In this work, we propose to involve the padding space of the generator to complement the native latent space, facilitating high-fidelity GAN inversion. Concretely, we replace the constant padding (e.g., usually zeros) used in convolution layers with some instance-aware coefficients. In this way, the inductive bias assumed in the pre-trained model can be appropriately adapted to fit each individual image. We demonstrate that such a space extension allows a more flexible image manipulation, such as the separate control of face contour and facial details, and enables a novel editing manner where users can customize their own manipulations highly efficiently.

Qualitative Results

From top to bottom: (a) high-fidelity GAN inversion with spatial details, (b) face blending with contour from one image and details from another, and (c) customized manipulations with one image pair.

Preparation

To train or test PadInv, preparing the data and pre-trained GAN checkpoints is needed at first.

For data, please download FFHQ and CelebA-HQ-testset for face domain, and LSUN Church and Bedroom for indoor and outdoor scene, respectively.

For pre-trained GAN checkpoints, you can download them here: StyleGAN2-FFHQ, StyleGAN2-Church, StyleGAN2-Bedroom.

Training

Training Scripts

Please use the following scripts to train PadInv corresponding to various domains.

# Face
bash scripts/encoder_scipts/encoder_stylegan2_ffhq_train.sh 8 your_training_set_path your_test_set_path your_gan_ckp_path --job_name=your_job_name 
# Church
bash scripts/encoder_scipts/encoder_stylegan2_church_train.sh 8 your_training_set_path your_test_set_path your_gan_ckp_path --job_name=your_job_name 
# Bedroom
bash scripts/encoder_scipts/encoder_stylegan2_bedroom_train.sh 8 your_training_set_path your_test_set_path your_gan_ckp_path --job_name=your_job_name

In scripts above, '8' indicates the gpu amount for training. 'your_training_set_path' and 'your_test_set_path' indicate the dataset paths (e.g. data/ffhq.zip, data/CelebA-HQ-test, or data/bedroom_train_lmdb). For training and testing on LSUN, we support reading the LMDB directory thanks to Hammer. 'your_gan_ckp_path' indicates the path of the pre-trained GAN checkpoint to be inverted. 'your_job_name' indicates the name of this training job and the name of the job working directory.

Results

  1. Testing metric results and visualization results of inversion can be found in work_dir/your_job_name/results/.
  2. The training log is saved at work_dir/your_job_name/log.txt.
  3. Checkpoints can be found in work_dir/your_job_name/checkpoints/. Note that we save the checkpoints corresponding to the best metrics and the latest ones.
