We have setup the world simulator vision since March 2023, believing diffusion models can simulate the world. MuseV was a milestone achieved around July 2023. Amazed by the progress of Sora, we decided to opensource MuseV, hopefully it will benefit the community. Next we will move on to the promising diffusion+transformer scheme.

We will soon release MuseTalk, a real-time high quality lip sync model, which can be applied with MuseV as a complete virtual human generation solution. Please stay tuned!

Overview

MuseV is a diffusion-based virtual human video generation framework, which

supports infinite length generation using a novel Visual Conditioned Parallel Denoising scheme.
checkpoint available for virtual human video generation trained on human dataset.
supports Image2Video, Text2Image2Video, Video2Video.
compatible with the Stable Diffusion ecosystem, including base_model, lora, controlnet, etc.
supports multi reference image technology, including IPAdapter, ReferenceOnly, ReferenceNet, IPAdapterFaceID.
training codes (comming very soon).

In duffy case, pose of the vision condition frame is not aligned with of the first frame of control video. posealign module can solve it.

MuseV has been built on ucf101 and webvid datasets.

Thanks for open-sourcing!

Limitation

There are still many limitations, including

Lack of generalization ability. Some visual condition image perform well, some perform bad. Some t2i pretraied model perform well, some perform bad.
Limited types of video generation and limited motion range, partly because of limited types of training data. The released MuseV has been trained on approximately 60K human text-video pairs with resolution 512*320. MuseV has greater motion range while lower video quality at lower resolution. MuseV tends to generate less motion range with high video quality. Trained on larger, higher resolution, higher quality text-video dataset may make MuseV better.
Watermarks may appear because of webvid. A cleaner dataset withour watermarks may solve this issue.
Limited types of long video generation. Visual Conditioned Parallel Denoise can solve accumulated error of video generation, but the current method is only suitable for relatively fixed camera scenes.
Undertrained referencenet and IP-Adapter, beacause of limited time and limited resources.
Understructured code. MuseV supports rich and dynamic features, but with complex and unrefacted codes. It takes time to familiarize.
