Dependencies

Current version is tested on:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Python==3.7.5
• numpy==1.17
• PyTorch==1.3.1, torchvision==0.4.2, cudatoolkit==10.1

# Easy installation (using Anaconda environment)
conda create -n cain
conda activate cain
conda install python=3.7
conda install pip numpy
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.1 -c pytorch
conda install tqdm opencv tensorboard

Model

Dataset Preparation

• We use Vimeo90K Triplet dataset for training + testing.
  • After downloading the full dataset, make symbolic links in data/ folder :
    • ln -s /path/to/vimeo_triplet_data/ ./data/vimeo_triplet
  • Then you're done!
• For more thorough evaluation, we built SNU-FILM (SNU Frame Interpolation with Large Motion) benchmark.
  • Download links can be found in the project page.
  • Also make symbolic links after download :
    • ln -s /path/to/SNU-FILM_data/ ./data/SNU-FILM
  • Done!

Usage

Training / Testing with Vimeo90K dataset

• First make symbolic links in data/ folder : ln -s /path/to/vimeo_triplet_data/ ./data/vimeo_triplet
  • Vimeo90K dataset
• For training: CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py --exp_name EXPNAME --batch_size 16 --test_batch_size 16 --dataset vimeo90k --model cain --loss 1*L1 --max_epoch 200 --lr 0.0002
• Or, just run ./run.sh
• For testing performance on Vimeo90K dataset, just add --mode test option
• For testing on SNU-FILM dataset, run ./eval.sh
  • Testing mode (choose from ['easy', 'medium', 'hard', 'extreme']) can be modified by changing --test_mode option in eval.sh.

Interpolating with custom video

• Download pretrained models from [Here]
• Prepare frame sequences in data/frame_seq
• run test_custom.sh
