## Overview
PyTorch implementation of deep video compression codec.

Currently supported:
- Training interpolation models with different offsets.
- Evaluation on single model (PSNR/MS-SSIM).
- Some ablation study options.

Coming soon:
- Entropy coding.
- Evaluation on combined model.

## Dependency
We conducted experiments in the following environment:
 - Linux
 - Python 3.6.3
 - PyTorch 0.3.0.post4
 - TITAN X GPUs with CuDNN.

Similar environments (e.g. with OSX, Python 2) might work with small modification, but not tested.

## Getting started
We provide a demo training script which trains on 7 clips for 100 iterations, and evaluates on a hold-out clip.
To run the demo, please download the [demo data](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddmjU48TehTk28903cg2mSoLBgkeAcwY/view?usp=sharing),
and run `train.sh 2` (the argument (`0`, `1`, or `2`) specifies the level
of hierarchy).
This will take about 3 minutes.

Expected output:
```

```

Output images with different number of
progression compression iterations
are stored in a directory called `output`.
It starts with the blurry output with 1 iteration:

![silent_cif_0002.png_iter01.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chaoyuaw/pytorch-vcii/master/demo/silent_cif_0002.png_iter01.png)

to the better output with 10 iterations:

![silent_cif_0002.png_iter10.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chaoyuaw/pytorch-vcii/master/demo/silent_cif_0002.png_iter10.png)

Since we've only trained the model for 3 minutes,
the results don't look great yet, but we can see that
it roughly starts to reconstruct the frames.

The final result using full training set will look like:

for more examples.

please see [`DATA.md`](DATA.md) for details and instructions.
