📰 News

• [2024.11.27] 🔥🔥🔥 We have published our report, which provides comprehensive training details and includes additional experiments.
• [2024.11.25] 🔥🔥🔥 We have released our 16-channel WF-VAE-L model along with the training code. Welcome to download it from Huggingface.

😮 Highlights

WF-VAE utilizes a multi-level wavelet transform to construct an efficient energy pathway, enabling low-frequency information from video data to flow into latent representation. This method achieves competitive reconstruction performance while markedly reducing computational costs.

💡 Simpler Architecture, Faster Encoding

• This architecture substantially improves speed and reduces training costs in large-scale video generation models and data processing workflows.

🔥 Competitive Reconstruction Performance with SOTA VAEs

• Our experiments demonstrate competitive performance of our model against SOTA VAEs.

🚀 Main Results

Reconstruction

Efficiency

We conduct efficiency tests at 33-frame videos using float32 precision on an H100 GPU. All models operated without block-wise inference strategies. Our model demonstrated performance comparable to state-of-the-art VAEs while significantly reducing encoding costs.

🛠️ Requirements and Installation

git clone https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/WF-VAE
cd WF-VAE
conda create -n wfvae python=3.10 -y
conda activate wfvae
pip install -r requirements.txt

🤖 Reconstructing Video or Image

To reconstruct a video or an image, execute the following commands:

Video Reconstruction

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python scripts/recon_single_video.py \
    --model_name WFVAE \
    --from_pretrained "Your VAE" \
    --video_path "Video Path" \
    --rec_path rec.mp4 \
    --device cuda \
    --sample_rate 1 \
    --num_frames 65 \
    --height 512 \
    --width 512 \
    --fps 30 \
    --enable_tiling

Image Reconstruction

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python scripts/recon_single_image.py \
    --model_name WFVAE \
    --from_pretrained "Your VAE" \
    --image_path assets/gt_5544.jpg \
    --rec_path rec.jpg \
    --device cuda \
    --short_size 512 

For further guidance, refer to the example scripts: examples/rec_single_video.sh and examples/rec_single_image.sh.
