Reka Inverse Dynamics Model (RIDM)

Two models predict camera motion (W/A/S/D/Shift, yaw, pitch) from video. Both trained on game renders.

Demo

The flow model on a walking tour of Bristol, with frame gap 12. Blue bars show the five keys. The dials show yaw and pitch in degrees. More clips are in assets/: walk-empty-street.mp4, turn-right.mp4 and the failure case failure-walk-key-with-no-walk.mp4. In the failure clip the camera stands still and pans. The model reports the walk key (Shift) at 0.72 to 0.98 in every window.

Which model to use

The flow model has better generalization capabilities to real videos. The pixel model might have a high potential for gaming footage especially if trained further.

Use

pip install -r requirements.txt
hf download RekaAI/Reka-Inverse-Dynamics-Model --local-dir ridm
python ridm/flow/inference.py clip.mp4 --stride 17

• The script prints JSON. Each window has key_probabilities, keys_pressed, yaw_deg and pitch_deg.
• Default settings match game footage. For walking video, run python ridm/flow/inference.py clip.mp4 --config ridm/flow/config_walking.json --stride 49.
• To check your install, run pytest tests/test_smoke.py from the repository root. It runs the sample clip and compares with examples/expected_flow_output.json.
• Each folder runs alone. See flow/README.md and pixel/README.md for details.
• Tested with Python 3.12 and the versions in requirements.txt. Newer versions are untested.

Status: preliminary release. The scores marked † are unconfirmed.

Training data

• Source: 4,071 recorded gaming footage plays, captured at 1,280 x 720 and 48 frames per second.
• Labels: the game engine gives the keys, the mouse movement and the camera angles for every frame. Nobody annotates.
• Flow model: 7,071,037 frame pairs. Pixel model: about 104,000 gameplay windows.
• Both models trained on one NVIDIA L4 GPU.
