Overview

iGAN (aka. interactive GAN) is the author's implementation of interactive image generation interface described in:
"Generative Visual Manipulation on the Natural Image Manifold"

In European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2016

Given a few user strokes, our system could produce photo-realistic samples that best satisfy the user edits in real-time. Our system is based on deep generative models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and DCGAN. The system serves the following two purposes:

  • An intelligent drawing interface for automatically generating images inspired by the color and shape of the brush strokes.
  • An interactive visual debugging tool for understanding and visualizing deep generative models. By interacting with the generative model, a developer can understand what visual content the model can produce, as well as the limitation of the model.

Getting started

  • Install the python libraries. (See Requirements).
  • Download the code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/junyanz/iGAN
cd iGAN
  • Download the model. (See Model Zoo for details):
bash ./models/scripts/download_dcgan_model.sh outdoor_64
  • Run the python script:
THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python iGAN_main.py --model_name outdoor_64

Requirements

The code is written in Python2 and requires the following 3rd party libraries:

sudo apt-get install python-opencv
sudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git
  • PyQt4: more details on Qt installation can be found here
sudo apt-get install python-qt4
sudo pip install qdarkstyle
sudo pip install dominate
  • GPU + CUDA + cuDNN: The code is tested on GTX Titan X + CUDA 7.5 + cuDNN 5. Here are the tutorials on how to install CUDA and cuDNN. A decent GPU is required to run the system in real-time. [Warning] If you run the program on a GPU server, you need to use remote desktop software (e.g., VNC), which may introduce display artifacts and latency problem.

Python3

For Python3 users, you need to replace pip with pip3:

  • PyQt4 with Python3:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4
  • OpenCV3 with Python3: see the installation instruction.

Interface:

See [Youtube] at 2:18s for the interactive image generation demos.

Layout

  • Drawing Pad: This is the main window of our interface. A user can apply different edits via our brush tools, and the system will display the generated image. Check/Uncheck Edits button to display/hide user edits.
  • Candidate Results: a display showing thumbnails of all the candidate results (e.g., different modes) that fits the user edits. A user can click a mode (highlighted by a green rectangle), and the drawing pad will show this result.
  • Brush Tools: Coloring Brush for changing the color of a specific region; Sketching brush for outlining the shape. Warping brush for modifying the shape more explicitly.
  • Slider Bar: drag the slider bar to explore the interpolation sequence between the initial result (i.e., randomly generated image) and the current result (e.g., image that satisfies the user edits).
  • Control Panel: Play: play the interpolation sequence; Fix: use the current result as additional constraints for further editing Restart: restart the system; Save: save the result to a webpage. Edits: Check the box if you would like to show the edits on top of the generated image.

User interaction

  • Coloring Brush: right-click to select a color; hold left click to paint; scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the width of the brush.
  • Sketching Brush: hold left-click to sketch the shape.
  • Warping Brush: We recommend you first use coloring and sketching before the warping brush. Right-click to select a square region; hold left click to drag the region; scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the size of the square region.
  • Shortcuts: P for Play, F for Fix, R for Restart; S for Save; E for Edits; Q for quitting the program.
  • Tooltips: when you move the cursor over a button, the system will display the tooltip of the button.

Model Zoo:

Download the Theano DCGAN model (e.g., outdoor_64). Before using our system, please check out the random real images vs. DCGAN generated samples to see which kind of images that a model can produce.

bash ./models/scripts/download_dcgan_model.sh outdoor_64

We provide a simple script to generate samples from a pre-trained DCGAN model. You can run this script to test if Theano, CUDA, cuDNN are configured properly before running our interface.

THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python generate_samples.py --model_name outdoor_64 --output_image outdoor_64_dcgan.png

Command line arguments:

Type python iGAN_main.py --help for a complete list of the arguments. Here we discuss some important arguments:

  • --model_name: the name of the model (e.g., outdoor_64, shoes_64, etc.)
  • --model_type: currently only supports dcgan_theano.
  • --model_file: the file that stores the generative model; If not specified, model_file='./models/%s.%s' % (model_name, model_type)
  • --top_k: the number of the candidate results being displayed
  • --average: show an average image in the main window. Inspired by AverageExplorer, average image is a weighted average of multiple generated results, with the weights reflecting user-indicated importance. You can switch between average mode and normal mode by press A.
  • --shadow: We build a sketching assistance system for guiding the freeform drawing of objects inspired by ShadowDraw To use the interface, download the model hed_shoes_64 and run the following script
THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python iGAN_main.py --model_name hed_shoes_64 --shadow --average

Dataset and Training

See more details here

Projecting an Image onto Latent Space

We provide a script to project an image into latent space (i.e., x->z):

  • Download the pre-trained AlexNet model (conv4):
bash models/scripts/download_alexnet.sh conv4
  • Run the following script with a model and an input image. (e.g., model: shoes_64.dcgan_theano, and input image ./pics/shoes_test.png)
THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python iGAN_predict.py --model_name shoes_64 --input_image ./pics/shoes_test.png --solver cnn_opt
  • Check the result saved in ./pics/shoes_test_cnn_opt.png
  • We provide three methods: opt for optimization method; cnn for feed-forward network method (fastest); cnn_opt hybrid of the previous methods (default and best). Type python iGAN_predict.py --help for a complete list of the arguments.

Script without UI

We also provide a standalone script that should work without UI. Given user constraints (i.e., a color map, a color mask, and an edge map), the script generates multiple images that mostly satisfy the user constraints. See python iGAN_script.py --help for more details.

THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python iGAN_script.py --model_name outdoor_64
