This repository contains the code and model weights for our paper (CVPR 2023):

A Light Weight Model for Active Speaker Detection
Junhua Liao, Haihan Duan, Kanghui Feng, Wanbing Zhao, Yanbing Yang, Liangyin Chen

Use the following code to download and preprocess the AVA dataset.

python train.py --dataPathAVA AVADataPath --download 

The AVA dataset and the labels will be downloaded into AVADataPath.

You can train the model on the AVA dataset by using:

python train.py --dataPathAVA AVADataPath

exps/exps1/score.txt: output score file, exps/exp1/model/model_00xx.model: trained model, exps/exps1/val_res.csv: prediction for val set.

Our model weights have been placed in the weight folder. It performs mAP: 94.06% in the validation set. You can check it by using:

python train.py --dataPathAVA AVADataPath --evaluation

The model weights trained on the AVA dataset have been placed in the weight folder. Then run the following code.

python Columbia_test.py --evalCol --colSavePath colDataPath

The Columbia ASD dataset and the labels will be downloaded into colDataPath. And you can get the following F1 result.

We have also provided the model weights fine-tuned on the TalkSet dataset. Due to space limitations, we did not exhibit it in the paper. Run the following code.

python Columbia_test.py --evalCol --pretrainModel weight/finetuning_TalkSet.model --colSavePath colDataPath

And you can get the following F1 result.

You can put the raw video (.mp4 and .avi are both fine) into the demo folder, such as 0001.mp4.

python Columbia_test.py --videoName 0001 --videoFolder demo

By default, the model loads weights trained on the AVA-ActiveSpeaker dataset. If you want to load weights fine-tuned on TalkSet, you can execute the following code.

python Columbia_test.py --videoName 0001 --videoFolder demo --pretrainModel weight/finetuning_TalkSet.model

You can obtain the output video demo/0001/pyavi/video_out.avi, where the active speaker is marked by a green box and the non-active speaker by a red box.

Please cite our paper if you use this code or model weights.
