in CVPR 2021

News

  • 2022.03.15 PyTorch version is released

To Do

  • Release test code
  • Prepare paper and upload to arxiv
  • Make project page
  • Release training code
  • Release dataset
  • Release raw data processing code

TL;DR quickstart

To setup a conda environment, test on demo data:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate flashrr-rfc
bash download.sh
python test.py

Setup

Environment

This code is based on tensorflow. It has been tested on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Anaconda is recommended: Ubuntu 18.04 | Ubuntu 16.04

After installing Anaconda, you can setup the environment simply by

conda env create -f environment.yml

Download checkpoint and VGG model

You can download the ckpt and VGG model by

bash download.sh

Quick inference

You can get the results for the demo data by:

python test.py

If you prepare your own dataset, note that each data sample must contains an ambient image and a flash-only iamge:

python test.py --testset /path/to/your/testset

Training

Reproduce our results

First, download the dataset:

bash download_data.sh

Then, you can train a model by

python train.py --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME

Raw data preprocessing

First, download raw images on OneDrive (70MB for each iamge).

Then,

python rawdata_processing.py

Three rgb images will be saved in ./ dir. You can modify the resolutions by yourself in the code.

What is a RFC (Reflection-free Flash-only Cue)?

The reflection-free cue exploits a flash-only image obtained by subtracting the ambient image from the corresponding flash image in raw data space. The flash-only image is equivalent to an image taken in a dark environment with only a flash on. The reflection disappears in this flash-only image.

Please check our Project Page for detailed explanation.
