Instructions:

Testing (Inference)

  1. Please download the code from https://github.com/xmfbit/flownet2 or https://github.com/lmb-freiburg/flownet2 and follow the instructions there to compile the code. (You can also build the flownet2 docker to run PWC-Net https://github.com/lmb-freiburg/flownet2-docker)
  2. Put warp_layer.cu and warp_layer.cpp (in ./warping_code) to src/caffe/layers and warp_layer.hpp (in ./warping_code) to include/caffe/layers, recompile.
  3. Run python ./proc_images.py [img1.txt img2.txt out.txt]. Please compare your results with ./tmp/reference_frame_0010_forward.flo and ./tmp/reference_frame_0011_backward.flo.
  4. [TOO ADD] Modify the code and data directory in run_rob_test.py (lines 17-21); make sure that the ROB test images are in your disk.

The program assumes that images to process are of the same size.

Benchmarking time

Please modify the caffe directory below

KITTI resolution YOUR_DIRECTORY/flownet2/build/tools/caffe.bin time -model ./benchmark_time/pwc_net_1280_384_batch1.tpl.prototxt -weights ./model/pwc_net.caffemodel -iterations 100 -gpu 0;

Middlebury "Urban" resolution (accounting for the x2 image resizing) YOUR_DIRECTORY/flownet2/build/tools/caffe.bin time -model ./benchmark_time/pwc_net_1280_960_batch1.tpl.prototxt -weights ./model/pwc_net.caffemodel -iterations 100 -gpu 0;

Sintel resolution YOUR_DIRECTORY/flownet2/build/tools/caffe.bin time -model ./benchmark_time/pwc_net_1024_448_batch1.tpl.prototxt -weights ./model/pwc_net.caffemodel -iterations 100 -gpu 0;

HD1K resolution (requires a GPU with 16G+ memory, such as NVIDIA Tesla Volta 100) YOUR_DIRECTORY/flownet2/build/tools/caffe.bin time -model ./benchmark_time/pwc_net_2560_1088_batch1.tpl.prototxt -weights ./model/pwc_net.caffemodel -iterations 100 -gpu 0;

Training

1.Please download the FlyingChairs dataset from https://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/resources/datasets, make the LMDB file, modify the local directory in ./model/train.prototxt. 2.Modify the local directory in ./train.py and Run ./train.py

Generating Caffe protocols from PyCaffe

Please go to ./model/PyCaffe and run ./make_model.py. You need to specify the lmdb_file and split_list to your local directories. You can follow pwc_net_utils.py to define new models.

Method description

The model here is PWC-Net with a larger feature pyramid extractor (PWC-Net-feature-uparrow, second row in Table5(a) of Our CVPR 2018 paper below).
