WMS-RIFE v3 — Fine-tuned for WMS Satellite Sequences

Paper (ECCV2022) | Colab Demo | Tutorial

Introduction

This repo provides a fine-tuned version of RIFE v3 (HDv3) adapted for WMS satellite imagery (2k–5k). Our model is optimized for smooth temporal interpolation of clouds, land/sea surfaces, and atmospheric patterns.

• Base architecture: RIFE (ECCV 2022)
• Training improvements: L1 + motion-weighted Charbonnier + (1-SSIM) + flow smoothness
• Domain: remote sensing imagery (multi-sensor, 2k–5k resolution)
• Performance: runs in real-time on RTX-class GPUs

---

Results

N = ~5.3k validation triplets from WMS sensors. Visual inspection confirms improved temporal stability and sharper cloud edges.

Quick Start

Installation

git clone https://huggingface.co/Anson-Saju-George/wms-rifev3
cd wms-rifev3
pip install -r requirements.txt

Inference (pair of images)

python demo_infer_pair.py --img0 frame_000.png --img1 frame_001.png

This will output interp_000_001.png.

Inference (video)

python finetune_infer_wms_sequence.py --video sample.mp4 --exp 1

Generates sample_2X.mp4.
