DIRECT: Deep Image REConstruction Toolkit
DIRECT is a Python, end-to-end pipeline for solving Inverse Problems emerging in Imaging Processing. It is built with PyTorch and stores state-of-the-art Deep Learning imaging inverse problem solvers such as denoising, dealiasing and reconstruction. By defining a base forward linear or non-linear operator, DIRECT can be used for training models for recovering images such as MRIs from partially observed or noisy input data.
DIRECT stores inverse problem solvers such as the Learned Primal Dual algorithm, Recurrent Inference Machine and Recurrent Variational Network, which were part of the winning solution in Facebook & NYUs FastMRI challenge in 2019 and the Calgary-Campinas MRI reconstruction challenge at MIDL 2020. For a full list of the baselines currently implemented in DIRECT see here.
