Video Frame Synthesis using Deep Voxel Flow

We address the problem of synthesizing new video frames in an existing video, either in-between existing frames (interpolation), or subsequent to them (extrapolation). Our method requires no human supervision, and any video can be used as training data by dropping, and then learning to predict, existing frames. Deep Voxel Flow (DVF) is efficient, and can be applied at any video resolution. We demonstrate that our method produces results that both quantitatively and qualitatively improve upon the state-of-the-art.

Note: we encourage you to check out the newly released [email protected]) for the pre-trained models of "Deep Voxel Flow".

Requirements

• TensorFlow

Data Preparation

• Train/Test Split
• Training Data: extract frame triplets from [UCF101](https://www.crcv.ucf.edu/data/UCF101/UCF101.rar) with obvious motion.
• Testing Data
• Motion Masks

Getting started

• Run the training script:

python voxel_flow_train.py --subset=train

• Run the testing script:

python voxel_flow_train.py --subset=test

• Run the evaluation script:

matlab eval_voxelflow.m
