前些天写了视频去噪网络BSVD论文的理解，详情请点击这里，这两个星期动手实践了一下，本篇就来记录一下这个模型的实现。
这个网络的独特之处在于，它的训练和推理在实现上有所差别。在训练阶段，其使用了TSM（Time Shift Module）结构，而在推理时则使用了BBB（Bidirectional Buffer Block）结构。训练时，网络是一个MIMO（多输入多输出）形式，而在推理时，则将其设计成了单输入、单输出的流式形式。推理时，由于网络中存在16个双向buffer，即BBB，因此，前16帧会输出空数据，16帧之后开始正常输出去噪视频帧，到视频序列结束后，还会继续输出16帧的去噪视频帧，也就是，流式推理整体存在16帧的延迟。这在一些对实时性要求不太高的应用中可以推广，但对于实时性要求严格，并且存储资源有限的应用中，就无法有效应用了。
下面，我们就通过对官方代码的理解，来聊一聊BSVD的实现。
BSVD网络采用了两个UNet级联的方式。
1. 训练阶段的网络实现
在训练阶段，网络的实现如下：
python
class WNet(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, chns=[32, 64, 128], mid_ch=3, shift_input=False, stage_num=2, in_ch=4, out_ch=3, norm='bn', act='relu', interm_ch=30, blind=False):
# def __init__(self, chns=[32, 64, 128], mid_ch=3, shift_input=False, stage_num=2, in_ch=4, out_ch=3, norm='bn', act='relu', blind=False):
super(WNet, self).__init__()
self.stage_num = stage_num
self.nets_list = nn.ModuleList()
for i in np.arange(stage_num):
if i == 0:
stage_in_ch = in_ch
else:
stage_in_ch = mid_ch
if i == (stage_num-1):
stage_out_ch = out_ch
else:
stage_out_ch = mid_ch
# self.nets_list.append(DenBlock(chns=chns, out_ch=stage_out_ch, in_ch=stage_in_ch, shift_input=shift_input, norm=norm, act=act, interm_ch=interm_ch))
if i == 0:
self.nets_list.append(DenBlock(chns=chns, out_ch=stage_out_ch, in_ch=stage_in_ch, shift_input=shift_input, norm=norm, act=act, blind=blind, interm_ch=interm_ch))
else:
self.nets_list.append(DenBlock(chns=chns, out_ch=stage_out_ch,
in_ch=stage_in_ch, shift_input=shift_input, norm=norm, act=act, interm_ch=interm_ch))
# self.temp2 = DenBlock(chns=chns, in_ch=mid_ch, shift_input=shift_input)
# Init weights
self.reset_params()
@staticmethod
def weight_init(m):
if isinstance(m, nn.Conv2d):
nn.init.kaiming_normal_(m.weight, nonlinearity='relu')
def reset_params(self):
for _, m in enumerate(self.modules()):
self.weight_init(m)
def forward(self, x, debug=False):
# if debug: x_in = x
# x = self.temp1(x)
for i in np.arange(self.stage_num):
if debug: x_temp1 = x
x = self.nets_list[i](x)
# if debug: x_temp2 = x
return x网络由两个DenBlock组成，每个DenBlock是一个UNet结构：
python
class DenBlock(nn.Module):
""" Definition of the denosing block of FastDVDnet.
Inputs of constructor:
num_input_frames: int. number of input frames
Inputs of forward():
xn: input frames of dim [N, C, H, W], (C=3 RGB)
noise_map: array with noise map of dim [N, 1, H, W]
"""
def __init__(self, chns=[32, 64, 128], out_ch=3, in_ch=4, shift_input=False, norm='bn', bias=True, act='relu', interm_ch=30, blind=False):
# def __init__(self, chns=[32, 64, 128], out_ch=3, in_ch=4, shift_input=False, norm='bn', bias=True, act='relu', blind=False):
super(DenBlock, self).__init__()
self.chs_lyr0, self.chs_lyr1, self.chs_lyr2 = chns
# if stage2: in_ch=3
if shift_input:
self.inc = CvBlock(in_ch=in_ch, out_ch=self.chs_lyr0, norm=norm, bias=bias, act=act)
else:
self.inc = InputCvBlock(
num_in_frames=1, out_ch=self.chs_lyr0, in_ch=in_ch, norm=norm, bias=bias, act=act, interm_ch=interm_ch, blind=blind)

self.upc1 = UpBlock(in_ch=self.chs_lyr1, out_ch=self.chs_lyr0, norm=norm, bias=bias, act=act)
self.outc = OutputCvBlock(in_ch=self.chs_lyr0, out_ch=out_ch, norm=norm, bias=bias, act=act)
self.reset_params()

def forward(self, in1):
'''Args:

# Input convolution block

# Downsampling
x1 = self.downc0(x0)
x2 = self.downc1(x1)
# Upsampling
x2 = self.upc2(x2)
x1 = self.upc1(x1+x2)
# Estimation
x = self.outc(x0+x1)
# Residual
x[:, :3, :, :] = in1[:, :3, :, :] - x[:, :3, :, :]
return x这段代码与论文中的UNet结构相对应（见下图），包含一个输入层，两个下采样层，两个上采样层，一个输出层。
输入层没什么特别可说的，主要是两个Conv2d=>BN=>ReLU的组合；输出层也是常规实现，Con2d=>BN=>ReLU=>Con2d，需要注意的是，作者在实现过程中，BN层是没有使用的，是透传通过。
需要花心思理解的是下采样层和上采样层的实现，因为这两个模块在训练和推理过程中，是有所不同的。
两个模块的初始实现很简单，定义如下：
python
class DownBlock(nn.Module):
'''Downscale + (Conv2d => BN => ReLU)*2'''
def __init__(self, in_ch, out_ch, norm='bn', bias=True, act='relu'):
super(DownBlock, self).__init__()
norm_fn = get_norm_function(norm)
act_fn = get_act_function(act)
self.convblock = nn.Sequential(
nn.Conv2d(in_ch, out_ch, kernel_size=3,
padding=1, stride=2, bias=bias),
norm_fn(out_ch),
act_fn(inplace=True),
CvBlock(out_ch, out_ch, norm=norm, bias=bias, act=act)
)
def forward(self, x):
return self.convblock(x)
class UpBlock(nn.Module):
'''(Conv2d => BN => ReLU)*2 + Upscale'''
def __init__(self, in_ch, out_ch, norm='bn', bias=True, act='relu'):
super(UpBlock, self).__init__()
# norm_fn = get_norm_function(norm)
self.convblock = nn.Sequential(
CvBlock(in_ch, in_ch, norm=norm, bias=bias, act=act),
nn.Conv2d(in_ch, out_ch*4, kernel_size=3, padding=1, bias=bias),
nn.PixelShuffle(2)
)
return self.convblock(x)关键在于两者共同调用的子模块CvBlock的实现，在定义时，CvBlock被常规定义为：
python
class CvBlock(nn.Module):
'''(Conv2d => BN => ReLU) x 2'''
def __init__(self, in_ch, out_ch, norm='bn', bias=True, act='relu'):
super(CvBlock, self).__init__()
norm_fn = get_norm_function(norm)
act_fn = get_act_function(act)
self.c1 = nn.Conv2d(in_ch, out_ch, kernel_size=3,
padding=1, bias=bias)
self.b1 = norm_fn(out_ch)
self.relu1 = act_fn(inplace=True)
self.c2 = nn.Conv2d(out_ch, out_ch, kernel_size=3,
padding=1, bias=bias)
self.b2 = norm_fn(out_ch)
self.relu2 = act_fn(inplace=True)
def forward(self, x):
x = self.c1(x)
x = self.b1(x)
x = self.relu1(x)
x = self.c2(x)
x = self.b2(x)
x = self.relu2(x)
return x但接下来，上述定义中的c1和c2则被替换成了TSM实现：
其中，shift模块的核心实现代码如下，对输入的channels分别向左和向右移动了一定单位（fold）。
python
def shift(x, n_segment, shift_type, fold_div=3, stride=1, inplace=False):
nt, c, h, w = x.size()
n_batch = nt // n_segment
x = x.view(n_batch, n_segment, c, h, w)
fold = c // fold_div # 32/8 = 4
if inplace:
# Due to some out of order error when performing parallel computing.
# May need to write a CUDA kernel.
print("WARNING: use inplace shift. it has bugs")
raise NotImplementedError
else:
out = torch.zeros_like(x)
if not 'toFutureOnly' in shift_type:
out[:, :-stride, :fold] = x[:, stride:, :fold] # backward (left shift)
out[:, stride:, fold: 2 * fold] = x[:, :-stride, fold: 2 * fold] # forward (right shift)
else:
out[:, stride:, : 2 * fold] = x[:, :-stride, : 2 * fold] # right shift only
out[:, :, 2 * fold:] = x[:, :, 2 * fold:] # not shift
return out.view(nt, c, h, w)2. 推理阶段的网络实现
在推理阶段，网络实现就显得复杂一些了。大致的网络结构没变，但由于内部的TSM替换成了BBB， 因此没办法严格进行整体网络的加载，只能每一层单独加载训练出来的state_dict。并且，网络推理变成了流式推理，整个网络的定义显得比较凌乱，结构如下：
python
class BSVD(nn.Module):

return count两个UNet的定义（DenBlock）大体上没发生变化，但下采样模块和上采样模块的定义发生了改变。
下采样层如下，原来带有TSM的CvBlock换成了MemCvBlock：
上采样模块也类似：
而MemCvBlock则调用了BBB模块，BBB模块的实现如下，这是整个算法的核心：
python
class BiBufferConv(nn.Module):
def __init__(self,
in_channels,
out_channels,
kernel_size,
stride=1,
padding=0,
bias=True
) -> None:
super(BiBufferConv, self).__init__()
self.op = ShiftConv(

else:
# in the end stage, both feed in and memory are empty
if verbose: print("%f+none+none = none"%(torch.mean(self.left_fold_2fold)))
# print("self.center is None")
return None
# Case2: Center is not None, but input_right is None
elif input_right is None:
# In the last procesing stage, center is 0
output = self.op(self.left_fold_2fold, self.center, torch.zeros((self.n, self.fold, self.h, self.w), device=torch.device('cuda')))
if verbose: print("%f+%f+none = %f"%(torch.mean(self.left_fold_2fold), torch.mean(self.center), torch.mean(output)))
else:
output = self.op(self.left_fold_2fold, self.center, input_right)
if verbose: print("%f+%f+%f = %f"%(torch.mean(self.left_fold_2fold), torch.mean(self.center), torch.mean(input_right), torch.mean(output)))
# if output == 57:
# a = 1
self.left_fold_2fold = self.center[:, self.fold:2*self.fold, :, :]
self.center = input_right
return output这样，通过BBB模块，就实现了16个双向Buffer的填充、更新和清空。
限于篇幅，先梳理出个大体的思路，实际上还有很多细节需要特别关注，留待下一篇来写吧。
