iGAN (aka. interactive GAN) is the author's implementation of interactive image generation interface described in:
"Generative Visual Manipulation on the Natural Image Manifold"

In European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2016
Given a few user strokes, our system could produce photo-realistic samples that best satisfy the user edits at real-time. Our system is based on deep generative models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and DCGAN. The system serves the following two purposes:
- An intelligent drawing interface for automatically generating images inspired by the color and shape of the brush strokes.
- An interactive visual debugging tool for understanding and visualizing deep generative models. By interacting with the generative model, a developer can understand what visual content the model can produce, as well as the limitation of the model.
We are working on supporting more generative models (e.g. variational autoencoder) and more deep learning frameworks (e.g. Tensorflow). You are welcome to propose new changes or contribute new features (e.g. Tensorflow branch) via pull requests. Please cite our paper if you find this code useful in your research.

- Install the python libraries. (See
Requirements). - Download the code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/junyanz/iGAN
cd iGAN- Download the model. (See
Model Zoofor details):
bash ./models/scripts/download_dcgan_model.sh outdoor_64.dcgan_theano- Run the python script:
THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python iGAN_main.py --model_name outdoor_64The code is written in Python2 and requires the following 3rd party libraries:
- numpy
- OpenCV
sudo apt-get install python-opencv- As an alternative to opencv, you can install scikit-image
sudo pip install -U scikit-imagesudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.gitsudo apt-get install python-qt4sudo pip install qdarkstylesudo pip install dominate- GPU + CUDA + cuDNN: The code is tested on GTX Titan X + CUDA 7.5 + cuDNN 5. Here are the tutorials on how to install CUDA and cuDNN. A decent GPU is required to run the system at real-time. [Warning] If you run the program on a gpu server, you need to use a remote desktop software (e.g. VNC), which may introduce display artifacts and latency problem.
See [Youtube] at 2:18s for the interactive image generation demos.
- Drawing Pad: This is the main window of our interface. A user can apply different edits via our brush tools and the system will display the generated image. Check/Uncheck
Editsbutton to display/hide user edits. - Candidate Results: a display showing thumbnails of all the candidate results (e.g. different modes) that fits the user edits. A user can click a mode (highlighted by a green rectangle), and the drawing pad will show this result.
- Brush Tools:
Coloring Brushfor changing the color of a specific region;Sketching brushfor outlining the shape.Warping brushfor modifying the shape more explicitly. - Slider Bar: drag the slider bar to explore the interpolation sequence between the initial result (i.e. random generated image) and the current result (e.g. image that satisfies the user edits).
- Control Panel:
Play: play the interpolation sequence;Fix: use the current result as additional constraints for further editingRestart: restart the system;Save: save the result to a webpage.Edits: Check the box if you would like to show the edits on top of the generated image.
Coloring Brush: right click to select a color; hold left click to paint; scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the width of the brush.Sketching Brush: hold left click to sketch the shape.Warping Brush: We recommend you first use coloring and sketching before the warping brush. Right click to select a square region; hold left click to drag the region; scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the size of the square region.- Shortcuts: P for
Play, F forFix, R forRestart; S forSave; E forEdits; Q for quitting the program. - Tooltips: when you move the cursor over a button , the system will display the tooltip of the button.
Download the theano DCGAN model (e.g. outdoor_64.dcgan_theano). Before using our system, please check out the random real images vs. DCGAN generated samples to see which kind of images that a model can produce.
bash ./models/scripts/download_dcgan_model.sh outdoor_64.dcgan_theano- ourdoor_64.dcgan_theano (64x64): trained on 150K landscape images from MIT Places dataset [Real vs. DCGAN].
- church_64.dcgan_theano (64x64): trained on 126k church images from the LSUN challenge [Real vs. DCGAN].
- shoes_64.dcgan_theano (64x64): trained on 50K shoes images collected by Yu and Grauman [Real vs. DCGAN].
- handbag_64.dcgan_theano (64x64): trained on 137K handbag images downloaded from Amazon [Real vs. DCGAN].
We provide a simple script to generate samples from a pre-trained DCGAN model. You can run this script to test if Theano, CUDA, cuDNN are configured properly before running our interface.
THEANO_FLAGS='device=gpu0, floatX=float32, nvcc.fastmath=True' python generate_samples.py --model_name outdoor_64 --output_image outdoor_64_dcgan.pngType python iGAN_main.py --help for a complete list of the arguments. Here we discuss some important arguments:
--model_name: the name of the model (e.g. outdoor_64, shoes_64, etc.)--model_type: currently only supports dcgan_theano.--model_file: the file that stores the generative model; If not specified,model_file='./models/%s.%s' % (model_name, model_type)--top_k: the number of the candidate results being displayed
- DCGAN_theano model on new datasets: we will provide a model training script soon (by Sep 25 2016). The script can train a model (e.g. cat_64.dcgan_theano) given a new photo collection. (e.g. cat_photos/)
- New deep generative models based on Theano (e.g. VAE：variational autoencoder): The current design of our software follows: ui python class (e.g.
gui_draw.py) => constrained optimization python class (constrained_opt_theano.py) => deep generative model python class (e.g.dcgan_theano.py). To incorporate your own generative model, you need to create a new python class (e.g.vae_theano.py) undermodel_deffolder with the same interface ofdcgan_theano.py, and specify--model_type vae_theanoin the command line. - Generative models based on another deep learning framework (e.g. Tensorflow): we are working on a tensorflow based optimization class (i.e.
constrained_opt_tensorflow.py) now. Once the code is released, you can create your own tensorflow model class (e.g.dcgan_tensorflow.py) undermodel_deffolder.
