> Existing blind image super-resolution (SR) methods mostly assume blur kernels are spatially invariant across the whole image. However, such an assumption is rarely applicable for real images whose blur kernels are usually spatially variant due to factors such as object motion and out-of-focus. Hence, existing blind SR methods would inevitably give rise to poor performance in real applications. To address this issue, this paper proposes a mutual affine network (MANet) for spatially variant kernel estimation. Specifically, MANet has two distinctive features. First, it has a moderate receptive field so as to keep the locality of degradation. Second, it involves a new mutual affine convolution (MAConv) layer that enhances feature expressiveness without increasing receptive field, model size and computation burden. This is made possible through exploiting channel interdependence, which applies each channel split with an affine transformation module whose input are the rest channel splits. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real images show that the proposed MANet not only performs favorably for both spatially variant and invariant kernel estimation, but also leads to state-of-the-art blind SR performance when combined with non-blind SR methods.

## Requirements
22+
- Python 3.6, PyTorch >= 1.6
23+
- Requirements: opencv-python
24+
- Platforms: Ubuntu 16.04, cuda-10.0 & cuDNN v-7.5
25+
26+
Note: this repository is based on [BasicSR](https://github.com/xinntao/BasicSR#memo-codebase-designs-and-conventions). Please refer to their repository for a better understanding of the code framework.
27+
28+
29+
## Quick Run
30+
Download `stage3_MANet+RRDB_x4.pth` from [release](https://github.com/JingyunLiang/MANet/releases/tag/v0.0) and put it in `./pretrained_models`. Then, run this command:
31+
```bash
32+
cd codes
33+
python test.py --opt options/test/test_stage3.yml
34+
```
35+
---
36+
37+
## Data Preparation
38+
To prepare data, put training and testing sets in `./datasets` as `./datasets/DIV2K/HR/0801.png`. Commonly used datasets can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/xinntao/BasicSR/blob/master/docs/DatasetPreparation.md#common-image-sr-datasets).
39+
40+
41+
## Training
42+
43+
Step1: to train MANet, run this command:
44+
45+
```bash
46+
python train.py --opt options/train/train_stage1.yml
47+
```
48+
49+
Step2: to train non-blind RRDB, run this command:
50+
51+
```bash
52+
python train.py --opt options/train/train_stage2.yml
53+
```
54+
55+
Step3: to fine-tune RRDB with MANet, run this command:
56+
57+
```bash
58+
python train.py --opt options/train/train_stage3.yml
59+
```
60+
61+
All trained models can be downloaded from [release](https://github.com/JingyunLiang/MANet/releases/tag/v0.0). For testing, downloading stage3 models is enough.
62+
63+
64+
## Testing
65+
66+
To test MANet (stage1, kernel estimation only), run this command:
67+
68+
```bash
69+
python test.py --opt options/test/test_stage1.yml
70+
```
71+
To test RRDB-SFT (stage2, non-blind SR with ground-truth kernel), run this command:
72+
73+
```bash
74+
python test.py --opt options/test/test_stage2.yml
75+
```
76+
To test MANet+RRDB (stage3, blind SR), run this command:
77+
78+
```bash
79+
python test.py --opt options/test/test_stage3.yml
80+
```
81+
Note: above commands generate LR images on-the-fly. To generate testing sets used in the paper, run this command:
82+
```bash
83+
python prepare_testset.py --opt options/test/prepare_testset.yml
84+
```
85+
86+
## Interactive Exploration of Kernels
87+
To explore spaitally variant kernels on an image, use `--save_kernel` and run this command to save kernel:
88+
89+
```bash
90+
python test.py --opt options/test/test_stage1.yml --save_kernel
91+
```
92+
Then, run this command to creat an interactive window:
93+
```bash
94+
python interactive_explore.py --path ../results/001_MANet_aniso_x4_test_stage1/toy_dataset1/npz/toy1.npz
95+
```
96+
97+
## Results
98+
We conducted experiments on both spatially variant and invariant blind SR. Please refer to the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.05302) and [supp](https://github.com/JingyunLiang/MANet/releases/tag/v0.0) for results.
