Abstract: Recent studies on StyleGAN show high performance on artistic portrait generation by transfer learning with limited data. In this paper, we explore more challenging exemplar-based high-resolution portrait style transfer by introducing a novel DualStyleGAN with flexible control of dual styles of the original face domain and the extended artistic portrait domain. Different from StyleGAN, DualStyleGAN provides a natural way of style transfer by characterizing the content and style of a portrait with an intrinsic style path and a new extrinsic style path, respectively. The delicately designed extrinsic style path enables our model to modulate both the color and complex structural styles hierarchically to precisely pastiche the style example. Furthermore, a novel progressive fine-tuning scheme is introduced to smoothly transform the generative space of the model to the target domain, even with the above modifications on the network architecture. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of DualStyleGAN over state-of-the-art methods in high-quality portrait style transfer and flexible style control.

Exemplar-Based Style Transfer

Transfer the style of a default Cartoon image onto a default face:

python style_transfer.py

The result cartoon_transfer_53_081680.jpg are saved in the folder .\output\, where 53 is the id of the style image in Cartoon dataset, 081680 is the name of the content face image. An corresponding overview image cartoon_transfer_53_081680_overview.jpg is additionally saved to illustrate the input content image, the encoded content image, the style image (* the style image will be shown only if it is in your folder) and the result:

Specify the style image with --style and --style_id (find the mapping between id and filename here). Specify the filename of the saved images with --name. Specify the weight to adjust the degree of style with --weight. The following script generates the style transfer results in the teaser of the paper.

python style_transfer.py
python style_transfer.py --style cartoon --style_id 10
python style_transfer.py --style caricature --name caricature_transfer --style_id 0 --weight 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
python style_transfer.py --style caricature --name caricature_transfer --style_id 187 --weight 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
python style_transfer.py --style anime --name anime_transfer --style_id 17 --weight 0 0 0 0 0.75 0.75 0.75 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
python style_transfer.py --style anime --name anime_transfer --style_id 48 --weight 0 0 0 0 0.75 0.75 0.75 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Specify the content image with --content. If the content image is not well aligned with FFHQ, use --align_face. For preserving the color style of the content image, use --preserve_color or set the last 11 elements of --weight to all zeros.

python style_transfer.py --content ./data/content/unsplash-rDEOVtE7vOs.jpg --align_face --preserve_color \
       --style arcane --name arcane_transfer --style_id 13 \
       --weight 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

→

Find more options via python style_transfer.py -h

Remarks: The pSp encoder cannot perfectly encode the content image. If the style transfer result more consistent with the content image is desired, one may use latent optimization to better fit the content image or using newer StyleGAN encoders.

Artistic Portrait Generation

Generate random Cartoon face images: (Results are saved in the ./output/ folder)

python generate.py

Specify the style type with --style and the filename of the saved images with --name

python generate.py --style arcane --name arcane_generate

Specify the weight to adjust the degree of style with --weight.

Keep the intrinsic style code, extrinsic color code or extrinsic strcture code fixed using --fix_content, --fix_color and --fix_structure, respectively.

python generate.py --style caricature --name caricature_generate --weight 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 --fix_content

Find more options via python generate.py -h

(3) Training DualStyleGAN

Download the supporting models to the ./checkpoint/ folder:

Model	Description
stylegan2-ffhq-config-f.pt	StyleGAN model trained on FFHQ taken from rosinality.
model_ir_se50.pth	Pretrained IR-SE50 model taken from TreB1eN for ID loss.

Facial Destylization

Step 1 Prepare data. Prepare the dataset in ./data/DatasetName/images/train/. First create lmdb datasets:

python ./model/stylegan/prepare_data.py --out LMDB_PATH --n_worker N_WORKER --size SIZE1,SIZE2,SIZE3,... DATASET_PATH

For example, download 317 Cartoon images into ./data/cartoon/images/train/ and run

python ./model/stylegan/prepare_data.py --out ./data/cartoon/lmdb/ --n_worker 4 --size 1024 ./data/cartoon/images/

Step 2 Fine-tune StyleGAN. Fine-tune StyleGAN in distributed settings

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=N_GPU --master_port=PORT finetune_stylegan.py --batch BATCH_SIZE \
       --ckpt FFHQ_MODEL_PATH --iter ITERATIONS --style DATASET_NAME --augment LMDB_PATH

Take the cartoon dataset for example, run (batch size of 8*4=32 is recommended)

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 --master_port=8765 finetune_stylegan.py --iter 600 --batch 4 --ckpt ./checkpoint/stylegan2-ffhq-config-f.pt --style cartoon --augment ./data/cartoon/lmdb/

The fine-tuned model can be found in ./checkpoint/cartoon/fintune-000600.pt. Intermediate results are saved in ./log/cartoon/.

Step 3 Destylize artistic portraits.

python destylize.py --model_name FINETUNED_MODEL_NAME --batch BATCH_SIZE --iter ITERATIONS DATASET_NAME

Take the cartoon dataset for example, run

python destylize.py --model_name fintune-000600.pt --batch 1 --iter 300 cartoon

The intrinsic and extrinsic style codes are saved in ./checkpoint/cartoon/instyle_code.npy and ./checkpoint/cartoon/exstyle_code.npy, respectively. Intermediate results are saved in ./log/cartoon/destylization/. To speed up destylization, set --batch to large value like 16. For styles severely different from real faces, set --truncation to small value like 0.5 to make the results more photo-realistic (it enables DualStyleGAN to learn larger structrue deformations).

Progressive Fine-Tuning

Stage 1 & 2 Pretrain DualStyleGAN on FFHQ. We provide our pretrained model generator-pretrain.pt at Google Drive or Baidu Cloud (access code: cvpr). This model is obtained by:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=1 --master_port=8765 pretrain_dualstylegan.py --iter 3000 --batch 4 ./data/ffhq/lmdb/

where ./data/ffhq/lmdb/ contains the lmdb data created from FFHQ dataset via ./model/stylegan/prepare_data.py.

Stage 3 Fine-Tune DualStyleGAN on Target Domain. Fine-tune DualStyleGAN in distributed settings

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=N_GPU --master_port=PORT finetune_stylegan.py --iter ITERATIONS \ 
                          --batch BATCH_SIZE --ckpt PRETRAINED_MODEL_PATH --augment DATASET_NAME

The loss term weights can be specified by --style_loss (λ_FM), --CX_loss (λ_CX), --perc_loss (λ_perc), --id_loss (λ_ID) and --L2_reg_loss (λ_reg). λ_ID and λ_reg are suggested to be tuned for each style dataset to achieve ideal performance. Find more options via python finetune_dualstylegan.py -h.

Take the cartoon dataset for example, run (multi-GPU enables a large batch size of 8*4=32 for better performance):

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 --master_port=8765 finetune_dualstylegan.py --iter 1500 --batch 4 --ckpt ./checkpoint/generator-pretrain.pt --style_loss 0.25 --CX_loss 0.25 --perc_loss 1 --id_loss 1 --L2_reg_loss 0.015 --augment cartoon

The fine-tuned models can be found in ./checkpoint/cartoon/generator-ITER.pt where ITER = 001000, 001100, ..., 001500. Intermediate results are saved in ./log/cartoon/. Large ITER has strong cartoon styles but at the cost of artifacts, users may select the most balanced one from 1000-1500. In the paper, we use 1400.

(optional) Latent Optimization and Sampling

Refine extrinsic style code. Refine the color and structure styles to better fit the example style images.

python refine_exstyle.py --lr_color COLOR_LEARNING_RATE --lr_structure STRUCTURE_LEARNING_RATE DATASET_NAME

By default, the code will load instyle_code.npy, exstyle_code.npy and generator.pt in ./checkpoint/DATASET_NAME/. Use --instyle_path, --exstyle_path, --ckpt to specify other saved style codes or models. Take the cartoon dataset for example, run:

python refine_exstyle.py --lr_color 0.1 --lr_structure 0.005 --ckpt ./checkpoint/cartoon/generator-001400.pt cartoon

The refined extrinsic style codes are saved in ./checkpoint/DATASET_NAME/refined_exstyle_code.npy. lr_color and lr_structure are suggested to be tuned to better fit the example styles.

Training sampling network. Train a sampling network to map unit Gaussian noises to the distribution of extrinsic style codes:

python train_sampler.py DATASET_NAME

By default, the code will load refined_exstyle_code.npy or exstyle_code.npy in ./checkpoint/DATASET_NAME/. Use --exstyle_path to specify other saved extrinsic style codes. The saved model can be found in ./checkpoint/DATASET_NAME/sampler.pt.
