Visual Dynamics: Probabilistic Future Frame Synthesis via Cross Convolutional Networks.

Introduction

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.02586v1.pdf

This is an implementation based on my understanding, with small variations. It doesn't necessarily represents the paper published by the original authors.

Results:

  

Prerequisite:

1. Install TensorFlow (r0.12), Bazel.

2. Download the Sprites dataset or generate moving object dataset.

Sprites data is located here:

http://www.scottreed.info/files/nips2015-analogy-data.tar.gz

Convert .mat files into images and use sprites_gen.py to convert them to tf.SequenceExample.

How to run:

ls -R
.:
data  next_frame_prediction  WORKSPACE

./data:
tfrecords  tfrecords_test

./next_frame_prediction:
cross_conv  g3doc  README.md

./next_frame_prediction/cross_conv:
BUILD  eval.py  objects_gen.py  model.py  reader.py  sprites_gen.py  train.py

./next_frame_prediction/g3doc:

# Build everything.
bazel build -c opt next_frame_prediction/...

# The following example runs the generated 2d objects.
# For Sprites dataset, image_size should be 60, norm_scale should be 255.0.
# Batch size is normally 16~64, depending on your memory size.
#
# Run training.
