flownet2-pytorch
Pytorch implementation of FlowNet 2.0: Evolution of Optical Flow Estimation with Deep Networks.
FlowNet2 Caffe implementation : flownet2
Multiple GPU training is supported, and the code provides examples for training or inference on MPI-Sintel clean and final datasets. The same commands can be used for training or inference with other datasets. See below for more detail.
Inference using fp16 (half-precision) is also supported.
For more help, type
python main.py --help
Network architectures
Below are the different flownet neural network architectures that are provided.
A batchnorm version for each network is available.
- FlowNet2S
- FlowNet2C
- FlowNet2CS
- FlowNet2CSS
- FlowNet2SD
- FlowNet2
Custom layers
FlowNet2
or FlowNet2C*
achitectures rely on custom layers Resample2d
or Correlation
.
A pytorch implementation of these layers with cuda kernels are available at ./networks.
Note : Currently, half precision kernels are not available for these layers.
Data Loaders
Dataloaders for FlyingChairs, FlyingThings, ChairsSDHom and ImagesFromFolder are available in datasets.py.
Loss Functions
L1 and L2 losses with multi-scale support are available in losses.py.
