Tensorflow implementation for CVPR2020 paper “Learning to Cartoonize Using White-box Cartoon Representations”.

This repo in under construction, now inference code is available, training code will be updated soon

Use cases

Scenery

Food

Indoor Scenes

People

More Images Are Shown In The Supplementary Materials

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

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
