputs.

4. Running HaMeR on your own data.

   To generate the hamer_outputs.pkl file, you'll need to install hamer_helper.

   Then, as an example for running on our coffeemachine sequence:

   python 2_run_hamer_on_vrs.py --traj-root ./egoallo_example_trajectories/coffeemachine

Status

This repository currently contains:

• egoallo package, which contains reference training and sampling implementation details.
• Training script.
• Model checkpoints.
• Dataset preprocessing script.
• Inference script.
• Visualization script.
• Setup instructions.

While we've put effort into cleaning up our code for release, this is research code and there's room for improvement. If you have questions or comments, please reach out!
