How to fine tune a model to a custom dataset

[minocrafft]

Hi @drinkingcoder,

First of all, thank you for your wonderful research. I am interested in training the FlowFormer model in custom data. Currently, it seems that training codes are only provided for benchmark datasets such as chairs, things, sintel, kiti, etc. I have some video data, and I'm going to cut the video into frames and use it for training.

I'm just starting research in the field of optical flow, so I don't know much about it.
Is there a code that processes custom dataset for training? Or do I have to make a custom dataset myself?
An additional, How do I create .flo file?

Thank you in advance for your response!

P.S.) What does autoflow mean in code that handles the args.stage of the train code?

You could customize the data loader from chairs, or things. But I think the biggest challenge is to obtain the optical flow GT of the your videos.

Can we use FlowFormer pre-trained models to generate GT for our custom dataset?

Same need, I wish if you can have any progress.
