The repository contains the testing codes and pretrained weights for Anime2Sketch.
Anime2Sketch is a sketch extractor that works well on illustration, anime art, and manga. It is an application based on the paper "Adversarial Open Domain Adaption for Sketch-to-Photo Synthesis".
Install the required packages: pip install -r requirements.txt
Please download the weights from GoogleDrive, and put it into the weights/ folder.
python3 test.py --dataroot /your_input/dir --load_size 512 --output_dir /your_output/dir
The above command includes three arguments:
- dataroot: your test file or directory
- load_size: due to the memory limit, we need to resize the input image before processing. By default, we resize it to
512x512
. - output_dir: path of the output directory
Run our example:
python3 test.py --dataroot test_samples/madoka.jpg --load_size 512 --output_dir results/
This project is a sub-branch of AODA. Please check it for the training instructions.
Our model works well on illustration arts:
Turn handrawn photos to clean linearts:
Simplify freehand sketches:
And more anime results:
You can also leave your questions as issues in the repository. I will be glad to answer them!
