Cartoon-StyleGan : Cartoonize Yourself !🙃

Recent studies have shown remarkable success in the unsupervised image to image (I2I) translation. However, due to the imbalance in the data, learning joint distribution for various domains is still very challenging. Although existing models can generate realistic target images, it’s difficult to maintain the structure of the source image. In addition, training a generative model on large data in multiple domains requires a lot of time and computer resources. To address these limitations, I propose a novel image-to-image translation method that generates images of the target domain by finetuning a stylegan2 pretrained model. The stylegan2 model is suitable for unsupervised I2I translation on unbalanced datasets; it is highly stable, produces realistic images, and even learns properly from limited data when applied with simple fine-tuning techniques. Thus, in this project, I propose new methods to preserve the structure of the source images and generate realistic images in the target domain.

1. Method

Baseline : StyleGAN2-ADA + FreezeD

It generates realistic images, but does not maintain the structure of the source domain.

   

Ours : FreezeSG (Freeze Style vector and Generator)

FreezeG is effective in maintaining the structure of the source image. As a result of various experiments, I found that not only the initial layer of the generator but also the initial layer of the style vector are important for maintaining the structure. Thus, I froze the low-resolution layer of both the generator and the style vector.

Freeze Style vector and Generator

Results

With Layer Swapping

When LS is applied, the generated images by FreezeSG have a higher similarity to the source image than when FreezeG or the baseline (FreezeD + ADA) were used. However, since this fixes the weights of the low-resolution layer of the generator, it is difficult to obtain meaningful results when layer swapping on the low-resolution layer.

Ours : Structure Loss

Based on the fact that the structure of the image is determined at low resolution, I apply structure loss to the values of the low-resolution layer so that the generated image is similar to the image in the source domain. The structure loss makes the RGB output of the source generator to be fine-tuned to have a similar value with the RGB output of the target generator during training.

2. Application : Change Facial Expression / Pose

I applied various models(ex. Indomain-GAN, SeFa, StyleCLIP…) to change facial expression, posture, style, etc.

(1) Closed Form Factorization(SeFa)

Pose

Slim Face

(2) StyleCLIP – Latent Optimization

Inspired by StyleCLIP that manipulates generated images with text, I change the faces of generated cartoon characters by text. I used the latent optimization method among the three methods of StyleCLIP and additionally introduced styleclip strength. It allows the latent vector to linearly move in the direction of the optimized latent vector, making the image change better with text.

with our model(structureLoss)

(3) Style Mixing

Style-Mixing

When mixing layers, I found specifics layers that make a face. While the overall structure (hair style, facial shape, etc.) and texture (skin color and texture) were maintained, only the face(eyes, nose and mouth) was changed.

Dataset

I experimented with a variety of datasets, including Naver Webtoon, Metfaces, and Disney.

NaverWebtoon Dataset contains facial images of webtoon characters serialized on Naver. I made this dataset by crawling webtoons from Naver’s webtoons site and cropping the faces to 256 x 256 sizes. There are about 15 kinds of webtoons and 8,000 images. I trained the entire Naver Webtoon dataset, and I also trained each webtoon in this experiment

I was also allowed to share a pretrained model with writers permission to use datasets. Thank you for the writers (Yaongyi, Namsoo, justinpinkney) who gave us permission.

Getting Started !

1. Prepare LMDB Dataset

First create lmdb datasets:

python prepare_data.py --out LMDB_PATH --n_worker N_WORKER --size SIZE1,SIZE2,SIZE3,... DATASET_PATH

# if you have zip file, change it to lmdb datasets by this commend
python run.py --prepare_data=DATASET_PATH --zip=ZIP_NAME --size SIZE

2. Train

# StyleGAN2
python train.py --batch BATCH_SIZE LMDB_PATH
# ex) python train.py --batch=8 --ckpt=ffhq256.pt --freezeG=4 --freezeD=3 --augment --path=LMDB_PATH

# StructureLoss
# ex) python train.py --batch=8 --ckpt=ffhq256.pt --structure_loss=2 --freezeD=3 --augment --path=LMDB_PATH

# FreezeSG
# ex) python train.py --batch=8 --ckpt=ffhq256.pt --freezeStyle=2 --freezeG=4 --freezeD=3 --augment --path=LMDB_PATH


# Distributed Settings
python train.py --batch BATCH_SIZE --path LMDB_PATH \
    -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=N_GPU --master_port=PORT

Options

  1. Project images to latent spaces

     python projector.py --ckpt [CHECKPOINT] --size [GENERATOR_OUTPUT_SIZE] FILE1 FILE2 ...

  2. Closed-Form Factorization

    You can use closed_form_factorization.py and apply_factor.py to discover meaningful latent semantic factor or directions in unsupervised manner.

    First, you need to extract eigenvectors of weight matrices using closed_form_factorization.py

     python closed_form_factorization.py [CHECKPOINT]

    This will create factor file that contains eigenvectors. (Default: factor.pt) And you can use apply_factor.py to test the meaning of extracted directions

     python apply_factor.py -i [INDEX_OF_EIGENVECTOR] -d [DEGREE_OF_MOVE] -n [NUMBER_OF_SAMPLES] --ckpt [CHECKPOINT] [FACTOR_FILE]
 # ex) python apply_factor.py -i 19 -d 5 -n 10 --ckpt [CHECKPOINT] factor.pt
