overall_structure

Overview of our proposed DISCNet. The main restoration branch consists of an encoder and a decoder, with feature maps propagated and transformed by DISCNet through skip connections. DISCNet applies multi-scale dynamic convolutions using generated filters conditioned on PSF kernel code and spatial information from input images.

result

Figure: Removing Diffraction artifacts from Under-Display Camera (UDC) images using the proposed DISCNet. The major degradations caused by light diffraction are a combination of flare, blur, and haze.

Dependencies and Installation

Python >= 3.7 (Recommend to use Anaconda or Miniconda)
PyTorch >= 1.3
NVIDIA GPU + CUDA

Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/jnjaby/DISCNet.git

Install Dependencies

cd DISCNet
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install BasicSR

Compile BasicSR without cuda extensions for DCN (Remember to modify the CUDA paths in make.sh and make sure that your GCC version: gcc >= 5)
```
sh ./make.sh
```

Dataset Preparation

You can use the provided download script. The script considerably reduce your workload by automatically downloading all the requested files, retrying each file on error, and unzip files.

Alternatively, you can also grab the data directly from GoogleDrive, unzip and put them into ./datasets.

Please refer to Datasets.md for pre-processing and more details.

Get Started

Test

We provide quick test code with the pretrained model. The testing command assumes using single GPU testing. Please see TrainTest.md if you prefer using slurm.

Download pretrained models from Google Drive.

python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py --method=DISCNet

Modify the paths to dataset and pretrained model in the following yaml files for configuration.
```
./options/test/DISCNet_test_synthetic_data.yml
./options/test/DISCNet_test_real_data.yml
```

Run test code for synthetic data.

python -u basicsr/test.py -opt "options/test/DISCNet_test_synthetic_data.yml" --launcher="none"

Check out the results in ./results.

Run test code for real data.

Feed the real data to the pre-trained network.

python -u basicsr/test.py -opt "options/test/DISCNet_test_real_data.yml" --launcher="none"

The results are in ./results (Pre-ISP versions, saved as .png and .npy.)

(Optional) If you wish to further improve the visual quality, apply the post-processing pipeline.

cd datasets
python data_scripts/post_process.py \
--data_path="../results/DISCNet_test_real_data/visualization/ZTE_real_rot_5" \
--ref_path="datasets/real_data" \
--save_path="../results/post_images"

Train

All logging files in the training process, e.g., log message, checkpoints, and snapshots, will be saved to ./experiments and ./tb_logger directory.

Prepare datasets. Please refer to Dataset Preparation.
Modify config files.
```
./options/train/DISCNet_train.yml
```

Run training code (Slurm Training). Kindly checkout TrainTest.md and use single GPU training, distributed training, or slurm training as per your preference.

srun -p [partition] --mpi=pmi2 --job-name=DISCNet --gres=gpu:2 --ntasks=2 --ntasks-per-node=2 --cpus-per-task=2 --kill-on-bad-exit=1 \
python -u basicsr/train.py -opt "options/train/DISCNet_train.yml" --launcher="slurm"

Results

syn_result Result on synthetic dataset.

real_result Result on real dataset.
