The main aim of the project is to create amazing line art portraits.
Sounds Intresting,let's get to the pictures!!

Lets cartoonize the lineart portraits, its still in the making but have a look at some pretty pictures.

The amazing results that the model has produced has a secret sauce to it. The initial model couldn't create the sort of output I was expecting, it mostly struggled with recognizing facial features. Even though (https://github.com/yiranran/APDrawingGAN) produced great results it had limitations like (frontal face photo similar to ID photo, preferably with clear face features, no glasses and no long fringe.) I wanted to break-in and produce results that could recognize any pose. Achieving proper lines around the face, eyes, lips and nose depends on the data you give the model. APDrawing dataset alone was not enough so I had to combine selected photos from Anime sketch colorization pair dataset. The combined dataset helped the model to learn the lines better.
The movie poster was created using ArtLine in no time , it's not as good as it should be but I'm not an artist.
Self-Attention (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.08318). Generator is pretrained UNET with spectral normalization and self-attention. Something that I got from Jason Antic's DeOldify(https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify), this made a huge difference, all of a sudden I started getting proper details around the facial features.
Progressive Resizing (https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10196),(https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.02921.pdf). Progressive resizing takes this idea of gradually increasing the image size, In this project the image size were gradually increased and learning rates were adjusted. Thanks to fast.ai for intrdoucing me to Progressive resizing, this helps the model to generalise better as it sees many more different images.
Generator Loss : Perceptual Loss/Feature Loss based on VGG16. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.08155.pdf).
Surprise!! No critic,No GAN. GAN did not make much of a difference so I was happy with No GAN.
The mission was to create something that converts any personal photo into a line art. The initial efforts have helped to recognize lines, but still the model has to improve a lot with shadows and clothes. All my efforts are to improve the model and make line art a click away.
Anime sketch colorization pair dataset
APDrawing data set consits of mostly close-up portraits so the model would struggle to recogonize cloths,hands etc. For this purpose selected images from Anime sketch colorization pair were used.
I hope I was clear, going forward would like to improve the model further as it still struggles with random backgrounds(I'm creating a custom dataset to address this issue). Cartoonizing the image was never part of the project, but somehow it came up and it did okay!! Still lots to improve. Ill release the cartoonize model when it looks impressive enough to show off.
I will be constantly upgrading the project for the foreseeable future.
The easiest way to get started is to simply try out on Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/github/vijishmadhavan/Light-Up/blob/master/ArtLine(Try_it_on_Colab).ipynb
This project is built around the wonderful Fast.AI library.
Getting great output depends on Lighting, Backgrounds,Shadows and the quality of photos. You'll mostly get good results in the first go but there are chances for issues as well. The model is not there yet, it still needs to be tweaked to reach out to all the consumers. It might be useful for "AI Artisits/ Artists who can bring changes to the final output.
The model confuses shadows with hair, something that I'm trying to solve.
It does bad with low quality images(below 500px).
I'm not a coder, bear with me for the bad code and documentation. Will make sure that I improve with upcoming updates.

The code is inspired from Fast.AI's Lesson 7 and DeOldify (https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify), Please have look at the Lesson notebook (https://github.com/fastai/course-v3/blob/master/nbs/dl1/lesson7-superres-gan.ipynb)
Thanks to (https://github.com/yiranran/APDrawingGAN) for the amazing dataset.
