Table of Contents

Overview:

We provide testing and training code. Details of the training and testing dataset can be found in DeepHDRVideo-Dataset. Datasets and the trained models can be download in Google Drive or BaiduYun (TODO).

Dependencies

This model is implemented in PyTorch and tested with Ubuntu (14.04 and 16.04) and Centos 7.

  • Python 3.7
  • PyTorch 1.10 and torchvision 0.30

You are highly recommended to use Anaconda and create a new environment to run this code. The following is an example procedure to install the dependencies.

# Create a new python3.7 environment named hdr
conda create -n hdr python=3.7

# Activate the created environment
source activate hdr

pip install -r requirements.txt

# Build deformable convolutional layer, tested with pytorch 1.1, g++5.5, and cuda 9.0
cd extensions/dcn/
python setup.py develop
# Please refer to https://github.com/xinntao/EDVR if you have difficulty in building this module

Testing

Please first go through DeepHDRVideo-Dataset to familiarize yourself with the testing dataset.

The trained models can be found in Google Drive (Models/). Download and place it to data/models/.

Testing on the synthetic test dataset

The synthetic test dataset can be found in Google Drive (/Synthetic_Dataset/HDR_Synthetic_Test_Dataset.tgz). Download and unzip it to data/. Note that we donot perform global motion alignment for this synthetic dataset.

# Test our method on two-exposure data. Results can be found in data/models/CoarseToFine_2Exp/
python run_model.py --gpu_ids 0 --model hdr2E_flow2s_model \
    --benchmark syn_test_dataset --bm_dir data/HDR_Synthetic_Test_Dataset \

Testing on the TOG13 dataset

Please download this dataset from TOG13_Dynamic_Dataset.tgz and unzip to data/. Normally when testing on a video, we have to first compute the similarity transformation matrices between neighboring frames using the following commands.

# However, this is optional as the downloaded dataset already contains the require transformation matrices for each scene in Affine_Trans_Matrices/.
python utils/compute_nbr_trans_for_video.py --in_dir data/TOG13_Dynamic_Dataset/ --crf data/TOG13_Dynamic_Dataset/BaslerCRF.mat --scene_list 2Exp_scenes.txt

Testing on the captured static dataset

The global motion augmented static dataset can be found in Google Drive (/Real_Dataset/Static/).

# Test our method on two-exposure data. Download static_RGB_data_2exp_rand_motion_release.tgz and unzip to data/
# Results can be found in data/models/CoarseToFine_2Exp/

Testing on the captured dynamic with GT dataset

The dynamic with GT dataset can be found in Google Drive (/Real_Dataset/Dynamic/).

# Test our method on two-exposure data. Download dynamic_RGB_data_2exp_release.tgz and unzip to data/
python run_model.py --gpu_ids 0 --model hdr2E_flow2s_model \
    --benchmark real_benchmark_dataset --bm_dir data/dynamic_RGB_data_2exp_release --test_scene all \

Testing on the customized dataset

You have two options to test our method on your dataset. In the first option, you have to implement a customized Dataset class to load your data, which should not be difficult. Please refer to datasets/tog13_online_align_dataset.py.

If you don't want to implement your own Dataset class, you may reuse datasets/tog13_online_align_dataset.py. However, you have to first arrange your dataset similar to TOG13 dataset. Then you can run utils/compute_nbr_trans_for_video.py to compute the similarity transformation matrices between neighboring frames to enable global alignment.

# Use gamma curve if you do not know the camera response function
python utils/compute_nb_transformation_video.py --in_dir /path/to/your/dataset/ --crf gamma --scene_list your_scene_list

HDR evaluation metrics

We evaluate PSRN, HDR-VDP, HDR-VQM metrics using the Matlab code. Please first install HDR Toolbox to read HDR. Then set the paths of the ground-truth HDR and the estimated HDR in matlab/config_eval.m. Last, run main_eval.m in the Matlab console in the directory of matlab/.

main_eval(2, 'Ours')
main_eval(3, 'Ours')

Tonemapping

All visual results in the experiment are tonemapped using Reinhard et al.’s method. Please first install luminance-hdr-cli. In Ubuntu, you may use sudo apt-get install -y luminance-hdr to install it. Then you can use the following command to produce the tonemmapped results.

python utils/tonemapper.py -i /path/to/HDR/

Precomputed Results

The precomputed results can be found in Google Drive (/Results) (TODO).

Training

The training process is described in docs/training.md.
