TEDWB1k-preview
⚠️ This is the public preview of
initialneil/TEDWB1k. The full dataset (1,431 TED-talk speakers, ~120 GB) is hosted at the gated repo above. This preview repo exists so the HuggingFace Dataset Viewer can render the per-subject thumbnails and tracking grids without going through the gated EULA flow.If you want the full training data (frames + mattes + per-frame SMPL-X / FLAME tracking for all 1,431 subjects), go to the gated main repo, accept the agreement, and use
load_tedwb1k.py.
What's in this preview
This repo is schema-identical to the gated main repo, but the heavy
per-subject data (frames.tar, mattes.tar, tracking pickles) is included
only for the 12 subjects in train_subset_x12 as a working sample. For
the other 1,419 subjects, only the metadata and QC visualizations are
present (so the viewer table still lists all 1,431 entries).
| What | Subjects | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Per-split parquets with embedded source-frame thumbnails | 1,431 | ~210 MB |
metadata/previews/<id>.jpg (1024×1024 source frames) |
1,431 | ~210 MB |
metadata/ehm/<id>.jpg (full-res SMPL-X overlay grids) |
1,431 | ~17.6 GB |
metadata/flame/<id>.jpg (full-res FLAME overlay grids) |
1,431 | ~8.0 GB |
metadata/base/<id>.jpg (full-res PIXIE+Sapiens grids) |
1,431 | ~5.2 GB |
| Per-subject heavy data (frames.tar + mattes.tar + tracking) | 12 | ~540 MB |
| Total preview | ~32 GB |
The HF Dataset Viewer above renders 5 tabs (train, train_subset_x1,
train_subset_x12, train_val, test) with one row per subject, the
per-subject frame and shot counts, and a thumbnail of the first source
frame. Each thumbnail is the actual shots_images/<id>/<first_shot>/000000.jpg
that the tracker consumed.
Quick start
If you only want to play with one of the 12 sample subjects (no agreement required):
pip install huggingface_hub
python -c "
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
snapshot_download(
'initialneil/TEDWB1k-preview',
repo_type='dataset',
allow_patterns='subjects/-2Dj9M71JAc/*',
local_dir='./tedwb1k_x1',
)
"
That gives you tracking pickles + frames.tar + mattes.tar for one
sample subject in a few seconds. To turn it into the 5-file bundle that
HolisticAvatar's
TrackedData expects, use the same load_tedwb1k.py from the main repo:
wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/initialneil/TEDWB1k/raw/main/load_tedwb1k.py
python load_tedwb1k.py --split train_subset_x1 --out ./tedwb1k_x1 \
--repo_id initialneil/TEDWB1k-preview
For the full 1,361-subject training set, request access at the gated main repo.
Per-subject visualizations
Each of the 1,431 subjects has 4 standalone visualization files under
metadata/:
metadata/previews/<id>.jpg— clean 1024×1024 source frame (the first frame of the first shot). Embedded in the parquet preview column too.metadata/ehm/<id>.jpg— full-resolution SMPL-X overlay grid from the final tracking stage (large vertical contact sheet, ~13 MB).metadata/flame/<id>.jpg— FLAME overlay grid from the intermediate face-fitting stage (~6 MB).metadata/base/<id>.jpg— stage-1 PIXIE+Sapiens overlay grid (~4 MB).
You can fetch any single subject's visualization with one
hf_hub_download call:
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
path = hf_hub_download(
'initialneil/TEDWB1k-preview',
'metadata/ehm/05jJodDVJRQ.jpg',
repo_type='dataset',
)
Splits
Same as the main repo:
| Split | Subjects | Notes |
|---|---|---|
train_subset_x1 |
1 | tiny single-subject overfit (⊂ train) |
train_subset_x12 |
12 | small overfit (⊂ train) — the only subjects with downloadable heavy data in this preview |
train_val |
20 | training monitor (⊂ train) |
test |
70 | identity-disjoint evaluation |
train |
1,361 | full training pool |
| total | 1,431 |
train (1,361) and test (70) are identity-disjoint and together cover
all 1,431 subjects. train_subset_x1, train_subset_x12, and train_val
are subsets of train.
Why two repos?
HuggingFace's Dataset Viewer cannot render tabs/thumbnails for gated datasets — the worker that computes split names runs without a user identity and can't satisfy the gating EULA. The full TEDWB1k is gated for TED-content compliance, so to keep the viewer working we mirror the metadata + a 12-subject sample to this public preview repo.
