Use cases

Scenery

Food

Indoor Scenes

People

More Images Are Shown In The Supplementary Materials

Online demo

• Some kind people made online demo for this project
• Demo link: https://cartoonize-lkqov62dia-de.a.run.app/cartoonize
• Code: https://github.com/experience-ml/cartoonize
• Sample Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqduSLcmhto&feature=emb_title

Prerequisites

• Training code: Linux or Windows
• NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN for performance
• Inference code: Linux, Windows and MacOS

How To Use

Installation

• Assume you already have NVIDIA GPU and CUDA CuDNN installed
• Install tensorflow-gpu, we tested 1.12.0 and 1.13.0rc0
• Install scikit-image==0.14.5, other versions may cause problems

Inference with Pre-trained Model

• Store test images in /test_code/test_images
• Run /test_code/cartoonize.py
• Results will be saved in /test_code/cartoonized_images

Train

• Place your training data in corresponding folders in /dataset
• Run pretrain.py, results will be saved in /pretrain folder
• Run train.py, results will be saved in /train_cartoon folder
• Codes are cleaned from production environment and untested
• There may be minor problems but should be easy to resolve
• Pretrained VGG_19 model can be found at following url: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j0jDENjdwxCDb36meP6-u5xDBzmKBOjJ/view?usp=sharing

Datasets

• Due to copyright issues, we cannot provide cartoon images used for training
• However, these training datasets are easy to prepare
• Scenery images are collected from Shinkai Makoto, Miyazaki Hayao and Hosoda Mamoru films
• Clip films into frames and random crop and resize to 256x256
• Portrait images are from Kyoto animations and PA Works
• We use this repo(https://github.com/nagadomi/lbpcascade_animeface) to detect facial areas
• Manual data cleaning will greatly increace both datasets quality
