Introduction

In "Free-form Video Inpainting with 3D Gated Convolution and Temporal PatchGAN. Chang et al. ICCV 2019.", we proposed 3D gated convolutions, Temporal PatchGAN and mask video generation algorithm to deal with free-form video inpainting in an end-to-end way. It is the first deep method for free-form video inpainting and achieves state-of-the-art performance both quantitatively and qualitatively. However, there are too many parameters for 3D gated convolutions and it takes long to train and inference.

Therefore, in "Learnable Gated Temporal Shift Module for Deep Video Inpainting. Chang et al. BMVC 2019.", we proposed a new LGTSM based on temporal shift module (TSM) for action recognition to reduce model parameters and training time to about 33%. The performance is almost the same as our previous work.

This repository contains source code for both works. Some pretrained weights for the GTSM one are given, while the LGTSM code could be found in the LGTSM branch. The pretrained weights of the 3DGated model is not available now due to some compatibility issues. The implementation of the baseline CombCN is also provided.

Environment Setup

git clone [email protected]:amjltc295/Free-Form-Video-Inpainting.git
cd Free-Form-Video-Inpainting
git submodule update --init --recursive
conda env create -f environment.yaml
source activate free_form_video_inpainting

Testing

1. Download corresponding pretrained weights from Google Drive
2. Update parameters in src/other_configs/inference_example.json:
   • If you want to test on other data, set root_masks_dir for testing masks and root_videos_dir for testing frames.
   • If you want to turn on evaluation, set evaluate_score to true.
3. Run

python train.py -r <pretrained_weight_path> --dataset_config other_configs/inference_example.json -od test_outputs

Then, you should have a directory src/test_outputs/ like:

test_outputs
└── epoch_0
    ├── test_object_like
    │   ├── inputs
    │   │   └── input_0000
    │   └── result_0000
    └── test_object_removal
        ├── inputs
        │   └── input_0000
        └── result_0000

The following GIFs show the figures that will appear in

(top row) test_object_like/result_0000, test_object_like/inputs/result_0000,

(bottom row) test_object_removal/result_0000, test_object_removal/inputs/result_0000
