[ECCV 2020] Flow-edge Guided Video Completion

[Paper] [Project Website] [Google Colab (coming soon)]

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.

Note from Chen

This is a beta version of the code. I will work on making the official code available (tentative date: late-Nov).

Prerequisites

  • Linux (tested on CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708)
  • Anaconda
  • Python 3.6
  • PyTorch 0.4.0 (for DeepFill). Please set up another environment FGVC according to this.
  • PyTorch 1.6.0 (for RAFT). Please set up an environment raft according to this.

Quick start

Always activate raft first. Run the code until you see a warning: 'Please switch to Pytorch 0.4.0'. Deactivate raft, activate FGVC, and run the code again.

  • 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.
