Image Super-Resolution with Non-Local Sparse Attention

This repository is for NLSN introduced in the following paper "Image Super-Resolution with Non-Local Sparse Attention", CVPR2021, [Link]

The code is built on EDSR (PyTorch) and test on Ubuntu 18.04 environment (Python3.6, PyTorch >= 1.1.0) with V100 GPUs.

Introduction

Both Non-Local (NL) operation and sparse representa-tion are crucial for Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR).In this paper, we investigate their combinations and proposea novel Non-Local Sparse Attention (NLSA) with dynamicsparse attention pattern. NLSA is designed to retain long-range modeling capability from NL operation while enjoying robustness and high-efficiency of sparse representation.Specifically, NLSA rectifies non-local attention with spherical locality sensitive hashing (LSH) that partitions the input space into hash buckets of related features. For everyquery signal, NLSA assigns a bucket to it and only computes attention within the bucket. The resulting sparse attention prevents the model from attending to locations thatare noisy and less-informative, while reducing the computa-tional cost from quadratic to asymptotic linear with respectto the spatial size. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and efficiency of NLSA. With a few non-local sparseattention modules, our architecture, called non-local sparsenetwork (NLSN), reaches state-of-the-art performance forSISR quantitatively and qualitatively.

Train

Prepare training data

  1. Download DIV2K training data (800 training + 100 validtion images) from DIV2K dataset or SNU_CVLab.

  2. Specify '--dir_data' based on the HR and LR images path.

For more informaiton, please refer to EDSR(PyTorch).

Begin to train

  1. (optional) Download pretrained models for our paper.

    Pre-trained models can be downloaded from Google Drive

  2. Cd to 'src', run the following script to train models.

    Example command is in the file 'demo.sh'.

    # Example X2 SR
    python main.py --dir_data ../../ --n_GPUs 4 --rgb_range 1 --chunk_size 144 --n_hashes 4 --save_models --lr 1e-4 --decay 200-400-600-800 --epochs 1000 --chop --save_results --n_resblocks 32 --n_feats 256 --res_scale 0.1 --batch_size 16 --model NLSN --scale 2 --patch_size 96 --save NLSN_x2 --data_train DIV2K
    

Test

Quick start

  1. Download benchmark datasets from SNU_CVLab

  2. (optional) Download pretrained models for our paper.
