• Linux or macOS
• Python 3
• CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN

Type the command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download the pre-trained model and put it in ./checkpoints

• Google Drive
• Baidu Yun
  code: ​ YSZD ​

• Create directories ./dataset/testA and ./dataset/testB. Put your test images in ./dataset/testA (And you should keep whatever one image in ./dataset/testB to make sure program can start.)
• To test the pre-trained models for Underwater Enhancement on your own images, run

python test.py --dataroot ./datasets/[YOUR-DATASETS] --name underwater --model cycle_gan

Results will be shown in results folder.

• First, you need to train a base backbone:

python train.py --dataroot ./datasets/[YOUR-DATASETS] --name chinamm_train --model cycle_gan

• Second, you need to train a TAF module (here we adopt SSD):

  • Download an Underwater Detection Dataset (Chinamm).
  • Run this to make Chinamm in VOC format:

  python makeTXT.py

  • Use the trained backbone to enhance JPEGImages of chinamm.
  • cd ./ssd.pytorch-master

• Download the fc-reduced VGG-16 PyTorch base network weights at: https://s3.amazonaws.com/amdegroot-models/vgg16_reducedfc.pth

• By default, we assume you have downloaded the file in the ssd.pytorch/weights dir:

mkdir weights
cd weights
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/amdegroot-models/vgg16_reducedfc.pth

• To train SSD using the train script simply specify the parameters listed in train.py as a flag or manually change them.

python train.py

• Note:

  • For training, an NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended for speed.
  • For instructions on Visdom usage/installation, see the Installation section.
  • You can pick-up training from a checkpoint by specifying the path as one of the training parameters (again, see train.py for options)

• Evaluation To evaluate a trained network:

python eval.py

You can specify the parameters listed in the eval.py file by flagging them or manually changing them.

cd ./ssd.pytorch-master
Run

python trainall.py

• Test final version:

python visual.py
