If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to raise the issue or contact my email wanzhexiong@mail.nwpu.edu.cn

Requirements

The code has been tested with PyTorch 1.12.1 and Cuda 11.7.

Pretrained Weights

Pretrained weights can be downloaded from Google Drive.

Please put them into the checkpoint folder.

Evaluation

To evaluate our model, you need first download the HDF5 files version of MVSEC datasets.

data/MVSEC_HDF5
├── indoor_flying
│   ├── indoor_flying1_data.hdf5
│   ├── indoor_flying1_gt.hdf5
│   ├── indoor_flying2_data.hdf5
│   ├── indoor_flying2_gt.hdf5
│   ├── indoor_flying3_data.hdf5
│   ├── indoor_flying3_gt.hdf5
├── outdoor_day
│   ├── outdoor_day1_data.hdf5
│   ├── outdoor_day1_gt.hdf5
│   ├── outdoor_day2_data.hdf5
│   ├── outdoor_day2_gt.hdf5

After the environment is configured and the pretrained weights is downloaded, run the following command to get the consistent results as reported in the paper.

python main.py --task test --stage mvsec --checkpoint ./checkpoint/DCEIFlow_paper.pth

The results reported in our paper are simulated with esim_py. We also provide another pretrained model using a new simulator, DVS-Voltmeter, thanks for this open source project. It improves the performance on Chairs and Sintel, while MVSEC is basically unchanged. We recommend using the updated model because of better generalization performance.

python main.py --task test --stage mvsec --checkpoint ./checkpoint/DCEIFlow.pth

Training

To train our model, you need to download the FlyingChairs2 datasets and simulate the events corresponding to every two frames.

data/FlyingChairs2
├── train
├── val
├── events_train
├── events_val

The simulated events are stored in HDF5 format with name ******-event.hdf5. Please refer to the read_event_h5() function in utils/file_io.py.

After completing the simulation, you can run the following command to start the training.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0," python main.py --task train --stage chairs2 --isbi --model DCEIFlow --batch_size 4 --epoch 200 --lr 0.0004 --weight_decay 0.0001 --loss_gamma=0.80 --name DCEIFlow

If our work or code helps you, please cite our paper.

If our code is very useful for your new research, I hope you can also open source your code including training.
