# LiteAvatar
We introduce a audio2face model for realtime 2D chat avatar, which can run in 30fps on only CPU devices without GPU acceleration.
## Pipeline
- An efficient ASR model from [modelsope](https://modelscope.cn/models/iic/speech_paraformer-large_asr_nat-zh-cn-16k-common-vocab8404-pytorch) for audio feature extraction.
- A mouth parameter prediction model given audio feature inputs for voice synchronized mouth movement generation.
- A lightweight 2D face generator model for mouth movement rendering, which can also be deployed on mobile devices realizing realtime inference.
## Data Preparation
Get sample avatar data located in `./data/sample_data.zip` and extract to you path
🔥More avatars can be found at [LiteAvatarGallery](https://modelscope.cn/models/HumanAIGC-Engineering/LiteAvatarGallery/summary)
## Installation
We recommend a python version = 3.10 and cuda version = 11.8. Then build environment as follows:
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Inference
```
python lite_avatar.py --data_dir /path/to/sample_data --audio_file /path/to/audio.wav --result_dir /path/to/result
```
The mp4 video result will be saved in the result_dir.
## Interactive demo
The realtime interactive video chat demo powered by our LiteAvatar algorithm is available at [OpenAvatarChat](https://github.com/HumanAIGC-Engineering/OpenAvatarChat)
