Spatio-Temporal Deformable Convolution for Compressed Video Quality Enhancement (AAAI 2020)

๐Ÿš€ Note: We implement STDF based on MMEditing at PowerQE.

0. Background

PyTorch implementation of Spatio-Temporal Deformable Convolution for Compressed Video Quality Enhancement (AAAI 2020).

  • A simple and effective video quality enhancement network.
  • Adopt feature alignment by multi-frame deformable convolutions, instead of motion estimation and motion compensation.

Notice: The dataset and training method are different from those in the original paper.

1. Pre-request

1.1. Environment

conda create -n stdf python=3.7 -y && conda activate stdf

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/ryanxingql/stdf-pytorch && cd stdf-pytorch/

# given CUDA 10.1
python -m pip install torch==1.6.0+cu101 torchvision==0.7.0+cu101 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

python -m pip install tqdm lmdb pyyaml opencv-python scikit-image

1.2. DCNv2

Build DCNv2

cd ops/dcn/
bash build.sh

Check if DCNv2 works (optional)

python simple_check.py

The DCNv2 source files here is different from the open-sourced version due to incompatibility. [issue]

1.3. MFQEv2 dataset

Download and compress videos

Please check here.

Edit YML

We now edit option_R3_mfqev2_4G.yml.

Suppose the folder MFQEv2_dataset/ is placed at /raid/xql/datasets/MFQEv2_dataset/, then you should assign /raid/xql/datasets/MFQEv2_dataset/ to dataset -> train -> root in YAML.

R3: one of the network structures provided in the paper; mfqev2: MFQEv2 dataset will be adopted; 4G: 4 GPUs will be used for the below training. Similarly, you can also edit option_R3_mfqev2_1G.yml and option_R3_mfqev2_2G.yml if needed.

Generate LMDB

We now generate LMDB to speed up IO during training.

python create_lmdb_mfqev2.py --opt_path option_R3_mfqev2_4G.yml

Now you will get all needed data:

MFQEv2_dataset/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ train_108/
โ”‚   โ”œโ”€โ”€ raw/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ HM16.5_LDP/
โ”‚       โ””โ”€โ”€ QP37/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ test_18/
โ”‚   โ”œโ”€โ”€ raw/
โ”‚   โ””โ”€โ”€ HM16.5_LDP/
โ”‚       โ””โ”€โ”€ QP37/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ mfqev2_train_gt.lmdb/
โ””โ”€โ”€ mfqev2_train_lq.lmdb/

Finally, the MFQEv2 dataset root will be sym-linked to the folder ./data/ automatically.

So that we and programmes can access MFQEv2 dataset at ./data/ directly.

2. Train

See script.sh.

3. Test

Pretrained models can be found here: [Releases] and [็™พๅบฆ็ฝ‘็›˜ (stdf)]

3.1. Test MFQEv2 dataset after training

See script.sh.

3.2. Test MFQEv2 dataset without training

If you did not run create_lmdb for training, you should first sym-link MFQEv2 dataset to ./data/.

mkdir data/
ln -s /your/path/to/MFQEv2_dataset/ data/MFQEv2

Download the pre-trained model, and see script.sh.

3.3. Test your own video

First download the pre-trained model, and then run:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test_one_video.py

See test_one_video.py for more details.

4. Result

5. Q&A

5.1. Vimeo-90K dataset

You should download the Vimeo-90K dataset, convert these PNG sequences into 7-frame YCbCr YUV444P videos, then compress these videos under QP37, All Intra, HM16.5.

We also provide one-click programme at [Releases] and [็™พๅบฆ็ฝ‘็›˜ (stdf)].

The LMDB preparation, option YAML, training and test codes have been already provided in this repository.

5.2. Why the epoch index starts from 0, while the iter index (also model index) starts from 1

Small bug. I may fix it some time.

5.3. How do we enlarge the dataset

Following BasicSR, we set sampling index = target index % dataset len.

For example, if we have a dataset which volume is 4 and enlargement ratio is 2, then we will sample images at indexes equal 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3. Note that at each sampling, we will randomly crop the image. Therefore, the patches cropped at the same image but different times can be different.

Besides, the data loader will be shuffled at the start of each epoch. Enlarging epoch can help reduce the total starting times.

5.4. Why do we set the number of iteration, not epoch

Considering that we can enlarge the dataset with various ratio, the number of epoch is meaningless. In the meanwhile, the number of iteration indicates the number of sampling batches, which is more meaningful to us.
