Gated Multiple Feedback Network for Image Super-Resolution

This repository contains the PyTorch implementation for the proposed GMFN [arXiv].

The framework of our proposed GMFN. The colored arrows among different time steps denote the multiple feedback connections. The high-level information carried by them helps low-level features become more representative.

Demo

Clone SRFBN as the backbone and satisfy its requirements.

Test

1. Copy ./networks/gmfn_arch.py into SRFBN_CVPR19/networks/

2. Download the pre-trained models from Google driver or Baidu Netdisk, unzip and place them into SRFBN_CVPR19/models.

3. Copy ./options/test/ to SRFBN_CVPR19/options/test/.

4. Run commands cd SRFBN_CVPR19 and one of followings for evaluation on Set5:

python test.py -opt options/test/test_GMFN_x2.json
python test.py -opt options/test/test_GMFN_x3.json
python test.py -opt options/test/test_GMFN_x4.json

5. Finally, PSNR/SSIM values for Set5 are shown on your screen, you can find the reconstruction images in ./results.

To test GMFN on other standard SR benchmarks or your own images, please refer to the instruction in SRFBN.

Train

1. Prepare the training set according to this (1-3).
2. Modify ./options/train/train_GMFN.json by following the instructions in ./options/train/README.md.
3. Run commands:

cd SRFBN_CVPR19
python train.py -opt options/train/train_GNFN.json

4. You can monitor the training process in ./experiments.

5. Finally, you can follow the test pipeline to evaluate the model trained by yourself.
