Installing VFIformer WebUI

Option 1: Overlay on VFIformer for Use

1. Get VFIformer working on your local system

• See their repo at https://github.com/dvlab-research/VFIformer
• I run locally with:
  • Anaconda 23.1.0
  • Python 3.10.9
  • Torch 1.13.1
  • Cuda 11.7
  • NVIDIA RTX 3090
  • Windows 11

2. Clone this repo in a separate directory and copy all directories/files on top of your working VFIformer installation

• This code makes no changes to their original code (but borrows some) and causes no conflicts with it
• It shouldn't introduce any additional requirements over what VFIformer, Real-ESRGAN and Gradio-App need

3. If it's set up properly, the following command should write a new file images/image1.png using default settings

python interpolate.py

Option 2: Alternate Set Up for Development and Use

1. Get VFIformer working on your local system

• See their repo at https://github.com/dvlab-research/VFIformer
• I run locally with:
  • Anaconda 23.1.0
  • Python 3.10.9
  • Torch 1.13.1
  • Cuda 11.7
  • NVIDIA RTX 3090
  • Windows 11

2. Clone this repo to a directory in which you intend to use this app and/or develop on it
3. Copy the following directories from your working VFIformer installation to this directory:

• dataloader
• models
• pretrained_models
• utils

4. If it's set up properly, the following command should write a new file images/image1.png

python interpolate.py

Important

The Real-ESRGAN plug-in must also be installed to run the application
