Project for DIYA Meet-up at Aug 4, 2019.

Goals of this project

1. Implement CartoonGAN and train/test with our data
2. Compare CartoonGAN and CycleGAN
3. Add some components of CartoonGAN to CycleGAN, such as edge smoothed data, and see if image quality improves
4. Further improve CartoonGAN

Result

Presentation (in Korean)

According to FID, CartoonGAN is better than CycleGAN, and our modified CartoonGAN is the best. (FID is smaller if two sets of images are similar)

	CycleGAN	CartoonGAN	CartoonGAN-modified
FID with animation images	108.69	100.30	95.50
FID with photo images	76.13	80.96	81.91

Results of modified CycleGANs are not presented, because they showed little improvement.

Comparison of Generated Images

These are comparison of images generated by CartoonGAN-modified and CartoonGAN. Images generated by CartoonGAN-modified are less blurry and less dark in general.

Images Generated by Our Modified CartoonGAN

Here, we only present images generated with our modified, improved CartoonGAN.

...and some worse generated images...
