# Generative Refocusing: Flexible Defocus Control from a Single Image
This model, **Generative Refocusing**, presented in the paper [Generative Refocusing: Flexible Defocus Control from a Single Image](https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.16923), offers a novel two-step process for depth-of-field control from a single image. It uses DeblurNet to recover all-in-focus images from various inputs and BokehNet for creating controllable bokeh. The method leverages semi-supervised training, combining synthetic paired data with unpaired real bokeh images, and achieves state-of-the-art performance in defocus deblurring, bokeh synthesis, and refocusing benchmarks, allowing text-guided adjustments and custom aperture shapes.

## ⚡ Quick Start
Follow the steps below to set up the environment and run the inference demo.
### 1. Installation
Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:rayray9999/Genfocus.git
cd Genfocus
````
Environment setup:
```bash
conda create -n Genfocus python=3.12
conda activate Genfocus
```
Install requirements:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### 2. Download Weights
You can download the pre-trained models using the following commands. Ensure you are in the `Genfocus` root directory.
```bash
# 1. Download main models to the root directory
wget https://huggingface.co/nycu-cplab/Genfocus-Model/resolve/main/bokehNet.safetensors
wget https://huggingface.co/nycu-cplab/Genfocus-Model/resolve/main/deblurNet.safetensors
# 2. Setup checkpoints directory and download auxiliary model
mkdir -p checkpoints
cd checkpoints
wget https://huggingface.co/nycu-cplab/Genfocus-Model/resolve/main/checkpoints/depth_pro.pt
cd ..
```
### 3. Run Gradio Demo
Launch the interactive web interface locally:
> **Note:** The project uses [FLUX.1-dev](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev). You must request access and authenticate locally before running the demo.
```bash
python demo.py
```
The demo will be accessible at `http://127.0.0.1:7860` in your browser.
