In this paper, we present Uformer, an effective and efficient Transformer-based architecture, in which we build a hierarchical encoder-decoder network using the Transformer block for image restoration. Uformer has two core designs to make it suitable for this task. The first key element is a local-enhanced window Transformer block, where we use non-overlapping window-based self-attention to reduce the computational requirement and employ the depth-wise convolution in the feed-forward network to further improve its potential for capturing local context. The second key element is that we explore three skip-connection schemes to effectively deliver information from the encoder to the decoder. Powered by these two designs, Uformer enjoys a high capability for capturing useful dependencies for image restoration. Extensive experiments on several image restoration tasks demonstrate the superiority of Uformer, including image denoising, deraining, deblurring and demoireing. We expect that our work will encourage further research to explore Transformer-based architectures for low-level vision tasks.
The project is built with PyTorch 1.9.0, Python3.7, CUDA11.1. For package dependencies, you can install them by:
pip install -r requirements.txt- Uformer_B: SIDD | DND | GoPro | HIDE | RealBlur-J | RealBlur-R | DPDD
For training data of SIDD, you can download the SIDD-Medium dataset from the official url. Then generate training patches for training by:
python3 generate_patches_SIDD.py --src_dir ../SIDD_Medium_Srgb/Data --tar_dir ../datasets/denoising/sidd/trainFor evaluation on SIDD and DND, you can download data from here.
For training on GoPro, and evaluation on GoPro, HIDE, RealBlur-J and RealBlur-R, you can download data from here.
Then put all the denoising data into ../datasets/denoising, and all the deblurring data into ../datasets/deblurring.
To train Uformer on SIDD, you can begin the training by:
sh script/train_denoise.shTo train Uformer on GoPro, you can begin the training by:
sh script/train_motiondeblur.shTo evaluate Uformer, you can run:
sh script/test.shFor evaluate on each dataset, you should uncomment corresponding line.
We provide a simple script to calculate the flops by ourselves, a simple script has been added in model.py. You can change the configuration and run:
python3 model.pyThe manual calculation of GMacs in this repo differs slightly from the main paper, but they do not influence the conclusion. We will correct the paper later.
