Image-Generator

Pytorch implementation of DCGAN described in the "Unsupervised Rrepesentation Learning with Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks" paper by Radford et. al. to generate fake images of any given image dataset.

  • Train on your custom dataset in Google Colab, checkout this notebook

  • Easily train on any image datasets and generate new images, checkout Getting Started.

  • Some pertained models are available for test, checkout How to Use Pretrained Models for Training & Image Generation

  • Learn More About GAN and DCGAN

  • Check Out performance of the default architecture here

How to Use

Train From Scratch

Use From Terminal

$ python train.py --dataroot PATH_TO_DATASET --num_epochs 25

Access as Module in Python

>>> from DCGAN import train
>>> img_list, G_losses, D_losses = train(dataroot='PATH_TO_DATASET', num_epochs=25)

Training Parameters

- dataroot Required; Path of source image dataset
- netD=None;  Path to pretrained/checkpoint of discriminator network file. If not provided training will start from scratch.
- netG=None; Path to pretrained/checkpoint of generator network file. If not provided, training will start from scratch.
- workers=2; Number of workers for dataloading
- batch_size=128; Batch Size for GAN training
- image_size=64; Height-width of the generated image
- nc=3; Number of channels in output image
- nz=100; Size of latent vector z; output of generator
- ngf=64; Size of feature maps in generator
- ndf=64; Size of features maps in discriminator
- num_epochs=5; Number of Epochs for training
- lr=0.0002; Learning Rate
- beta1=0.5; Beta 1 value for Adam Optimizer
- ngpu=1; Number of GPUs to use
- save_every=5; Make a checkpoint after each save_every epoch
- outputD='checkpoints/netD.pth'; Path where discriminator model will be saved/checkpoint
- outputG='checkpoints/netG.pth'; Path where generator model will be saved/checkpoint

Training with Pretrained Models or Resuming Training

Simply provide netG & netD (Path to pretrained/checkpoint of network file) values for training and it'll start training from there.

By default, checkpoints are made in checkpoints/netG.pth & checkpoints/netD.pth

$ python train.py --dataroot PATH_TO_DATASET --netG PATH_TO_PRETRAINED_G_MODEL --netD PATH_TO_PRETRAINED_D_MODEL 
>>> from DCGAN import train
>>> train(dataroot='PATH_TO_DATASET', netG='PATH_TO_PRETRAINED_G_MODEL', netD='PATH_TO_PRETRAINED_D_MODEL') 

Generate Images

Pretrained Models for Celeba & Flower datasets are available in the pretrained_models directory.

Use From Terminal

$ python generate.py --netG PATH_TO_GENERATOR_MODEL --n 64

Access as Module in Python

>>> from DCGAN import generate
>>> generate(netG= 'PATH_TO_GENERATOR_MODEL', n=64)

Parameters

- netG Required; Path to pretrained/checkpoint of generator network file which will be used to generate images.
- n=64; Number of Images to be generated
- nc=3; Number of channels in output image
- nz=100; Size of latent vector z; output of generator
- ngf=64; Size of feature maps in generator
- ngpu=1; Number of GPUs to use
- output_path='output/fake.png'; Path where generated images will be saved

What is GAN

Generative Adversial Networks are Neural Nets that can generate data from scratch. In general, GAN comprises of one discriminator and one generator network. Generator networks generates new data points and discriminator checks if the generated data point is fake or real. So essentially both networks work as adverseries to beat each other: Generator attempts to fool Discriminator, Discriminator attempts to catch Generator. An ideal stop condition in training these nets would be when discriminator outputs 0.50 probability of being real for any given real or generated fake images.

What is DCGAN?

DCGAN Architecture [Image Taken from the referenced paper by Radford et. al]

Deep Convolutional Generative Adversial Network (DCGAN) is a type of Generative Adversial Network (GAN) that explicitly uses Convolutional and Convolution Transpose layers in discriminator and generator networks respectively. Above is the architecture of the default DGCAN model implemented in this project.
