[ECCV 2020] Flow-edge Guided Video Completion

We present a new flow-based video completion algorithm. Previous flow completion methods are often unable to retain the sharpness of motion boundaries. Our method first extracts and completes motion edges, and then uses them to guide piecewise-smooth flow completion with sharp edges. Existing methods propagate colors among local flow connections between adjacent frames. However, not all missing regions in a video can be reached in this way because the motion boundaries form impenetrable barriers. Our method alleviates this problem by introducing non-local flow connections to temporally distant frames, enabling propagating video content over motion boundaries. We validate our approach on the DAVIS dataset. Both visual and quantitative results show that our method compares favorably against the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Prerequisites

  • Linux (tested on CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708)
  • Anaconda
  • Python 3.8 (tested on 3.8.5)
  • PyTorch 1.6.0

and the Python dependencies listed in requirements.txt

  • To get started, please run the following commands:

    conda create -n FGVC
    conda activate FGVC
    conda install pytorch=1.6.0 torchvision=0.7.0 cudatoolkit=10.1 matplotlib scipy opencv -c pytorch
    pip install imageio imageio-ffmpeg scikit-image imutils
    
  • Next, please download the model weight and demo data using the following command:

    chmod +x download_data_weights.sh
    ./download_data_weights.sh
    

Quick start

  • Object removal:
cd tool
python video_completion.py \
       --mode object_removal \
       --path ../data/tennis \
       --path_mask ../data/tennis_mask \
       --outroot ../result/tennis_removal \
       --seamless
  • FOV extrapolation:
cd tool
python video_completion.py \
       --mode video_extrapolation \
       --path ../data/tennis \
       --outroot ../result/tennis_extrapolation \
       --H_scale 2 \
       --W_scale 2 \
       --seamless

You can remove the --seamless flag for a faster processing time.
