• 2 Dec 2021: Colab demo released
• 18 Apr 2022: Code released. Also merged into MMEditing
• 5 Feb 2023: The checkpoints for BasicVSR_2x is released.

• Add BasicVSR_2x architecture
• Add BasicVSR_2x checkpoints
• Add data processing scripts
• Add checkpoints for deblur and denoise
• Add configs for deblur and denoise
• Add Colab demo

You can find the pre-trained weights for deblurring and denoising in this link. For super-resolution and compressed video enhancement, please refer to MMEditing.

1. Install PyTorch
2. pip install openmim
3. mim install mmcv-full
4. git clone https://github.com/ckkelvinchan/BasicVSR_PlusPlus.git
5. cd BasicVSR_PlusPlus
6. pip install -v -e .

1. Download pre-trained weights
2. python demo/restoration_video_demo.py ${CONFIG} ${CHKPT} ${IN_PATH} ${OUT_PATH}

For example, you can download the VSR checkpoint here to chkpts/basicvsr_plusplus_reds4.pth, then run

python demo/restoration_video_demo.py configs/basicvsr_plusplus_reds4.py chkpts/basicvsr_plusplus_reds4.pth data/demo_000 results/demo_000

You can also replace ${IN_PATH} ${OUT_PATH} by your video path (e.g., xxx/yyy.mp4) to input/output videos.

1. Put the dataset in the designated locations specified in the configuration file.
2. sh tools/dist_train.sh ${CONFIG} ${NGPUS}
