Official implementation for paper: A Style-Based GAN Encoder for High Fidelity Reconstruction of Images and Videos.

[Video Editing Results]

Abstract We propose a novel architecture for GAN inversion, which we call Feature-Style encoder. The style encoder is key for the manipulation of the obtained latent codes, while the feature encoder is crucial for optimal image reconstruction. Our model achieves accurate inversion of real images from the latent space of a pre-trained style-based GAN model, obtaining better perceptual quality and lower reconstruction error than existing methods. Thanks to its encoder structure, the model allows fast and accurate image editing. Additionally, we demonstrate that the proposed encoder is especially well-suited for inversion and editing on videos. We conduct extensive experiments for several style-based generators pre-trained on different data domains. Our proposed method yields state-of-the-art results for style-based GAN inversion, significantly outperforming competing approaches.

• Python 3.6
• PyTorch 1.8
• Opencv

You can install a new environment for this repo by running

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate feature_style

• We adapt the StyleGAN2 model implemented by paper Encoding in Style: a StyleGAN Encoder for Image-to-Image Translation. Here is their official implementation.

• Download and save the pretrained models running

  sh download_models.sh
  

• Prepare the training data

  To train the encoder for StyleGAN, we use the synthetic images generated by StyleGAN and also the real images ffhq dataset. You can generate the synthetic images by running

  python generate_imgs.py
  

  and download the ffhq dataset (aligned faces) to data/ffhq-dataset/images/.

• Training

  You can modify the training options of the config file in the directory configs/.

  python train.py --config 001 
  

• Inversion

  You can test the encoder on the images in test/. The output images are saved in output/image/.

  python test.py --pretrained_model_path './pretrained_models/143_enc.pth' --input_path './test/'
  

• Inversion and editing in notebook

  You can explore the encoder and the attribute editing code in notebook inference.ipynb. You can also open it in Google Colab here.

We provide a script to achieve inversion and attribute manipulation for the videos in the test directory data/video/. You can upload your own video and modify the options in run_video_inversion_editing.sh.

sh run_video_inversion_editing.sh
