Demo

Scripts

I mainly modified the inference_webcam.py script to use along with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). An example of how to use this script is provided in run.sh.

 

Compute remotely matting

I added a proof of concept to offload matting on another computer using the Bidirectional Mode from vidgear. You can see more here.

A Compute Node is a computer with a GPU and a Client is a computer with a webcam. The computer node process the image coming from the webcam and send it back to this computer.

You need to adjust IP address in the compute_node.py and client.py.

Server part :

python compute_node.py --model-backbone-scale 0.25 --model-type mattingrefine --model-backbone resnet50 --model-checkpoint pytorch_resnet50.pth

Client part :

python client.py
