1. git clone https://github.com/XLearning-SCU/2024-NeurIPS-AverNet.git ./AverNet
2. cd AverNet
3. pip install -r requirement.txt
4. pip install -U openmim (install mmcv) [deformable convolution dependency]
5. mim install mmcv
6. python setup.py develop

1. Download the DAVIS dataset from official webset or Google Drive.
2. Synthesize the low-quality (LQ) videos through scripts/data_preparation/synthesize_datasets.py.

python scripts/data_preparation/synthesize_datasets.py --input_dir 'The root of DAVIS' --output_dir 'LQ roots' --continuous_frames 6

3. Generate meta_info files for the training sets.

This step can be ommited if you use the DAVIS dataset for training since the DAVIS_meta_info.txt file is already generated. (located in basicsr/data/meta_info/DAVIS_meta_info.txt)

python scripts/data_preparation/generate_meta_info.py --dataset_path 'The root of training sets'
# The meta infomation file is automatically saved in `basicsr/data/meta_info/training_meta_info.txt`

The test sets can be downloaded from Google Drive or you can synthesize them through synthesize_datasets.py.

1. Download the pretrained weights of SPyNet and AverNet from Google Drive.
2. Put the SPyNet weights to experiments/pretrained_models/flownet/ and AverNet weights to experiments/pretrained_models/.
3. Modify the option yaml file in options/test/ to begin. Then run the testing.

python basicsr/test.py -opt options/test/test_AverNet_DAVIS_T6.yml

Note that the dataroot_lq and dataroot_gt in the yaml file should be modified to LQ and GT folders of test sets, respectively.

1. Put the SPyNet weights to experiments/pretrained_models/flownet/.
2. Modify the option yaml file in options/train/ to begin. Then run training.

python basicsr/train.py -opt options/train/train_AverNet_DAVIS.yml

Note that the dataroot_lq and dataroot_gt in the yaml file should be modified to LQ and GT folders of training datasets, respectively.

Multiple GPU training: Modify the option yaml file num_gpu and run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node='number of gpus' basicsr/train.py -opt options/train/train_AverNet_DAVIS.yml --launcher pytorch

The codes are based on BasicSR. Thanks the authors for their codes!
