[ICCV 2021] GyroFlow: Gyroscope-Guided Unsupervised Optical Flow Learning

This is the official implementation of our ICCV2021 paper GyroFlow. We also provide a PyTorch version, check at GyroFlow-PyTorch

Abstract

Existing optical flow methods are erroneous in challenging scenes, such as fog, rain, and night because the basic optical flow assumptions such as brightness and gradient constancy are broken. To address this problem, we present an unsupervised learning approach that fuses gyroscope into optical flow learning. Specifically, we first convert gyroscope readings into motion fields named gyro field. Second, we design a self-guided fusion module to fuse the background motion extracted from the gyro field with the optical flow and guide the network to focus on motion details. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first deep learning-based framework that fuses gyroscope data and image content for optical flow learning. To validate our method, we propose a new dataset that covers regular and challenging scenes. Experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-art methods in both regular and challenging scenes.

Dependencies

• MegEngine==1.6.0
• Other requirements please refer torequirements.txt.

Data Preparation

2021.11.15: We release the GOF_Train V1 that contains 2000 samples.

2022.06.22: We release the PyTorch Version, welcome to have a try.

2023.07.28: Please check to GyroFlow-PyTorch for Data Preparation

Training and Evaluation

Training

To train the model, you can just run:

python train.py --model_dir experiments

Evaluation

Load the pretrained checkpoint and run:

python evaluate.py --model_dir experiments --restore_file experiments/val_model_best.pkl

We've updated the GOF (both trainset and testset), so the performance is a little bit different from the results reported in our paper.

MegEngine checkpoint can be download via [Google Drive].
