Dataset

Image files for training should be placed in the correct structure inside the datasets folder. The structure should be like this:

datasets
│   aracati.py    
│
└───aracati
    │
    └───test
    │   │
    │   └─── input
    │   │    │   test_00000.png
    │   │    │   test_00001.png
    │   │    │   ...
    │   │
    │   └─── gt
    │        │   real_00000.png
    │        │   real_00001.png
    │        │   ...
    |
    └───train
    │   │
    │   └─── input
    │   │    │   train_00000.png
    │   │    │   train_00001.png

Below is a download link for the ARACATI 2017 dataset used in the papers, if you use it, please cite one of the following (or both):

Executing

To train a new neural network, just run the following comamnd:

 $ python main.py

You can configure execution with the following commands:

--mode: Choose one from: evaluate, restore or train.
--name: Name of the folder to store the files of the experiment.
--weights_file: Weights for the VGG16 network.
--batch_size: Batch size to use for the network.
--gen_filters: Parameter that scales the size of the network.
--input_channels: Number of channels in the input images.
--image_height: Height of the images to run through the network.
--image_width: Width of the images to run through the network.
--max_to_keep: Maximum number of checkpoints to keep.
--num_epochs: Number of epochs to execute the network for.
--output_channels: Number of channels in the output images.
--learning_rate: Initial learning rate for the optimizer.

Visualizing

After you've executed the script to train the neural network, it will print the tensorboard command you need to use to visualize the network as it's training. Example below:

$ tensorboard --logdir='/home/nautec/Documents/Projects/son2sat/executions/2019-04-16_22:08/summary'
