CycleGAN and pix2pix in PyTorch

This is our ongoing PyTorch implementation for both unpaired and paired image-to-image translation.

The code was written by Jun-Yan Zhu and Taesung Park.

Check out the original CycleGAN Torch and pix2pix Torch code if you would like to reproduce the exact same results as in the papers.

python test.py --dataroot ./datasets/maps --name maps_cyclegan --model cycle_gan --phase test --no_dropout

The test results will be saved to a html file here: ./results/maps_cyclegan/latest_test/index.html.

pix2pix train/test

• Download a pix2pix dataset (e.g.facades):

bash ./datasets/download_pix2pix_dataset.sh facades

• Train a model:

#!./scripts/train_pix2pix.sh
python train.py --dataroot ./datasets/facades --name facades_pix2pix --model pix2pix --which_model_netG unet_256 --which_direction BtoA --lambda_A 100 --dataset_mode aligned --no_lsgan --norm batch --pool_size 0

More example scripts can be found at scripts directory.

Apply a pre-trained model (CycleGAN)

If you would like to apply a pre-trained model to a collection of input photos (without image pairs), please use --dataset_mode single and --model test options. Here is a script to apply a pix2pix model to facade label maps (stored in the directory facades/testB).

#!./scripts/test_single.sh
python test.py --dataroot ./datasets/facades/testB/ --name facades_pix2pix --model test --which_model_netG unet_256 --which_direction BtoA --dataset_mode single

Note: We currently don't have pretrained models using PyTorch. This is in part because the models trained using Torch and PyTorch produce slightly different results, although we were not able to decide which result is better. If you would like to generate the same results that appeared in our paper, we recommend using the pretrained models in the Torch codebase.

Apply a pre-trained model (pix2pix)

Download the pre-trained models using ./pretrained_models/download_pix2pix_model.sh. For example, if you would like to download label2photo model on the Facades dataset,

bash pretrained_models/download_pix2pix_model.sh facades_label2photo

Then generate the results using

python test.py --dataroot ./datasets/facades/ --which_direction BtoA --model pix2pix --name facades_label2photo_pretrained --dataset_mode aligned --which_model_netG unet_256 --norm batch

Note that we specified --which_direction BtoA to accomodate the fact that the Facades dataset's A to B direction is photos to labels.

Also, the models that are currently available to download can be found by reading the output of bash pretrained_models/download_pix2pix_model.sh

Training/test Details

• Flags: see options/train_options.py and options/base_options.py for all the training flags; see options/test_options.py and options/base_options.py for all the test flags.
• CPU/GPU (default --gpu_ids 0): set--gpu_ids -1 to use CPU mode; set --gpu_ids 0,1,2 for multi-GPU mode. You need a large batch size (e.g. --batchSize 32) to benefit from multiple GPUs.
• Visualization: during training, the current results can be viewed using two methods. First, if you set --display_id > 0, the results and loss plot will appear on a local graphics web server launched by visdom. To do this, you should have visdom installed and a server running by the command python -m visdom.server. The default server URL is http://localhost:8097. display_id corresponds to the window ID that is displayed on the visdom server. The visdom display functionality is turned on by default. To avoid the extra overhead of communicating with visdom set --display_id 0. Second, the intermediate results are saved to [opt.checkpoints_dir]/[opt.name]/web/ as an HTML file. To avoid this, set --no_html.
• Preprocessing: images can be resized and cropped in different ways using --resize_or_crop option. The default option 'resize_and_crop' resizes the image to be of size (opt.loadSize, opt.loadSize) and does a random crop of size (opt.fineSize, opt.fineSize). 'crop' skips the resizing step and only performs random cropping. 'scale_width' resizes the image to have width opt.fineSize while keeping the aspect ratio. 'scale_width_and_crop' first resizes the image to have width opt.loadSize and then does random cropping of size (opt.fineSize, opt.fineSize).
• Fine-tuning/Resume training: to fine-tune a pre-trained model, or resume the previous training, use the --continue_train flag. The program will then load the model based on which_epoch. By default, the program will initialize the epoch count as 1. Set --epoch_count <int> to specify a different starting epoch count.

CycleGAN Datasets

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

bash ./datasets/download_cyclegan_dataset.sh dataset_name

• facades: 400 images from the CMP Facades dataset. [Citation]
• cityscapes: 2975 images from the Cityscapes training set. [Citation]
• maps: 1096 training images scraped from Google Maps.
• horse2zebra: 939 horse images and 1177 zebra images downloaded from ImageNet using keywords wild horse and zebra
• apple2orange: 996 apple images and 1020 orange images downloaded from ImageNet using keywords apple and navel orange.
• summer2winter_yosemite: 1273 summer Yosemite images and 854 winter Yosemite images were downloaded using Flickr API. See more details in our paper.
• monet2photo, vangogh2photo, ukiyoe2photo, cezanne2photo: The art images were downloaded from Wikiart. The real photos are downloaded from Flickr using the combination of the tags landscape and landscapephotography. The training set size of each class is Monet:1074, Cezanne:584, Van Gogh:401, Ukiyo-e:1433, Photographs:6853.
• iphone2dslr_flower: both classes of images were downlaoded from Flickr. The training set size of each class is iPhone:1813, DSLR:3316. See more details in our paper.

To train a model on your own datasets, you need to create a data folder with two subdirectories trainA and trainB that contain images from domain A and B. You can test your model on your training set by setting phase='train' in test.lua. You can also create subdirectories testA and testB if you have test data.

You should not expect our method to work on just any random combination of input and output datasets (e.g. cats<->keyboards). From our experiments, we find it works better if two datasets share similar visual content. For example, landscape painting<->landscape photographs works much better than portrait painting <-> landscape photographs. zebras<->horses achieves compelling results while cats<->dogs completely fails.

pix2pix datasets

Download the pix2pix datasets using the following script. Some of the datasets are collected by other researchers. Please cite their papers if you use the data.

bash ./datasets/download_pix2pix_dataset.sh dataset_name

• facades: 400 images from CMP Facades dataset. [Citation]
• cityscapes: 2975 images from the Cityscapes training set. [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]

We provide a python script to generate pix2pix training data in the form of pairs of images {A,B}, where A and B are two different depictions of the same underlying scene. For example, these might be pairs {label map, photo} or {bw image, color image}. Then we can learn to translate A to B or B to A:

Create folder /path/to/data with subfolders A and B. A and B should each have their own subfolders train, val, test, etc. In /path/to/data/A/train, put training images in style A. In /path/to/data/B/train, put the corresponding images in style B. Repeat same for other data splits (val, test, etc).

Corresponding images in a pair {A,B} must be the same size and have the same filename, e.g., /path/to/data/A/train/1.jpg is considered to correspond to /path/to/data/B/train/1.jpg.

Once the data is formatted this way, call:

python datasets/combine_A_and_B.py --fold_A /path/to/data/A --fold_B /path/to/data/B --fold_AB /path/to/data

This will combine each pair of images (A,B) into a single image file, ready for training.
