Overview
This code provides pre-trained models used in the research papers:
"Learning to Simplify: Fully Convolutional Networks for Rough Sketch Cleanup"

ACM Transactions on Graphics (SIGGRAPH), 2016
and

See our project page for more detailed information.
Dependencies
- PyTorch (version 0.4.1) torchvision
- pillow
All packages should be part of a standard PyTorch install. For information on how to install PyTorch please refer to the torch website.
Usage
Before the first usage, the models have to be downloaded with:
bash download_models.sh
Next test the models with:
python simplify.py
You should see a file called out.png
created with the output of the model.
Application options can be seen with:
python simplify.py --help
Pencil Drawing Generation
Using the same interface it is possible to perform pencil drawing generation. In this case, the input should be a clean line drawing and not a rough sketch, and the line drawings can be generated by:
python simplify.py --img test_line.png --out out_rough.png --model model_pencil2.t7
This will generate a rough version of test_line.png
as out_rough.png
. By changing the model it is possible to change the type of rough sketch being generated.
Models
model_mse.t7
: Model trained using only MSE loss (SIGGRAPH 2016 model).model_gan.t7
: Model trained with MSE and GAN loss using both supervised and unsupervised training data (TOG 2018 model).model_pencil1.t7
: Model for pencil drawing generation based on artist 1 (dirty and faded pencil lines).model_pencil2.t7
: Model for pencil drawing generation based on artist 2 (clearer overlaid pencil lines).
Reproducing Paper Figures
For replicability we include code to replicate the figures in the paper. After downloading the models you can run it with:
./figs.sh
This will convert the input images in figs/
and save the output in out/
. We note that there are small differences with the results in the paper due to hardware differences and small differences in the torch/pytorch implementations. Furthermore, results are shown without the post-processing mentioned in the notes at the bottom of this document.

Training
Please see the training readme.
Notes
- Models are in Torch7 format and loaded using the PyTorch legacy code.
- This was developed and tested on various machines from late 2015 to end of 2016.
- Provided models are under a non-commercial creative commons license.
- Post-processing is not performed. You can perform it manually with
convert out.png bmp:- | mkbitmap - -t 0.3 -o - | potrace --svg --group -t 15 -o - > out.svg
.
