Overview

Edit face images using a a deep neural network. Users can edit face images using intuitive inputs such as sketching and coloring, from which our network SC-FEGAN generates high quality synthetic images. We used SN-patchGAN discriminator and Unet-like generator with gated convolutional layers.

Dependencies

• tensorflow
• numpy
• Python3
• PyQt5
• opencv-python
• pyyaml

Setup

First, download the model from Google drive.

Run these commands to start the program.

mv /${HOME}/SC-FEGAN.ckpt.* /${HOME}/ckpt/
python3 demo.py

Select the number of GPUs you want to use by editing demo.yaml file (multi-GPUs are not supported).

GPU_NUM: 1 (the number you want to use)
#GPU_NUM: (if you want to use only CPU, erase the number)

How to Use

Edit face images using a simple GUI. Only erased regions of the image are filled in by the network.

Explanation of the buttons:

• Open Image: Open the image you want to edit.
• Mask: Draw a mask on the desired regions of the face on the left viewer.
• Sketches: Sketch the desired lines on the left viewer.
• Color: Draw colored lines. If you click this button the first time, you have to choose a color from the palette.
• Palette: Change color. After choosing a color, click the Color button to apply the change.
• Save Img: Save the results. It is saved as 'name.jpg'.
• Arrange: Arrange the editing works.
• Undo: Undo previous editing work.
• Complete: Generate the image and show it on the right viewer.

We recommend using the following workflow:

1. Draw the sketch plausibly referring to the original image.
2. Draw the mask on the sketched region.
3. Click the `Arrange` button.
4. Draw the color on the masked region.
5. Click `Complete'.
