Pytorch implementation for multimodal image-to-image translation. For example, given the same night image, our model is able to synthesize possible day images with different types of lighting, sky and clouds. The training requires paired data.

Note: The current software works well with PyTorch 0.4+. Check out the older branch that supports PyTorch 0.1-0.3.

Prerequisites

• Linux or macOS
• Python 2 or 3
• CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN

Getting Started

Installation

• Clone this repo:

git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/junyanz/BicycleGAN.git
cd BicycleGAN

• Install PyTorch and dependencies from http://pytorch.org
• Install python libraries visdom, dominate, and moviepy.

For pip users:

bash ./scripts/install_pip.sh

For conda users:

bash ./scripts/install_conda.sh

Use a Pre-trained Model

• Download some test photos (e.g., edges2shoes):

bash ./datasets/download_testset.sh edges2shoes

• Download a pre-trained model (e.g., edges2shoes):

bash ./pretrained_models/download_model.sh edges2shoes

• Generate results with the model

bash ./scripts/test_edges2shoes.sh

The test results will be saved to a html file here: ./results/edges2shoes/val/index.html.

• Generate results with synchronized latent vectors

bash ./scripts/test_edges2shoes.sh --sync

Results can be found at ./results/edges2shoes/val_sync/index.html.

Generate Morphing Videos

• We can also produce a morphing video similar to this GIF and Youtube video.

bash ./scripts/video_edges2shoes.sh

Results can be found at ./videos/edges2shoes/.

Model Training

• To train a model, download the training images (e.g., edges2shoes).

bash ./datasets/download_dataset.sh edges2shoes

• Train a model:

bash ./scripts/train_edges2shoes.sh

• To view training results and loss plots, run python -m visdom.server and click the URL http://localhost:8097. To see more intermediate results, check out ./checkpoints/edges2shoes_bicycle_gan/web/index.html
• See more training details for other datasets in ./scripts/train.sh.

Datasets (from pix2pix)

Download the datasets using the following script. Many of the datasets are collected by other researchers. Please cite their papers if you use the data.

• Download the testset.

bash ./datasets/download_testset.sh dataset_name

• Download the training and testset.

bash ./datasets/download_dataset.sh dataset_name

• facades: 400 images from CMP Facades dataset. [Citation]
• maps: 1096 training images scraped from Google Maps
• edges2shoes: 50k training images from UT Zappos50K dataset. Edges are computed by HED edge detector + post-processing. [Citation]
• edges2handbags: 137K Amazon Handbag images from iGAN project. Edges are computed by HED edge detector + post-processing. [Citation]
• night2day: around 20K natural scene images from Transient Attributes dataset [Citation]
