ArcaneAnimeGAN

AnimeGAN2 trained on Arcane
trying to follow bryandlee animegan2 training methodology

Result

Training Workflow

• Get video data
• Split video into frames
• Align frame image using face-alignment
• Filter blurry image using opencv Laplacian
• Zip image dataset for fit into styleGAN
• Finetune FFHQ pretrained styleGAN using created zip dataset
• Blend findtuned styleGAN weight and pretrained styleGAN weight
• Create data pair using blended styleGAN model and pretrained model
• Train animeGAN using paired data

Change log

• 0.2
  • use anime-face-detector
  • add color correction on data preprocessing
  • add aug_transforms() on batch transform
  • use l1_loss(vgg(g(x)), vgg(y)) and mse_loss(g(x), y) instead of vgg feature loss and gram matrix loss
• 0.1
  • first release

To Do

• Use animegan vgg19[0,255] instead of vgg19_bn[0,1]
• Add canny edge method to gaussigan blur
• Background segmentation
