# Robust Video Matting (RVM)
<p align="center">English | <a href="README_zh_Hans.md">中文</a></p>
Official repository for the paper [Robust High-Resolution Video Matting with Temporal Guidance](https://peterl1n.github.io/RobustVideoMatting/). RVM is specifically designed for robust human video matting. Unlike existing neural models that process frames as independent images, RVM uses a recurrent neural network to process videos with temporal memory. RVM can perform matting in real-time on any videos without additional inputs. It achieves **4K 76FPS** and **HD 104FPS** on an Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU. The project was developed at [ByteDance Inc.](https://www.bytedance.com/)

## Download
We recommend MobileNetv3 models for most use cases. ResNet50 models are the larger variant with small performance improvements. Our model is available on various inference frameworks. See [inference documentation](documentation/inference.md) for more instructions.

All models are available in [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pBsG-SCTatv-95SnEuxmnvvlRx208VKj?usp=sharing) and [Baidu Pan](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1puPSxQqgBFOVpW4W7AolkA) (code: gym7).
<br>
## PyTorch Example
1. Install dependencies:
```sh
pip install -r requirements_inference.txt
```
2. Load the model:
```python
import torch
from model import MattingNetwork
model = MattingNetwork('mobilenetv3').eval().cuda() # or "resnet50"
model.load_state_dict(torch.load('rvm_mobilenetv3.pth'))
```
3. To convert videos, we provide a simple conversion API:
```python
from inference import convert_video
convert_video(
model, # The model, can be on any device (cpu or cuda).
input_source='input.mp4', # A video file or an image sequence directory.
output_type='video', # Choose "video" or "png_sequence"
output_composition='output.mp4', # File path if video; directory path if png sequence.
output_video_mbps=4, # Output video mbps. Not needed for png sequence.
downsample_ratio=None, # A hyperparameter to adjust or use None for auto.
seq_chunk=12, # Process n frames at once for better parallelism.
)
```
4. Or write your own inference code:
```python
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from torchvision.transforms import ToTensor
from inference_utils import VideoReader, VideoWriter
reader = VideoReader('input.mp4', transform=ToTensor())
writer = VideoWriter('output.mp4', frame_rate=30)
bgr = torch.tensor([.47, 1, .6]).view(3, 1, 1).cuda() # Green background.
rec = [None] * 4 # Initial recurrent states.
downsample_ratio = 0.25 # Adjust based on your video.
with torch.no_grad():
for src in DataLoader(reader): # RGB tensor normalized to 0 ~ 1.
fgr, pha, *rec = model(src.cuda(), *rec, downsample_ratio) # Cycle the recurrent states.
com = fgr * pha + bgr * (1 - pha) # Composite to green background.
writer.write(com) # Write frame.
```
5. The models and converter API are also available through TorchHub.
```python
# Load the model.
model = torch.hub.load("PeterL1n/RobustVideoMatting", "mobilenetv3") # or "resnet50"
# Converter API.
convert_video = torch.hub.load("PeterL1n/RobustVideoMatting", "converter")
```
Please see [inference documentation](documentation/inference.md) for details on `downsample_ratio` hyperparameter, more converter arguments, and more advanced usage.

## Training and Evaluation
Please refer to the [training documentation](documentation/training.md) to train and evaluate your own model.
<br>
## Speed
Speed is measured with `inference_speed_test.py` for reference.
| GPU | dType | HD (1920x1080) | 4K (3840x2160) |
| -------------- | ----- | -------------- |----------------|
| RTX 3090 | FP16 | 172 FPS | 154 FPS |
| RTX 2060 Super | FP16 | 134 FPS | 108 FPS |
| GTX 1080 Ti | FP32 | 104 FPS | 74 FPS |
* Note 1: HD uses `downsample_ratio=0.25`, 4K uses `downsample_ratio=0.125`. All tests use batch size 1 and frame chunk 1.
* Note 2: GPUs before Turing architecture does not support FP16 inference, so GTX 1080 Ti uses FP32.
* Note 3: We only measure tensor throughput. The provided video conversion script in this repo is expected to be much slower, because it does not utilize hardware video encoding/decoding and does not have the tensor transfer done on parallel threads. If you are interested in implementing hardware video encoding/decoding in Python, please refer to [PyNvCodec](https://github.com/NVIDIA/VideoProcessingFramework).
