mmflow

Introduction

MMFlow is an open source optical flow toolbox based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.

The master branch works with PyTorch 1.5+.

Major features

• The First Unified Framework for Optical Flow

  MMFlow is the first toolbox that provides a framework for unified implementation and evaluation of optical flow algorithms.

• Flexible and Modular Design

  We decompose the flow estimation framework into different components, which makes it much easy and flexible to build a new model by combining different modules.

• Plenty of Algorithms and Datasets Out of the Box

  The toolbox directly supports popular and contemporary optical flow models, e.g. FlowNet, PWC-Net, RAFT, etc, and representative datasets, FlyingChairs, FlyingThings3D, Sintel, KITTI, etc.
