What is FILM?

The frame-interpol API tool developed by Google Research is a valuable resource for users who need to interpolate frames in extensive motion scenes. With this tool, users can generate a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 8 interpolations per video, all at a smooth frame rate of 30 frames per second (FPS).

What sets this tool apart is its single-network approach, which achieves outstanding results without relying on additional pre-trained networks like optical flow depth. The model is trained solely with a frame triplet, making it efficient and straightforward to use.

Users will appreciate the speed at which the model operates. With NVIDIA T4 GPU hardware, the interpolation process typically completes within a reasonable timeframe of 36 seconds.

For those seeking more in-depth information, the tool's GitHub page offers additional resources such as citations and examples. This ensures that users have access to comprehensive documentation and can explore the tool's capabilities further.
