Abstract We propose a novel method for unsupervised image-to-image translation, which incorporates a new attention module and a new learnable normalization function in an end-to-end manner. The attention module guides our model to focus on more important regions distinguishing between source and target domains based on the attention map obtained by the auxiliary classifier. Unlike previous attention-based methods which cannot handle the geometric changes between domains, our model can translate both images requiring holistic changes and images requiring large shape changes. Moreover, our new AdaLIN (Adaptive Layer-Instance Normalization) function helps our attention-guided model to flexibly control the amount of change in shape and texture by learned parameters depending on datasets. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method compared to the existing state-of-the-art models with a fixed network architecture and hyper-parameters.

Pretrained model

We released 50 epoch and 100 epoch checkpoints so that people could test more widely.

steps:

1. download checkpoint you want to.
2. unzip download file on your cloned remote folder. don't change folder, file names.

Train

> python main.py --phase train
# default phase is test

• If the memory of gpu is not sufficient, set --light to True
  • But it may not perform well
  • paper version is --light to False

RUN on local

> git clone https://github.com/kmswlee/UGATIT
> cd UGATIT
> apt install -y libsm6 libxext6 libxrender-dev
> pip install flask -r requirements-gpu.txt
## if you can't use gpu, use 'requirements.txt'
> python app.py

you can browser http://localhost

RUN on Docker

> git clone https://github.com/kmswlee/UGATIT
> cd UGATIT
> docker build -f Dockerfile.gpu -t ugatit .
> docker run -p 80:80 ugatit

you can browser http://localhost
if you can't use gpu, use Dockerfile not Dockerfile.gpu
