Multimodal Arbitrary Style Transfer

The official implementation of the ICASSP paper "A simple way of multimodal and arbitrary style transfer".

Requirements

Theano

neuralnet

Usages

Training

Dataset

Download the MS COCO 2017 train and valid sets here. Put all the downloaded folders into a folder.

Next download the Wikiart train/test dataset. Also put the train/test split csv files into the downloaded folder

Training

First, download the trained normalized VGG weight here.

We bootstrap the network from a trained AdaIN. To train an AdaIN model in Theano, please see here. We provide a trained AdaIN weight here. Put all the weight files into the project root.

To train a network using the default settings, use

python train.py path/to/COCO-train-valid-root path/to/WikiArt

Testing

To test the network, prepare a folder of input images, a folder of style images, and a pretrained model. A trained model can be downloaded here. Then execute

python test.py path/to/input/images path/to/style/images/ path/to/a/trained/weight/file

By default, the script will generate 5 images/style. User --help to see more options.
