bikeGAN

this is the fork of bicycleGAN which is used to train and run GANs for frankenGAN. the interactive system which uses these networks is chordatlas.

running

requirements:

• nvidia GPU (CUDA 8+)
• pytorch 1.4
• watchdog
• visdom
• dominate
• opencv

the entry point is test_interactive.py which listens to the ./input folders for new inputs, and writes them to ./output (these folders should exist). it will download the pre-trained model weights the first time your run it. Once it is running, set chordatlas's bikeGAN file location (in the settings menu) to the bikeGAN root directory (the one containing this file).

alternatively, use the docker container with nvidia-docker. You may need to run the container as the same user who will add the inputs (i.e. without sudo nvidia-docker):

mkdir input output
nvidia-docker run -v $(pwd)/input:/home/user/bikegan/input -v $(pwd)/output:/home/user/bikegan/output -it --rm twak/bikegan
