# Encoding in Style: a StyleGAN Encoder for Image-to-Image Translation



  



  




  



> We present a generic image-to-image translation framework, pixel2style2pixel (pSp). 

Our pSp framework is based on a novel encoder network that directly generates a series of style vectors which are fed into a pretrained StyleGAN generator, 

forming the extended W+ latent space. We first show that our encoder can directly embed real images into W+, with no additional optimization.

Next, we propose utilizing our encoder to directly solve image-to-image translation tasks, defining them as encoding problems from some input domain into the 

latent domain. By deviating from the standard "invert first, edit later" methodology used with previous StyleGAN encoders, our approach can handle a variety of 

tasks even when the input image is not represented in the StyleGAN domain. We show that solving translation tasks through StyleGAN significantly simplifies the training process, as no adversary is required, has better support 

>for solving tasks without pixel-to-pixel correspondence, and inherently supports multi-modal synthesis via the resampling of styles. 

Finally, we demonstrate the potential of our framework on a variety of facial image-to-image translation tasks, even when compared to state-of-the-art solutions designed specifically for a single task, and further show that it can be extended beyond the human facial domain. 










The proposed pixel2style2pixel framework can be used to solve a wide variety of image-to-image translation tasks. Here we show results of pSp on StyleGAN inversion, multi-modal conditional image synthesis, facial frontalization, inpainting and super-resolution.




## Description   

Official Implementation of our pSp paper for both training and evaluation. The pSp method extends the StyleGAN model to 

allow solving different image-to-image translation problems using its encoder.

## Applications

### StyleGAN Encoding

Here, we use pSp to find the latent code of real images in the latent domain of a pretrained StyleGAN generator. 










### Face Frontalization

In this application we want to generate a front-facing face from a given input image. 










### Conditional Image Synthesis

Here we wish to generate photo-realistic face images from ambiguous sketch images or segmentation maps. Using style-mixing, we inherently support multi-modal synthesis for a single input.










### Super Resolution

Given a low-resolution input image, we generate a corresponding high-resolution image. As this too is an ambiguous task, we can use style-mixing to produce several plausible results.










## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Linux or macOS

- NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN (CPU may be possible with some modifications, but is not inherently supported)

- Python 2 or 3



### Installation

- Clone this repo:

``` 

git clone https://github.com/eladrich/pixel2style2pixel.git

cd pixel2style2pixel

```

- Dependencies:  

We recommend running this repository using [Anaconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/). 

All dependencies for defining the environment are provided in `environment/psp_env.yaml`.



### Inference Notebook

To help visualize the pSp framework on multiple tasks and to help you get started, we provide a Jupyter notebook found in `notebooks/inference_playground.ipynb` that allows one to visualize the various applications of pSp.   

The notebook will download the necessary pretrained models and run inference on the images found in `notebooks/images`.  

For the tasks of conditional image synthesis and super resolution, the notebook also demonstrates pSp's ability to perform multi-modal synthesis using 

style-mixing.

By default, we assume that all auxiliary models are downloaded and saved to the directory `pretrained_models`. However, you may use your own paths by changing the necessary values in `configs/path_configs.py`. 



## Training

### Preparing your Data

- Currently, we provide support for numerous datasets and experiments (encoding, frontalization, etc.).

    - Refer to `configs/paths_config.py` to define the necessary data paths and model paths for training and evaluation. 

    - Refer to `configs/transforms_config.py` for the transforms defined for each dataset/experiment. 

    - Finally, refer to `configs/data_configs.py` for the source/target data paths for the train and test sets

      as well as the transforms.

- If you wish to experiment with your own dataset, you can simply make the necessary adjustments in 

    1. `data_configs.py` to define your data paths.

    2. `transforms_configs.py` to define your own data transforms.

    

As an example, assume we wish to run encoding using ffhq (`dataset_type=ffhq_encode`). 

We first go to `configs/paths_config.py` and define:

``` 

dataset_paths = {

    'ffhq': '/path/to/ffhq/images256x256'

    'celeba_test': '/path/to/CelebAMask-HQ/test_img',

}

```

The transforms for the experiment are defined in the class `EncodeTransforms` in `configs/transforms_config.py`.   

Finally, in `configs/data_configs.py`, we define:

``` 

DATASETS = {

   'ffhq_encode': {

        'transforms': transforms_config.EncodeTransforms,

        'train_source_root': dataset_paths['ffhq'],

        'train_target_root': dataset_paths['ffhq'],

        'test_source_root': dataset_paths['celeba_test'],

        'test_target_root': dataset_paths['celeba_test'],

    },

}

``` 

When defining our datasets, we will take the values in the above dictionary.



### Training pSp

The main training script can be found in `scripts/train.py`.   

Intermediate training results are saved to `opts.exp_dir`. This includes checkpoints, train outputs, and test outputs.  

Additionally, if you have tensorboard installed, you can visualize tensorboard logs in `opts.exp_dir/logs`.

### Additional Notes

- See `options/train_options.py` for all training-specific flags. 

- See `options/test_options.py` for all test-specific flags.

- If you wish to resume from a specific checkpoint (e.g. a pretrained pSp model), you may do so using `--checkpoint_path`.

- By default, we assume that the StyleGAN used outputs images at resolution `1024x1024`. If you wish to use a StyleGAN at a smaller resolution, you can do so by using the flag `--output_size` (e.g., `--output_size=256`). 

- If you wish to generate images from segmentation maps, please specify `--label_nc=N`  and `--input_nc=N` where `N` 

is the number of semantic categories. 

- Similarly, for generating images from sketches, please specify `--label_nc=1` and `--input_nc=1`.

- Specifying `--label_nc=0` (the default value), will directly use the RGB colors as input.



** Identity/Similarity Losses **   

In pSp, we introduce a facial identity loss using a pre-trained ArcFace network for facial recognition. When operating on the human facial domain, we 

highly recommend employing this loss objective by using the flag `--id_lambda`.  

In a more recent paper, [encoder4editing](https://github.com/omertov/encoder4editing), the authors generalize this identity loss to other domains by 

using a MoCo-based ResNet to extract features instead of an ArcFace network.

Applying this MoCo-based similarity loss can be done by using the flag `--moco_lambda`. We recommend setting `--moco_lambda=0.5` in your experiments.  

Please note, you cannot set both `id_lambda` and `moco_lambda` to be active simultaneously (e.g., to use the MoCo-based loss, you should specify, 

`--moco_lambda=0.5 --id_lambda=0`).



### Weights & Biases Integration

To help track your experiments, we've integrated [Weights & Biases](https://wandb.ai/home) into our training process. 

To enable Weights & Biases (`wandb`), first make an account on the platform's webpage and install `wandb` using 

`pip install wandb`. Then, to train pSp using `wandb`, simply add the flag `--use_wandb`. 



Note that when running for the first time, you will be asked to provide your access key which can be accessed via the

Weights & Biases platform. 



Using Weights & Biases will allow you to visualize the training and testing loss curves as well as 

intermediate training results.



## Testing

### Inference

Having trained your model, you can use `scripts/inference.py` to apply the model on a set of images.   

For example, 

```

python scripts/inference.py \

--exp_dir=/path/to/experiment \

--checkpoint_path=experiment/checkpoints/best_model.pt \

--data_path=/path/to/test_data \

--test_batch_size=4 \

--test_workers=4 \

--couple_outputs

```

Additional notes to consider: 

- During inference, the options used during training are loaded from the saved checkpoint and are then updated using the 

test options passed to the inference script. For example, there is no need to pass `--dataset_type` or `--label_nc` to the 

 inference script, as they are taken from the loaded `opts`.

- When running inference for segmentation-to-image or sketch-to-image, it is highly recommend to do so with a style-mixing,

as is done in the paper. This can simply be done by adding `--latent_mask=8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17` when calling the 

script.

- When running inference for super-resolution, please provide a single down-sampling value using `--resize_factors`.

- Adding the flag `--couple_outputs` will save an additional image containing the input and output images side-by-side in the sub-directory

`inference_coupled`. Otherwise, only the output image is saved to the sub-directory `inference_results`.

- By default, the images will be saved at resolutiosn of 1024x1024, the original output size of StyleGAN. If you wish to save 

outputs resized to resolutions of 256x256, you can do so by adding the flag `--resize_outputs`.



### Multi-Modal Synthesis with Style-Mixing

Given a trained model for conditional image synthesis or super-resolution, we can easily generate multiple outputs 

for a given input image. This can be done using the script `scripts/style_mixing.py`.    

For example, running the following command will perform style-mixing for a segmentation-to-image experiment:

```

python scripts/style_mixing.py \

--exp_dir=/path/to/experiment \

--checkpoint_path=/path/to/experiment/checkpoints/best_model.pt \

--data_path=/path/to/test_data/ \

--test_batch_size=4 \

--test_workers=4 \

--n_images=25 \

--n_outputs_to_generate=5 \

--latent_mask=8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17

``` 

Here, we inject `5` randomly drawn vectors and perform style-mixing on the latents `[8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]`.  



Additional notes to consider: 

- To perform style-mixing on a subset of images, you may use the flag `--n_images`. The default value of `None` will perform 

style mixing on every image in the given `data_path`. 

- You may also include the argument `--mix_alpha=m` where `m` is a float defining the mixing coefficient between the 

input latent and the randomly drawn latent.

- When performing style-mixing for super-resolution, please provide a single down-sampling value using `--resize_factors`.

- By default, the images will be saved at resolutiosn of 1024x1024, the original output size of StyleGAN. If you wish to save 

outputs resized to resolutions of 256x256, you can do so by adding the flag `--resize_outputs`.



### Computing Metrics

Similarly, given a trained model and generated outputs, we can compute the loss metrics on a given dataset.  

These scripts receive the inference output directory and ground truth directory.

- Calculating the identity loss: 

```

python scripts/calc_id_loss_parallel.py \

--data_path=/path/to/experiment/inference_outputs \

--gt_path=/path/to/test_images \

```

- Calculating LPIPS loss:

```

python scripts/calc_losses_on_images.py \

--mode lpips

--data_path=/path/to/experiment/inference_outputs \

--gt_path=/path/to/test_images \

```

- Calculating L2 loss:

```

python scripts/calc_losses_on_images.py \

--mode l2

--data_path=/path/to/experiment/inference_outputs \

--gt_path=/path/to/test_images \

```



## Additional Applications

To better show the flexibility of our pSp framework we present additional applications below.



As with our main applications, you may download the pretrained models here: 

| Path | Description

| :--- | :----------

|[Toonify](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YKoiVuFaqdvzDP5CZaqa3k5phL-VDmyz/view)  | pSp trained with the FFHQ dataset for toonification using StyleGAN generator from [Doron Adler](https://linktr.ee/Norod78) and [Justin Pinkney](https://www.justinpinkney.com/).



### Toonify

Using the toonify StyleGAN built by [Doron Adler](https://linktr.ee/Norod78) and [Justin Pinkney](https://www.justinpinkney.com/),

we take a real face image and generate a toonified version of the given image. We train the pSp encoder to directly reconstruct real 

face images inside the toons latent space resulting in a projection of each image to the closest toon. We do so without requiring any labeled pairs

or distillation!










This is trained exactly like the StyleGAN inversion task with several changes:   

- Change from FFHQ StyleGAN to toonifed StyleGAN (can be set using `--stylegan_weights`)

    - The toonify generator is taken from [Doron Adler](https://linktr.ee/Norod78) and [Justin Pinkney](https://www.justinpinkney.com/) 

      and converted to Pytorch using [rosinality's](https://github.com/rosinality/stylegan2-pytorch) conversion script.

    - For convenience, the converted generator Pytorch model may be downloaded [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r3XVCt_WYUKFZFxhNH-xO2dTtF6B5szu/view?usp=sharing).

- Increase `id_lambda` from `0.1` to `1`  

- Increase `w_norm_lambda` from `0.005` to `0.025`  



We obtain the best results after around `6000` iterations of training (can be set using `--max_steps`)

## Inspired by pSp

Below are several works inspired by pSp that we found particularly interesting:  



**Reverse Toonification**  

Using our pSp encoder, artist [Nathan Shipley](https://linktr.ee/nathan_shipley) transformed animated figures and paintings into real life. Check out his amazing work on his [twitter page](https://twitter.com/citizenplain?lang=en) and [website](http://www.nathanshipley.com/gan).

Check out his repository [here](https://github.com/justinpinkney/pixel2style2pixel).



**Encoder4Editing (e4e)**   

Building on the work of pSp, Tov et al. design an encoder to enable high quality edits on real images. Check out their [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.02766) and [code](https://github.com/omertov/encoder4editing).



**Style-based Age Manipulation (SAM)**  

Leveraging pSp and the rich semantics of StyleGAN, SAM learns non-linear latent space paths for modeling the age transformation of real face images. Check out the project page [here](https://yuval-alaluf.github.io/SAM/).



**ReStyle**  

ReStyle builds on recent encoders such as pSp and e4e by introducing an iterative refinment mechanism to gradually improve the inversion of real images. Check out the project page [here](https://yuval-alaluf.github.io/restyle-encoder/).
