# Overview
This repository contains the materials presented in the paper
[Synthetic Driver Image Generation for Human Pose-Related Tasks]().
We provide scripts and guidance to generate your own images along with a link to download our 200k driver images dataset.
# Installation
## Requirements
#### Blender
This script has been developed and ran using Blender 3.2.0. Blender can be donwloaded [here](https://www.blender.org/download/).
#### MakeHuman
Human models were generated using [MakeHuman Community](http://www.makehumancommunity.org/content/downloads.html). We used a modified skeleton rig that you can find in the `mh_models/` directory of this repo. Once MakeHuman is installed, copy the two "blender.*" files in `MAKEHUMAN-COMMUNITY-ROOT\makehuman\data\rigs`.
We also highly recommand to install [MassProduce](http://www.makehumancommunity.org/content/plugins.html) plugin to generate rapidely several models.
## Models
#### Human models
To generate human models using MakeHuman, first set:
- in Files > Export : Mesh format = Makehuman Exchange (.mhx2), Scale Units = meter
Then, you can either mannualy modified your model or use MassProduce in the Community tab after setting all the random parameters, and export it as MHX2.
By default, you should place the mhx2 files in `mh_models/exports` and the associated texture files in `mh_models/exports/textures`.
#### Cars models
You can use 3D car models you got. Car models should be imported in an empty Blender file, with its location and rotation set to 0 and a real-size scale.
The origin of the model should be placed on the driver since it will be used to place the driver. You can set an Empty Arrows object as the parent in Blender to achieve this goal, like below :
Furthermore, you can add empty meshes such as cylinders or cubes to force the hand to be placed inside or outside. To do this, rename them "IN_..." or "OUT_...". We recommand placing a "OUT_" cylinder around the wheel, and a "IN_" box to delimit the inside of the car cockpit.
Finally, you can put target for the wrists that will be used for the manual poses. To do this, place Empty Arrows in the desired location and rotatio, with the name "Target_R_..." or "Target_L_...", such as:
