Vietnamese Visual-Audio Dataset

Vietnamese audio-visual landmark dataset designed for talking-face landmark generation. The dataset is curated to support efficient fine-tuning of the pretrained IP-LAP model on Vietnamese speakers.

Note: This dataset does not directly host video files. Instead, video_sources.csv provides the 123 public YouTube source URLs. The full dataset can be automatically downloaded and processed using download_dataset.py.


Dataset Summary

Split Clips Speakers
Train 3,541 ~118
Val 338 ~66
Test 239 ~52
Total 4,118 123

The dataset is constructed from two sources:

  • vilap_dataset: 1,630 clips from the main training set
  • vilap_dataset_extra_10h: 2,488 clips from the extended crawl

The videos are collected from public Vietnamese YouTube sources, including news programs, interviews, and talk shows. Each sample is a short single-speaker clip of approximately 5 seconds, processed at 25 FPS.


Quick Start

# 1. Clone the dataset repository from Hugging Face
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/btlam2002/VAVD
cd VAVD

# 2. Install the required dependencies
pip install yt-dlp mediapipe opencv-python librosa scipy numpy

# 3. Download and process the full dataset
# This automatically downloads videos, cuts clips, extracts faces, landmarks, and audio features
python download_dataset.py --output ./vilap_data

# Or download only the test split for a quick trial (~239 clips)
python download_dataset.py --output ./vilap_data --splits test

# Or process only specific videos
python download_dataset.py --output ./vilap_data --video_ids 3p7dFrIx5bk xwsPD6xiPbI

The download_dataset.py pipeline automatically performs the following steps:

  1. Download videos from YouTube using yt-dlp with a maximum resolution of 720p.
  2. Cut clips into 5-second segments using ffmpeg.
  3. Extract face crops at 128×128 pixels using MediaPipe Face Detection.
  4. Extract landmarks using MediaPipe Face Mesh, including 74 pose landmarks and 57 content landmarks.
  5. Extract audio features, including 16 kHz WAV files and Mel-spectrogram .npy files following the IP-LAP convention.

Landmark Format

Each .npy landmark file contains a Python dictionary and can be loaded with allow_pickle=True.

d = np.load("05_landmark/spk/spk_c0000/0.npy", allow_pickle=True).item()
# d.keys() → ['pose_landmarks', 'content_landmarks']
Field Points Description
pose_landmarks 74 Jaw and upper-face structural landmarks
content_landmarks 57 Lip and lower-face landmarks, including jaw 0:17, outer lip 17:37, and inner lip 37:57

Each landmark is stored as a list of [landmark_id, x, y] triplets, where x and y are normalized to the face crop range [0.0, 1.0].

# Example: read one frame
import numpy as np

d = np.load("frame_0.npy", allow_pickle=True).item()

content = d["content_landmarks"]   # list of [id, x, y], 57 points
pose = d["pose_landmarks"]         # list of [id, x, y], 74 points

# Sort landmarks according to the IP-LAP ori_sequence_idx before feeding them into the model.

Audio Format

Property Value
Sample rate 16,000 Hz
Channels Mono
Mel bands 80
FFT size 800
Hop size 200 samples
Frame rate 25 FPS, aligned with video
# Load Mel-spectrogram
mel = np.load("audio.npy")   # shape: [T_mel_frames, 80]

# Extract a 16-frame Mel window for frame i following the IP-LAP convention
frame_idx = 50
audio_offset = -2           # -4 recommended offset for Vietnamese speech

start = int(80.0 * ((frame_idx + audio_offset) / 25.0))
window = mel[start : start + 16, :]   # shape: [16, 80]

File Lists

The filelists/ directory provides pre-computed train, validation, and test splits.

filelists/

├── val.txt     # 338 clips, 8.2%
└── test.txt    # 239 clips, 5.8%

Each line stores a clip key in the format <speaker_id>/<clip_id>.

Processing New Videos

To generate the dataset from raw videos, use the pipeline provided in scripts/process_vilap_data_pipeline.py.

Step 1: Download or prepare raw .mp4 videos  →  02_clips/
Step 2: Detect and crop faces                →  03_face/
Step 3: Generate sketches, optional           →  04_sketch/
Step 4: Extract MediaPipe landmarks           →  05_landmark/
Step 5: Extract and resample audio            →  06_audio/

Requirements:

  • Python 3.10.2
  • mediapipe
  • librosa
  • opencv-python
  • ffmpeg

For Mel-spectrogram extraction details consistent with IP-LAP, see scripts/preprocess_audio.py.
