## Overview
We release the PyTorch code for ColorCNN, a newly introduced architecture in our paper *[Learning to Structure an Image with Few Colors](https://hou-yz.github.io/publication/2019-cvpr2020-colorcnn)*.

## Dependencies
This code uses the following libraries
- python 3.7+
- pytorch 1.4+ & torchvision
- numpy
- matplotlib
- pillow
- opencv-python

## Data Preparation
By default, all datasets are in `~/Data/`. We use CIFAR10, CIFAR100, STL10, and tiny-imagenet-200 in this project. 
The first three datasets can be automatically downloaded.

Tiny-imagenet-200 can be downloaded from this [link](http://cs231n.stanford.edu/tiny-imagenet-200.zip). 
Once downloaded, please extract the zip files under `~/Data/tiny200/`. 
Then, run `python color_distillation/utils/tiny_imagenet_val_reformat.py` to reformat the validation set. (thank [@tjmoon0104](https://github.com/tjmoon0104/Tiny-ImageNet-Classifier/blob/master/utils/tiny-imgnet-val-reformat.ipynb) for his code).

Your `~/Data/` folder should look like this
```

## Code
One can find classifier training & evaluation for traditional color quantization methods in `grid_downsample.py`.
For ColorCNN training & evaluation, please find it in `color_cnn_downsample.py`.

### Training Classifiers
In order to train classifiers, please specify `'--train'` in the arguments. 
```shell script
python grid_downsample.py -d cifar10 -a alexnet --train
``` 
One can run the shell script `bash train_classifiers.sh` to train AlexNet on all four datasets.

### Training & Evaluating ColorCNN
Based on the original image pre-trained classifiers, we then train ColorCNN under specific color space sizes. 
```shell script
python color_cnn_downsample.py -d cifar10 -a alexnet --num_colors 2
``` 
Please run the shell script `bash train_test_colorcnn.sh` to train and evaluate *ColorCNN* with AlexNet on all four datasets, under a 1-bit color space.

### Evaluating Traditional Methods
Based on pre-trained classifiers, one can directly evaluate the performance of tradition color quantization methods. 
```shell script
python python grid_downsample.py -d cifar10 -a alexnet --num_colors 2 --sample_type mcut --dither
``` 
Please run the shell script `bash test_mcut_dither.sh` to evaluate *MedianCut+Dithering* with AlexNet on all four datasets, under a 1-bit color space.
