Unpaired Portrait Drawing Generation via Asymmetric Cycle Mapping

We provide PyTorch implementations for our CVPR 2020 paper "Unpaired Portrait Drawing Generation via Asymmetric Cycle Mapping". paper, suppl.

This project generates multi-style artistic portrait drawings from face photos using a GAN-based model.

[Jittor implementation]

Our Proposed Framework

Sample Results

From left to right: input, output(style1), output(style2), output(style3)

Prerequisites

• Linux or macOS
• Python 3
• CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN

Installation

• To install the dependencies, run

pip install -r requirements.txt

Colab

A colab demo is here.

Test steps (apply a pretrained model)

• 1. Download pre-trained models from BaiduYun(extract code:c9h7) or GoogleDrive and rename the folder to checkpoints.
• 2. Test for example photos: generate artistic portrait drawings for example photos in the folder ./examples using

# with GPU
python test_seq_style.py
# without GPU
python test_seq_style.py --gpu -1

The test results will be saved to a html file here: ./results/pretrained/test_200/index3styles.html. The result images are saved in ./results/pretrained/test_200/images3styles, where real, fake1, fake2, fake3 correspond to input face photo, style1 drawing, style2 drawing, style3 drawing respectively.

• 3. To test on your own photos: First use an image editor to crop the face region of your photo (or use an optional preprocess here). Then specify the folder that contains test photos using option --dataroot, specify save folder name using option --savefolder and run the above command again:

# with GPU
python test_seq_style.py --dataroot [input_folder] --savefolder [save_folder_name]
# without GPU
python test_seq_style.py --gpu -1 --dataroot [input_folder] --savefolder [save_folder_name]
# E.g.
python test_seq_style.py --gpu -1 --dataroot ./imgs/test1 --savefolder 3styles_test1

The test results will be saved to a html file here: ./results/pretrained/test_200/index[save_folder_name].html. The result images are saved in ./results/pretrained/test_200/images[save_folder_name]. An example html screenshot is shown below:

Train steps

• 1. Prepare for the dataset: 1) download face photos and portrait drawings from internet (e.g. resources). 2) align, crop photos and drawings & 3) prepare nose, eyes, lips masks according to preprocess instructions. 3) put aligned photos under ./datasets/portrait_drawing/train/A, aligned drawings under ./datasets/portrait_drawing/train/B, masks under A_nose,A_eyes,A_lips,B_nose,B_eyes,B_lips respectively.
• 2. Train a 3-class style classifier and extract the 3-dim style feature (according to paper). And save the style feature of each drawing in the training set in .npy format, in folder ./datasets/portrait_drawing/train/B_feat

A subset of our training set is here.

• 3. Train our model

sh ./scripts/train.sh

Models are saved in folder checkpoints/portrait_drawing
