NeuFlow v1 (Deprecated) Please move to NeuFlow v2
Official PyTorch implementation of paper:
NeuFlow: Real-time, High-accuracy Optical Flow Estimation on Robots Using Edge Devices
Authors: Zhiyong Zhang, Huaizu Jiang, Hanumant Singh
NeuFlow v2 has been published, significantly improving real-world accuracy.

The datasets used to train and evaluate NeuFlow are as follows:
By default the dataloader assumes the datasets are located in folder datasets and are organized as follows:

Symlink your dataset root to datasets:
ln -s $YOUR_DATASET_ROOT datasetsWe trained the model for approximately a week, using a single RTX 4090 GPU and an i9-13900K CPU to achieve the accuracy reported in the paper. (The CPU played a crucial role, particularly as loading images might have been the bottleneck.)
