Updates

• (2024-07-01) R2-Bench got accepted to ECCV 2024! We are cleaning the remaining code and will release it by the end of July.
• (2024-03-16) We release the preview version of the noise synthesis toolbox!

Instantiated Datasets

For AVS and R-VOS datasets, please use the 'create_noisy_data.py' (with default random seed).

Installation

conda create -n r2bench python=3.9
conda activate r2bench
pip install -r perturbation_toolbox/requirements.txt

Example Usage

augmenter = ModalityAugmentation()
    # Example of using the class for audio
    samples, samplerate = sf.read('data/sample_0.wav')
    samples = samples.transpose()
    for noise_type in augmenter.audio_noise_functions.keys():
        if noise_type == "background_noise":
            samples = stereo_to_mono(samples)
            augmented_samples = augmenter.apply(samples, "audio", noise_type, severity=1, sample_rate=samplerate, background_path='data/sample_0.wav')
            augmented_samples = np.stack([augmented_samples, augmented_samples])
        else:
            augmented_samples = augmenter.apply(samples, "audio", noise_type, sample_rate=samplerate, severity=1)
        sf.write('augmented_samples.wav', augmented_samples.transpose(), samplerate)

    # Example of using the class for image
    image = Image.open('sample.png')
    if image.mode == 'RGBA':
        # Convert to RGB
        image = image.convert('RGB')

    for noise_type in augmenter.image_noise_functions.keys():
        augmented_image = augmenter.apply(image, "image", noise_type, severity=1)
        augmented_image_pil = Image.fromarray(np.uint8(augmented_image))
        augmented_image_pil.save('augmented_image.png')

    # Example of using the class for text
    for noise_type in augmenter.text_noise_functions.keys():
        answer = augmenter.apply("a dog that is running", "text", noise_type, severity=2)
        print(answer)

The example method for apply noisy for data refcoco, davis, Youtube VOS can be seen in create_noist_data.py
