TwinGAN -- Unsupervised Image Translation for Human Portraits
Use Pretrained Model.
We provide two pre-trained models: human to anime and human to cats.
Run the following command to translate the demo inputs.
python inference/image_translation_infer.py \
--model_path="/PATH/TO/MODEL/256/"
--image_hw=256
--input_tensor_name="sources_ph"
--output_tensor_name="custom_generated_t_style_source:0"
--input_image_path="./demo/inference_input/"
--output_image_path="./demo/inference_output/"The input_image_path can be either one single image or a path containing images.
For more information, see the documentation on inference and eval and on the web interface.
Training
Download CelebA and the Getchu dataset by following the datasets guide. Then train your model using script from the training guide.

Related works
Our idea of using adaptive normalization parameters for image translation is not unique. To the best of our knowledge, at least two more work have similar ideas: MUNIT and EG-UNIT. Our model is developed around the same time period as these models.
Some key differences between our model and the two mentioned are -- we find UNet to be extremely helpful in maintaining semantic correspondence across domain, and we found that sharing all convolution filter weights speeds up training while maintaining the same output quality.
