Cycle-In-Cycle GANs

| Conference Paper | Extended Paper | Project | <br> Cycle In Cycle Generative Adversarial Networks for Keypoint-Guided Image Generation <br> Hao Tang¹, Dan Xu², Gaowen Liu³, Wei Wang⁴, Nicu Sebe¹ and Yan Yan³ </br> ¹University of Trento, ²University of Oxford, ³Texas State University, ⁴EPFL </br> The repository offers the official implementation of our paper in PyTorch. <br>

In the meantime, check out our related BMVC 2020 oral paper Bipartite Graph Reasoning GANs for Person Image Generation, ECCV 2020 paper XingGAN for Person Image Generation, and ICCV 2021 paper Intrinsic-Extrinsic Preserved GANs for Unsupervised 3D Pose Transfer.

Installation

Clone this repo.

git clone https://github.com/Ha0Tang/C2GAN
cd C2GAN/

This code requires PyTorch 0.4.1+ and python 3.6.9+. Please install dependencies by

pip install -r requirements.txt (for pip users)

or

./scripts/conda_deps.sh (for Conda users)

To reproduce the results reported in the paper, you would need an NVIDIA TITAN Xp GPUs.

Dataset Preparation

For your convenience we provide download scripts:

bash ./datasets/download_c2gan_dataset.sh RaFD_image_landmark

• RaFD_image_landmark: 3.0 GB

or you can use ./scripts/convert_pts_to_figure.m to convert the generated pts files to figures.

Prepare the datasets like in this folder after the download has finished. Please cite their paper if you use the data.

Generating Images Using Pretrained Model

• You need download a pretrained model (e.g., Radboud) with the following script:

bash ./scripts/download_c2gan_model.sh Radboud

• The pretrained model is saved at ./checkpoints/{name}_pretrained/latest_net_G.pth.
• Then generate the result using

python test.py --dataroot ./datasets/Radboud --name Radboud_pretrained --model c2gan --which_model_netG unet_256 --which_direction AtoB --dataset_mode aligned --norm batch --gpu_ids 0 --batch 16;

The results will be saved at ./results/. Use --results_dir {directory_path_to_save_result} to specify the results directory.

• For your own experiments, you might want to specify --netG, --norm, --no_dropout to match the generator architecture of the trained model.

Train and Test New Models

• Download a dataset using the previous script (e.g., Radboud).
• To view training results and loss plots, run python -m visdom.server and click the URL http://localhost:8097.
• Train a model:

sh ./train_c2gan.sh

• To see more intermediate results, check out ./checkpoints/Radboud_c2gan/web/index.html.
• Test the model:

sh ./test_c2gan.sh

• The test results will be saved to a html file here: ./results/Radboud_c2gan/latest_test/index.html.
