deeply-recursive-cnn-tf

overview

This project is a test implementation of "Deeply-Recursive Convolutional Network for Image Super-Resolution", CVPR2016 using tensorflow

Paper: ["Deeply-Recursive Convolutional Network for Image Super-Resolution"] (https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.04491) by Jiwon Kim, Jung Kwon Lee and Kyoung Mu Lee Department of ECE, ASRI, Seoul National University, Korea

Training highly deep CNN layers is so hard. However this paper makes it with some tricks like sharing filter weights and using intermediate outputs to suppress divergence in training. The model in the paper contains 20 CNN layers without no any max-pooling layers, I feel it's amazing.

🔴 I also build another SR model. It is faster and has better PSNR results. Please try this project also. https://github.com/jiny2001/dcscn-super-resolution 🔴

model structure

Those figures are from the paper. There are 3 different networks which cooperates to make images fine.

This model below is made by my code and drawn by tensorboard.

requirements

tensorflow, scipy, numpy and pillow

how to use

# train with default parameters and evaluate after training for Set5 (takes some hours to train with moderate-GPU)
python main.py

# training with simple model (will be good without GPU)
python main.py —-end_lr 1e-4 —-feature_num 32 -—inference_depth 5

# evaluation for set14 only (after training has done)
# [set5, set14, bsd100, urban100, all] are available. Please specify same model parameter with training.
python main.py -—dataset set14 --is_training False —-feature_num 32 -—inference_depth 5

# train for x4 scale images
python main.py —scale 4

# build augmented (right-left and up-down flipped) training set on SCSR2 folder
python augmentation.py

# train with augmented training data (will have a little better PSNR)
python main.py --training_set ScSR2

# train with your own training data (create directory under "data" and put your data files into it)
python main.py --training_set your_data_directory_name

Network graphs and weights / loss summaries are saved in tf_log directory.

Weights are saved in model directory.

result of my implementation

I use half num of features (128) to make training faster for those results below. Please check with original (100%) image size. (The results I got have a little less PSNR compared to their paper).

I include learned weights for default parameters. default (features:96, inference layers depth:9) with larger dataset (ynag91+general100)x4 augmented.

You can output up-converted images to evaluate. Run below and check [output] folder.

# evaluating for [set5, set14, bsd100, urban100, all] is available
python main.py -—dataset set14 --is_training False

apply to your own image

Put your image file under my project directory and then try those commands below. Please note if you trained with your own parameters like "python3 main.py --inference_depth 5 --feature_num 64", you should use same parameters for test.py.

python test.py --file your_image_filename

#try with your trained model
python test.py --file your_image_filename --same_args_which_you_used_on_your_training blabla

datasets

Some popular dataset images are already set in data folder.

for training:

• ScSR [ Yang et al. TIP 2010 ] ( J. Yang, J. Wright, T. S. Huang, and Y. Ma. Image super- resolution via sparse representation. TIP, 2010 )

for evaluation:

• Set5 [[ Bevilacqua et al. BMVC 2012 ]] (http://people.rennes.inria.fr/Aline.Roumy/results/SR_BMVC12.html)
• Set14 [[ Zeyde et al. LNCS 2010 ]] (https://sites.google.com/site/romanzeyde/research-interests)
• BSD100 [[ Huang et al. CVPR 2015 ]] (https://sites.google.com/site/jbhuang0604/publications/struct_sr) (only x2 images in this project)
• Urban100 [[ Martin et al. ICCV 2001 ]] (https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/vision/bsds/) (only x2 images in this project)

disclaimer

Some details are not shown in the paper and my guesses maybe not enough. My code's PSNR are about 0.5-1.0 lesser than paper's experiments results.
