MemFlow: Optical Flow Estimation and Prediction with Memory
Qiaole Dong, Yanwei Fu
CVPR 2024

Requirements

conda create --name memflow python=3.8
conda activate memflow
conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install yacs loguru einops timm==0.4.12 imageio matplotlib tensorboard scipy opencv-python h5py tqdm

For training the model, you should further install the FlashAttention.

Models

We provide pretrained models. The default path of the models for evaluation is:

├── ckpts
    ├── MemFlowNet_things.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_sintel.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_kitti.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_spring.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_T_things.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_T_things_kitti.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_T_sintel.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_T_kitti.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_P_things.pth
    ├── MemFlowNet_P_sintel.pth

Demos

Download models and put them in the ckpts folder. Run the following command:

python -u inference.py --name MemFlowNet --stage sintel --restore_ckpt ckpts/MemFlowNet_sintel.pth --seq_dir demo_input_images --vis_dir demo_flow_vis

Note: you can change the _CN.val_decoder_depth of configs/sintel_memflownet.py from 15 to smaller numbers for better speed and performance trade-off as in Fig. 1.

Required Data

To evaluate/train MatchFlow, you will need to download the required datasets.

By default our codes will search for the datasets in these locations. You can create symbolic links to wherever the datasets were downloaded in the datasets folder

├── datasets
    ├── Sintel
        ├── test
        ├── training
    ├── KITTI
        ├── testing
        ├── training
        ├── devkit
    ├── FlyingThings3D
        ├── frames_cleanpass
        ├── frames_finalpass
        ├── optical_flow
    ├── spring
        ├── test
        ├── training
        ├── flow_subsampling

Evaluation

Please download the models to ckpts folder. Then you can evaluate the provided model using following script:

bash evaluate.sh

Training

We used the following training schedule in our paper (2 A100/A6000 GPUs). Training logs will be written to the logs which can be visualized using tensorboard.

bash train.sh
