I add the rename_model.py to the download link below.
Download link: here. The code is exactly the same I used in my demo website. (Sorry, I do not have time to polish it...)
Simplified tutorial: Using the function getInputPhoto and processImg in the TF.py
There are too many people asked me to release the code even the code is not polished and is ugly as me. Therefore, I put my ugly code and the data here. I also provide the supervised code. There are a lot of unnecessary parts in the code. I will refactor the code ASAP. Regarding the data, I put the name of the images we used on MIT-Adobe FiveK dataset. I directly used Lightroom to decode the images to TIF format and used Lightroom to resize the long side of the images to 512 resolution (The label images are from retoucher C). I am not sure whether I have right to release the HDR dataset we collected from Flickr so I put the ID of them. You can download the images according to the IDs. (The code was run on 0.12 version of TensorFlow. The A-WGAN part in the code did not implement decreasing the lambda since the initial lambda was relatively small in that case.)
Some useful issues: #6, #16, #18, #24, #27, #38, #39

This paper proposes three improvements: global U-Net, adaptive WGAN (A-WGAN) and individual batch normalization (iBN). They generally improve results; and for some applications, the improvement is sufficient for crossing the bar and leading to success. We have applied them to some other applications.

| For global U-Net, we applied it to trimap segmentation for pets using the Oxford-IIIT Pet dataset. The accuracies of U-Net and global U-Net are 0.8759 and 0.8905 respectively. | |||

| With different λ values, WGAN-GP could succeed or fail. The proposed A-WGAN is less dependent with λ and succeeded with all three λ values. | |||
