# FastDVDnet
A state-of-the-art, simple and fast network for Deep Video Denoising which uses no motion compensation.
Oral presentation at CVPR2020. [CVPR publication page](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_CVPR_2020/html/Tassano_FastDVDnet_Towards_Real-Time_Deep_Video_Denoising_Without_Flow_Estimation_CVPR_2020_paper.html)
Previous deep video denoising algorithm: [DVDnet](https://github.com/m-tassano/dvdnet)
## Overview
This source code provides a PyTorch implementation of the FastDVDnet video denoising algorithm, as in
Tassano, Matias and Delon, Julie and Veit, Thomas. ["FastDVDnet: Towards Real-Time Deep Video Denoising Without Flow Estimation", arXiv preprint arXiv:1907.01361 (2019).](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.01361)
## Datasets and Video Examples
You can download several denoised sequences with our algorithm and other methods [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i3lxo4E8j4f_VsEq54BUMF8znNrXdNAo?usp=sharing "FastDVDnet denoised sequences") and [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18WbOFqM8uSnZ-yvWocWQo2KmBM7ZUMiI?usp=sharing "FastDVDnet denoised sequences, other")
### Trainset
The 2017 DAVIS dataset was used for training.
You can find a list with the names of the 480p sequences employed [here](https://gist.github.com/m-tassano/27c1ef00ca42a8e50c2cee8a4205e559).
The dataloader needs the sequences in mp4 format. You can find the converted .mp4 files under the _training_ folder [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RIFJ3inlnxKAo8B5VjDFicUwp_XsWKpj?usp=sharing "FastDVDnet denoised sequences").
Note: when converting the sequences one has to pay particular attention to the 'crf' and 'keyint' ffmpeg parameters to avoid strong compression. For the code to convert the image sequences see this [gist](https://gist.github.com/m-tassano/0536391eb79d63864e5005ea4da88243)
### Testsets
Two testsets are used in the paper: _Set8_ and the [_2017 DAVIS testset_](https://data.vision.ee.ethz.ch/csergi/share/davis/DAVIS-2017-test-dev-480p.zip).
_Set8_ is composed of 8 sequences: 4 sequences from the _Derf 480p_ testset ("tractor", "touchdown", "park_joy", "sunflower") plus other 4 540p sequences. You can find these under the _test_sequences_ folder [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11chLkbcX-oKGLOLONuDpXZM2-vujn_KD?usp=sharing "FastDVDnet denoised sequences").
## Running Times
FastDVDnet is orders of magnitude faster than other state-of-the-art methods
## Results
Left: Input noise sigma 40 denoised with FastDVDnet (sorry about the dithering due to gif compression)
Right: PSNRs on the DAVIS testset, Gaussian noise and clipped Gaussian noise
## Architecture
## Code User Guide
### Colab example
You can use this [Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1dPxlXPYgxanU-pgY4KOGsrCwSNo4IwBn?usp=sharing) to replicate the results
### Dependencies
The code runs on Python +3.6. You can create a conda environment with all the dependecies by running
```
conda env create -f requirements.yml -n
```
NOTE: the code was updated to support a newer version of the DALI library. For the original version of the algorithm which supported pytorch=1.0.0 and nvidia-dali==0.10.0 you can see this [release](https://github.com/m-tassano/fastdvdnet/releases/tag/v0.1)
### Testing
If you want to denoise an image sequence using the pretrained model you can execute
```
test_fastdvdnet.py \
--test_path \
--noise_sigma 30 \
--save_path results
```
**NOTES**
* The image sequence should be stored under
* The model has been trained for values of noise in [5, 55]
* run with *--no_gpu* to run on CPU instead of GPU
* run with *--save_noisy* to save noisy frames
* set *max_num_fr_per_seq* to set the max number of frames to load per sequence
* to denoise _clipped AWGN_ run with *--model_file model_clipped_noise.pth*
* run with *--help* to see details on all input parameters
### Training
DISCLAIMER: The weights shared in this repo were trained with a previous DALI version, v0.10.0, and pytorch v1.0.0. The training code was later updated to work with a more recent version of DALI. However, it has been reported that the perfomance obtained with this newer DALI version is not as good as the original one, see https://github.com/m-tassano/fastdvdnet/issues/51 for more details.
If you want to train your own models you can execute
```
train_fastdvdnet.py \
--trainset_dir \
--valset_dir \
--log_dir logs
```
**NOTES**
* As the dataloader in based on the DALI library, the training sequences must be provided as mp4 files, all under
* The validation sequences must be stored as image sequences in individual folders under
* run with *--help* to see details on all input parameters
