x-unet

Implementation of a U-net complete with efficient attention as well as the latest research findings

Install

$ pip install x-unet

Usage

import torch
from x_unet import XUnet

unet = XUnet(
    dim = 64,
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    nested_unet_depths = (7, 4, 2, 1),     # nested unet depths, from unet-squared paper
    consolidate_upsample_fmaps = True,     # whether to consolidate outputs from all upsample blocks, used in unet-squared paper
)

img = torch.randn(1, 3, 256, 256)
out = unet(img) # (1, 3, 256, 256)

For 3d (video or CT / MRI scans)

import torch
from x_unet import XUnet

unet = XUnet(
    dim = 64,
    frame_kernel_size = 3,                 # set this to greater than 1
    channels = 3,
    dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8),
    nested_unet_depths = (5, 4, 2, 1),     # nested unet depths, from unet-squared paper
    consolidate_upsample_fmaps = True,     # whether to consolidate outputs from all upsample blocks, used in unet-squared paper
    weight_standardize = True
)

video = torch.randn(1, 3, 10, 128, 128)    # (batch, channels, frames, height, width)
out = unet(video) # (1, 3, 10, 128, 128)

Todo

• memory efficiency for 3d - reversible blocks, checkpointing, memory efficient unet
• offer option for axial convolutions (placing frame convolutions at end of the resnet chain)
