Learning-Based View Synthesis for Light Field Cameras - Pytorch

A PyTorch implementation of a LF Camera View Synthesis method proposed by SIGGRAPH Asia 2016 paper Learning-Based View Synthesis for Light Field Cameras.

Requirments

• Python 3.x
• CUDA

Other dependencies

• Pytorch
• openCV
• scipy
• numpy
• scikit-image
• h5py

pip3 install -r requirments.txt

Datasets

Training and test datasets are from orginal project page

Training Dataset

Training dataset has 100 light field images. Download the Training set from here, unzip it and copy the png files in the TrainingData/Training directory.

Test Dataset

Test dataset has 30 light field images. Download the Test set from here, unzip it and copy the png files into TrainingData/Test directory.

Usage

Train

Run "PrepareData.m" to process the training and test sets. It takes a long time for the first training image to be processed since a huge h5 file needs to be created first.

python3 prepare_data.py

optional arguments:
--dataset                       choose which dataset to process

Then start the training

python3 train.py

optional arguments:
--is_continue                   if to continue training from existing network[default value is False]

The trained network, PSNR value and loss plot are in TrainingData directory.

Test Single Image

Copy desired png files into Scenes folder. The results shown in the paper can be found in TestSet\PAPER directory.

python3 test.py

The output images and objective quality result are in Results directory.

Results

Original model (iteration: 26,500; Training PSNR: 33.36 ):

• Seahorse (PSNR: 29.10; SSIM: 0.952)

• Flower1 (PSNR: 29.86; SSIM: 0.945)

To do list:

• Move prepare_data.py onto GPU

  This will make training and testing tremendously faster. The key is to implement a cubic interpolation method with PyToch tensors to replace the Scipy one.
