# Setup: Data, Environment, PyTorch Demo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/andreas128/SRFlow.git && cd SRFlow && ./setup.sh
```
This oneliner will:
- Clone SRFlow
- Setup a python3 virtual env
- Install the packages from `requirements.txt`
- Download the pretrained models
- Download the DIV2K validation data
- Run the Demo Jupyter Notebook
If you want to install it manually, read the `setup.sh` file. (Links to data/models, pip packages)
# Demo: Try Normalizing Flow in PyTorch
```bash
./run_jupyter.sh
```
This notebook lets you:
- Load the pretrained models.
- Super-resolve images.
- Measure PSNR/SSIM/LPIPS.
- Infer the Normalizing Flow latent space.
# Testing: Apply the included pretrained models
```bash
source myenv/bin/activate # Use the env you created using setup.sh
cd code
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1 python test.py ./confs/SRFlow_DF2K_4X.yml # Diverse Images 4X (Dataset Included)
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1 python test.py ./confs/SRFlow_DF2K_8X.yml # Diverse Images 8X (Dataset Included)
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1 python test.py ./confs/SRFlow_CelebA_8X.yml # Faces 8X
```
For testing, we apply SRFlow to the full images on CPU.
# Training: Reproduce or train on your Data
The following commands train the Super-Resolution network using Normalizing Flow in PyTorch:
```bash
source myenv/bin/activate # Use the env you created using setup.sh
cd code
python train.py -opt ./confs/SRFlow_DF2K_4X.yml # Diverse Images 4X (Dataset Included)
python train.py -opt ./confs/SRFlow_DF2K_8X.yml # Diverse Images 8X (Dataset Included)
python train.py -opt ./confs/SRFlow_CelebA_8X.yml # Faces 8X
```
- To reduce the GPU memory, reduce the batch size in the yml file.
- CelebA does not allow us to host the dataset. A script will follow.
### How to prepare CelebA?
**1. Get HD-CelebA-Cropper**
```git clone https://github.com/LynnHo/HD-CelebA-Cropper```
**2. Download the dataset**
`img_celeba.7z` and `annotations.zip` as desribed in the [Readme](https://github.com/LynnHo/HD-CelebA-Cropper).
**3. Run the crop align**
```python3 align.py --img_dir ./data/data --crop_size_h 640 --crop_size_w 640 --order 3 --face_factor 0.6 --n_worker 8```
**4. Downsample for GT**
Use the [matlablike kernel](https://github.com/fatheral/matlab_imresize) to downscale to 160x160 for the GT images.
**5. Downsample for LR**
Downscale the GT using the Matlab kernel to the LR size (40x40 or 20x20)
**6. Train/Validation**
For training and validation, we use the corresponding sets defined by CelebA (Train: 000001-162770, Validation: 162771-182637)
**7. Pack to pickle for training**
`cd code && python prepare_data.py /path/to/img_dir`
# Dataset: How to train on your own data
The following command creates the pickel files that you can use in the yaml config file:
```bash
cd code
python prepare_data.py /path/to/img_dir
```
The precomputed DF2K dataset gets downloaded using `setup.sh`. You can reproduce it or prepare your own dataset.
# Our paper explains
- **How to train Conditional Normalizing Flow**
We designed an architecture that archives state-of-the-art super-resolution quality.
- **How to train Normalizing Flow on a single GPU**
We based our network on GLOW, which uses up to 40 GPUs to train for image generation. SRFlow only needs a single GPU for training conditional image generation.
- **How to use Normalizing Flow for image manipulation**
How to exploit the latent space for Normalizing Flow for controlled image manipulations
- **See many Visual Results**
Compare GAN vs Normalizing Flow yourself. We've included a lot of visuals results in our [[Paper]](https://bit.ly/2D9cN0L).
# GAN vs Normalizing Flow - Blog
[](https://bit.ly/2EdJzhy)
- **Sampling:** SRFlow outputs many different images for a single input.
- **Stable Training:** SRFlow has much fewer hyperparameters than GAN approaches, and we did not encounter training stability issues.
- **Convergence:** While GANs cannot converge, conditional Normalizing Flows converge monotonic and stable.
- **Higher Consistency:** When downsampling the super-resolution, one obtains almost the exact input.
