Cinemo: Consistent and Controllable Image Animation with Motion Diffusion Models
This repo contains pre-trained weights for our paper exploring image animation with motion diffusion models (Cinemo). You can find more visualizations on our project page.
In this project, we propose a novel method called Cinemo, which can perform motion-controllable image animation with strong consistency and smoothness. To improve motion smoothness, Cinemo learns the distribution of motion residuals, rather than directly generating subsequent frames. Additionally, a structural similarity index-based method is proposed to control the motion intensity. Furthermore, we propose a noise refinement technique based on discrete cosine transformation to ensure temporal consistency. These three methods help Cinemo generate highly consistent, smooth, and motion-controlled image animation results. Compared to previous methods, Cinemo offers simpler and more precise user control and better generative performance.
News
- (π₯ New) Jun. 2, 2024. π₯ The inference code is released. The checkpoint can be found here.
Setup
First, download and set up the repo:
git clone https://github.com/maxin-cn/Cinemo
cd Cinemo
We provide an environment.yml
file that can be used to create a Conda environment. If you only want
to run pre-trained models locally on CPU, you can remove the cudatoolkit
and pytorch-cuda
requirements from the file.
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate cinemo
Animation
You can sample from our pre-trained Cinemo models with animation.py
. Weights for our pre-trained Cinemo model can be found here. The script has various arguments to adjust sampling steps, change the classifier-free guidance scale, etc:
bash pipelines/animation.sh
Other Applications
You can also utilize Cinemo for other applications, such as motion transfer and video editing:
bash pipelines/video_editing.sh
Acknowledgments
Cinemo has been greatly inspired by the following amazing works and teams: LaVie and SEINE, we thank all the contributors for open-sourcing.
