Tensorflow implementation of the SRGAN algorithm for single image super-resolution

Primary LanguagePython

SRGAN-tensorflow

Introduction

This project is a tensorflow implementation of the impressive work Photo-Realistic Single Image Super-Resolution Using a Generative Adversarial Network.
The result is obtained following to same setting from the v5 edition of the paper on arxiv. However, due to limited resources, I train my network on the RAISE dataset which contains 8156 high resoution images captured by good cameras. As the results showed below, the performance is close to the result presented in the paper without using the imagenet training set.
The result on BSD100, Set14, Set5 will be reported later. The code is highly inspired by the pix2pix-tensorflow.

Getting Started

Throughout the project, we denote the directory you cloned the repo as SRGAN-tensorflow_ROOT

  • Run test using pre-trained model

# clone the repository from github
git clone https://github.com/brade31919/SRGAN-tensorflow.git
cd $SRGAN-tensorflow_ROOT/

# Download the pre-trained model from the google-drive
# Go to https://drive.google.com/a/gapp.nthu.edu.tw/uc?id=0BxRIhBA0x8lHNDJFVjJEQnZtcmc&export=download
# Download the pre-trained model to SRGAN-tensorflow/
tar xvf SRGAN_pre-trained.tar

# Run the test mode
sh test_SRGAN.sh

#The result can be viewed at $SRGAN-tensorflow_ROOT/result/images/

  • Run the inference using pre-trained model on your own image

cd $SRGAN-tensorflow_ROOT/

# Download the pre-trained model from the google-drive
# Go to https://drive.google.com/a/gapp.nthu.edu.tw/uc?id=0BxRIhBA0x8lHNDJFVjJEQnZtcmc&export=download
# Download the pre-trained model to SRGAN-tensorflow/
tar xvf SRGAN_pre-trained.tar

# put your png images in the your own directory
# For example
mkdir myImages
# put some images in it

modify the path in inference_SRGAN.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py \
    --output_dir ./result/ \
    --summary_dir ./result/log/ \
    --mode inference \
    --is_training False \
    --task SRGAN \
    --input_dir_LR ./data/myImages/ \        # Modify the path to your image path
    --num_resblock 16 \
    --perceptual_mode VGG54 \
    --pre_trained_model True \
    --checkpoint ./SRGAN_pre-trained/model-200000

# Run the test mode
sh inference_SRGAN.sh

#The result can be viewed at $SRGAN-tensorflow_ROOT/result/images/

  • Run the training process

Data and checkpoint preparation

To run the training process, things will become a little complicated. Follow the steps below carefully!!
Go to the project root directory. Download the vgg weight from TF-silm model

# make the directory to put the vgg19 pre-trained model
mkdir vgg19/
cd vgg19/
wget http://download.tensorflow.org/models/vgg_19_2016_08_28.tar.gz
tar xvf ./vgg19_2016_08_28.tar.gz

Download the training dataset. The dataset contains the 8156 images from the RAISE dataset. I preprocess all the TIFF images into png with 5x downscale as the high-resolution images. The low-resolution image is obtained by 4x downscale of the high-resolution image.
Download the two file from the google drive link:
High-resolution images
Low-resolution images
Put the two .tar files to SRGAN/data/. Go to project root (SRGAN/)

Typically, we need to follow the training process in the paper

  1. Train the SRResnet with 1000000 iterations
  2. [optional] Train the SRGAN with the weights from the generator of SRResnet for 500000 iterations using the MSE loss.
  3. Train the SRGAN with the weights from the generator and discriminator of SRGAN (MSE loss) for 200000 iterations using the VGG54 perceptual loss.

Train SRResnet

Edit the train_SRResnet.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py \  #Set CUDA devices correctly if you use multiple gpu system
    --output_dir ./experiment_SRResnet/ \  #Set the place to put the checkpoint and log. You can put it anywhere you like.
    --summary_dir ./experiment_SRResnet/log/ \
    --mode train \ 
    --is_training True \ 
    --task SRResnet \
    --batch_size 16 \
    --flip True \                        #flip and random_crop are online data augmentation method 
    --random_crop True \
    --crop_size 24 \
    --input_dir_LR ./data/RAISE_LR/ \    #Set the training data path correctly
