pytorch-liteflownet

This is a personal reimplementation of LiteFlowNet [1] using PyTorch. Should you be making use of this work, please cite the paper accordingly. Also, make sure to adhere to the licensing terms of the authors. Should you be making use of this particular implementation, please acknowledge it appropriately [2].

Paper

For the original Caffe version of this work, please see: https://github.com/twhui/LiteFlowNet
Other optical flow implementations from me: pytorch-pwc, pytorch-unflow, pytorch-spynet

setup

The correlation layer is implemented in CUDA using CuPy, which is why CuPy is a required dependency. It can be installed using pip install cupy or alternatively using one of the provided binary packages as outlined in the CuPy repository. If you would like to use Docker, you can take a look at this pull request to get started.

usage

To run it on your own pair of images, use the following command. You can choose between three models, please make sure to see their paper / the code for more details.

python run.py --model default --one ./images/one.png --two ./images/two.png --out ./out.flo

I am afraid that I cannot guarantee that this reimplementation is correct. However, it produced results pretty much identical to the implementation of the original authors in the examples that I tried. There are some numerical deviations that stem from differences in the DownsampleLayer of Caffe and the torch.nn.functional.interpolate function of PyTorch. Please feel free to contribute to this repository by submitting issues and pull requests.
