VFIMamba: Video Frame Interpolation with State Space Models
This is the official checkpoint library for VFIMamba: Video Frame Interpolation with State Space Models. Please refer to this repository for our code.
Model Description
VFIMamba is the first approach to adapt the SSM model to the video frame interpolation task.
- We devise the Mixed-SSM Block (MSB) for efficient inter-frame modeling using S6.
- We explore various rearrangement methods to convert two frames into a sequence, discovering that interleaved rearrangement is more suitable for VFI tasks.
- We propose a curriculum learning strategy to further leverage the potential of the S6 model.
Experimental results demonstrate that VFIMamba achieves the state-of-the-art performance across various datasets, in particular highlighting the potential of the SSM model for VFI tasks with high resolution.
Usage
We provide two models, an efficient version (VFIMamba-S) and a stronger one (VFIMamba). You can choose what you need by specifying the parameter model.
