Deep-HdrReconstruction

Official PyTorch implementation of "Single Image HDR Reconstruction Using a CNN with Masked Features and Perceptual Loss" (SIGGRAPH 2020) Project | Paper

We propose a novel deep learning approach to reconstruct an HDR image by recovering the saturated pixels of a single input LDR image in a visually pleasing way. Our method can reconstruct regions with high luminance, such as the bright highlights of the windows (red inset), and generate visually pleasing textures and details (green insert). For more information on the method please see the project website.

Requirements

This codebase was developed and tested with PyTorch 1.2 and Python 3.6.

Python 3.6+
Pytorch 1.2
torchvision
OpenCV
Numpy
tensorboardX
tqdm
Pillow
pyexr
OpenEXR

pip install -r requirements.txt

You may have to install OpenEXR through the appropriate package manager before pip install (e.g. sudo apt-get install openexr and libopenexr-dev on Ubuntu).

Usage

Pretrained model

The pretrained model checkpoints can be found in the checkpoints folder on Google Drive.

Inference

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python test_hdr.py --test_dir <images/dir> --out_dir <out/dir> --weights <weight/path>.pth

Parameters and their description:

test_dir: input images directory. A few images are avaible on the data/ folder.<br/> out_dir: path to output directory.<br/> weights: path to the trained CNN weights.<br/>
<br/>

If cuda is available, it will be used. In case you want to run the model on cpu, use --cpu when executing test_hdr.py

Jupyter Notebook

We also provide a Jupyter Notebook that guides you through the steps for running the HDR reconstruction model on animage. Open the notebook with the following command:

jupyter notebook hdr_reconstruction.ipynb

Now a web-browser window will open automatically and load the Jupyter notebook. Follow the steps in order to run the model with your own data.

Viewing HDR Images

To visualize HDR images you can use tev, which allows loading several HDR file formats and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. There is also a straightforward online viewer at openhdr.org.
