This work is developed based on our TPAMI work MEMC-Net, where we propose the adaptive warping layer. Please also consider referring to it.

• input0-path,input1-path andoutput-path accept file path
• input-path andoutput-path accept file directory
• num-frame = target frame count
• time-step = interpolation time
• tile-size = tile size, use smaller value to reduce GPU memory usage, must be multiple of 32, default 256
• load:proc:save = thread count for the three stages (image decoding + dain interpolation + image encoding), using larger values may increase GPU usage and consume more GPU memory. You can tune this configuration with "4:4:4" for many small-size images, and "2:2:2" for large-size images. The default setting usually works fine for most situations. If you find that your GPU is hungry, try increasing thread count to achieve faster processing.
• pattern-format = the filename pattern and format of the image to be output, png is better supported, however webp generally yields smaller file sizes, both are losslessly encoded

If you encounter a crash or error, try upgrading your GPU driver:

• AMD:https://www.amd.com/en/support
• NVIDIA:https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

1. Download and setup the Vulkan SDK fromhttps://vulkan.lunarg.com/

• For Linux distributions, you can either get the essential build requirements from package manager

dnf install vulkan-headers vulkan-loader-devel

apt-get install libvulkan-dev

pacman -S vulkan-headers vulkan-icd-loader

2. Clone this project with all submodules

git clone https://github.com/nihui/dain-ncnn-vulkan.gitcd dain-ncnn-vulkangit submodule update --init --recursive

3. Build with CMake

• You can pass -DUSE_STATIC_MOLTENVK=ON option to avoid linking the vulkan loader library on MacOS

mkdir buildcd buildcmake ../srccmake --build. -j 4

• test-time sptial augmentation aka TTA-s
• test-time temporal augmentation aka TTA-t
