Abstract: A good image-to-image translation model should learn a mapping between different visual domains while satisfying the following properties: 1) diversity of generated images and 2) scalability over multiple domains. Existing methods address either of the issues, having limited diversity or multiple models for all domains. We propose StarGAN v2, a single framework that tackles both and shows significantly improved results over the baselines. Experiments on CelebA-HQ and a new animal faces dataset (AFHQ) validate our superiority in terms of visual quality, diversity, and scalability. To better assess image-to-image translation models, we release AFHQ, high-quality animal faces with large inter- and intra-domain variations. The code, pre-trained models, and dataset are available at clovaai/stargan-v2.

Datasets and pre-trained networks

We provide a script to download datasets used in StarGAN v2 and the corresponding pre-trained networks. The datasets and network checkpoints will be downloaded and stored in the data and expr/checkpoints directories, respectively.

CelebA-HQ. To download the CelebA-HQ dataset and the pre-trained network, run the following commands:

bash download.sh celeba-hq-dataset
bash download.sh pretrained-network-celeba-hq
bash download.sh wing

AFHQ. To download the AFHQ dataset and the pre-trained network, run the following commands:

bash download.sh afhq-dataset
bash download.sh pretrained-network-afhq

Generating interpolation videos

After downloading the pre-trained networks, you can synthesize output images reflecting diverse styles (e.g., hairstyle) of reference images. The following commands will save generated images and interpolation videos to the expr/results directory.

CelebA-HQ. To generate images and interpolation videos, run the following command:

python main.py --mode sample --num_domains 2 --resume_iter 100000 --w_hpf 1 \
               --checkpoint_dir expr/checkpoints/celeba_hq \
               --result_dir expr/results/celeba_hq \
               --src_dir assets/representative/celeba_hq/src \
               --ref_dir assets/representative/celeba_hq/ref

To transform a custom image, first crop the image manually so that the proportion of face occupied in the whole is similar to that of CelebA-HQ. Then, run the following command for additional fine rotation and cropping. All custom images in the inp_dir directory will be aligned and stored in the out_dir directory.

python main.py --mode align \
               --inp_dir assets/representative/custom/female \
               --out_dir assets/representative/celeba_hq/src/female

AFHQ. To generate images and interpolation videos, run the following command:

python main.py --mode sample --num_domains 3 --resume_iter 100000 --w_hpf 0 \
               --checkpoint_dir expr/checkpoints/afhq \
               --result_dir expr/results/afhq \
               --src_dir assets/representative/afhq/src \
               --ref_dir assets/representative/afhq/ref

Evaluation metrics

To evaluate StarGAN v2 using Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity (LPIPS), run the following commands:

# celeba-hq
python main.py --mode eval --num_domains 2 --w_hpf 1 \
               --resume_iter 100000 \
               --train_img_dir data/celeba_hq/train \
               --val_img_dir data/celeba_hq/val \
               --checkpoint_dir expr/checkpoints/celeba_hq \
               --eval_dir expr/eval/celeba_hq

# afhq
python main.py --mode eval --num_domains 3 --w_hpf 0 \
               --resume_iter 100000 \
               --train_img_dir data/afhq/train \
               --val_img_dir data/afhq/val \
               --checkpoint_dir expr/checkpoints/afhq \
               --eval_dir expr/eval/afhq

Note that the evaluation metrics are calculated using random latent vectors or reference images, both of which are selected by the seed number. In the paper, we reported the average of values from 10 measurements using different seed numbers. The following table shows the calculated values for both latent-guided and reference-guided synthesis.

Dataset	FID (latent)	LPIPS (latent)	FID (reference)	LPIPS (reference)	Elapsed time
`celeba-hq`	13.73 ± 0.06	0.4515 ± 0.0006	23.84 ± 0.03	0.3880 ± 0.0001	49min 51s
`afhq`	16.18 ± 0.15	0.4501 ± 0.0007	19.78 ± 0.01	0.4315 ± 0.0002	64min 49s

Training networks

To train StarGAN v2 from scratch, run the following commands. Generated images and network checkpoints will be stored in the expr/samples and expr/checkpoints directories, respectively. Training takes about three days on a single Tesla V100 GPU. Please see here for training arguments and a description of them.

# celeba-hq
python main.py --mode train --num_domains 2 --w_hpf 1 \
               --lambda_reg 1 --lambda_sty 1 --lambda_ds 1 --lambda_cyc 1 \
               --train_img_dir data/celeba_hq/train \
               --val_img_dir data/celeba_hq/val

# afhq
python main.py --mode train --num_domains 3 --w_hpf 0 \
               --lambda_reg 1 --lambda_sty 1 --lambda_ds 2 --lambda_cyc 1 \
               --train_img_dir data/afhq/train \
               --val_img_dir data/afhq/val

Animal Faces-HQ dataset (AFHQ)

We release a new dataset of animal faces, Animal Faces-HQ (AFHQ), consisting of 15,000 high-quality images at 512×512 resolution. The figure above shows example images of the AFHQ dataset. The dataset includes three domains of cat, dog, and wildlife, each providing about 5000 images. By having multiple (three) domains and diverse images of various breeds per each domain, AFHQ sets a challenging image-to-image translation problem. For each domain, we select 500 images as a test set and provide all remaining images as a training set. To download the dataset, run the following command:

bash download.sh afhq-dataset
