NAFNet Image Restoration

This repository contains implementations of the NAFNet (Nonlinear Activation Free Network) for image restoration tasks such as deblurring and denoising. The core of the project includes a modular framework for easy processing of images using pre-trained models.

Features

• Image Restoration: The core functionality includes deblurring and denoising using state-of-the-art models.
• Modular Design: Separate processors for different tasks, with a base class for common functionality.
• Model Management: Automatically downloads and manages model files for easy usage.

Installation

Via PyPI You can easily install the nafnetlib package from PyPI: pip install nafnetlib

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• PyTorch
• PIL (Pillow)
• Other dependencies listed in requirements.txt

You can install the dependencies using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

These dependencies will be automatically installed when you install nafnetlib via pip.

Usage

Initialization and Image Processing To use the deblurring or denoising functionality, you can initialize the corresponding processor class (DeblurProcessor or DenoiseProcessor), and then use the process() method to process images.

Here’s an example of how to use the DeblurProcessor and DenoiseProcessor:

from PIL import Image
from nafnetlib import DeblurProcessor, DenoiseProcessor

# Initialize the deblurring processor
db_processor = DeblurProcessor(
    model_id="reds_width64",
    model_dir="/absolute/path/to/model/directory",
    device="cuda"
)

# Print available models
print(db_processor.available_models())

# Initialize the denoising processor
db_processor = DenoiseProcessor(
    model_id="sidd_width64",
    model_dir="/absolute/path/to/model/directory",
    device="cuda"
)

# Load image for processing
img_path = "path/to/image/file"
image = Image.open(img_path)

# Process the image (e.g., deblur or denoise)
db_processor.process(image).show()

Supported Models

The following models are available for different image restoration tasks:

Image Deblurring (GoPro):

Models: gopro_width64, gopro_width32

Image Denoising (SIDD):

Models: sidd_width64, sidd_width32

Image Deblurring with JPEG Artifacts (REDS):

Models: reds_width64

These models are derived from the megvii-research/nafnet GitHub repository.

Not-supported Models

Baseline-GoPro-*, Baseline-SIDD-* and NAFSSR-L_*

Model Download

When initializing the processors, models are automatically downloaded if they are not found in the specified directory. Supported models come from megvii-research/nafnet.
