MC-GAN train/test

• Download our gray-scale 10K font data set:

./datasets/download_font_dataset.sh Capitals64

../datasets/Capitals64/test_dict/dict.pkl makes observed random glyphs be similar at different test runs on Capitals64 dataset. It is a dictionary with font names as keys and random arrays containing indices from 0 to 26 as their values. Lengths of the arrays are equal to the number of non-observed glyphs in each font.

../datasets/Capitals64/BASE/Code New Roman.0.0.png is a fixed simple font used for training the conditional GAN in the End-to-End model.

• Download our collected in-the-wild font data set (downloaded from http://www6.flamingtext.com/All-Logos):

./datasets/download_font_dataset.sh public_web_fonts

Given a few letters of font ${DATA} for examples 5 letters {T,O,W,E,R}, training directory ${DATA}/A should contain 5 images each with dimension 64x(64x26)x3 where 5 - 1 = 4 letters are given and the rest are zeroed out. Each image should be saved as ${DATA}_${IND}.png where ${IND} is the index (in [0,26) ) of the letter omitted from the observed set. Training directory ${DATA}/B contains images each with dimension 64x64x3 where only the omitted letter is given. Image names are similar to the ones in ${DATA}/A though. ${DATA}/A/test/${DATA}.png contains all 5 given letters as a 64x(64x26)x3-dimensional image. Structure of the directories for above real-world fonts (including only a few observed letters) is as follows. One can refer to the examples in ../datasets/public_web_fonts for more information.

../datasets/public_web_fonts
                      └── ${DATA}/
                          ├── A/
                          │  ├──train/${DATA}_${IND}.png
                          │  └──test/${DATA}.png
                          └── B/
                             ├──train/${DATA}_${IND}.png
                             └──test/${DATA}.png

• (Optional) Download our synthetic color gradient font data set:

./datasets/download_font_dataset.sh Capitals_colorGrad64

• Train Glyph Network:

./scripts/train_cGAN.sh Capitals64

Model parameters will be saved under ./checkpoints/GlyphNet_pretrain.

• Test Glyph Network after specific numbers of epochs (e.g. 400 by setting EPOCH=400 in ./scripts/test_cGAN.sh):

./scripts/test_cGAN.sh Capitals64

• (Optional) View the generated images (e.g. after 400 epochs):

cd ./results/GlyphNet_pretrain/test_400/

If you are running the code in your local machine, open index.html. If you are running remotely via ssh, on your remote machine run:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8881

Then on your local machine, start an SSH tunnel: ssh -N -f -L localhost:8881:localhost:8881 remote_user@remote_host Now open your browser on the local machine and type in the address bar:

localhost:8881

• (Optional) Plot loss functions values during training, from MC-GAN directory:

python util/plot_loss.py --logRoot ./checkpoints/GlyphNet_pretrain/

• Train End-to-End network (e.g. on DATA=ft37_1): You can train Glyph Network following instructions above or download our pre-trained model by running:

./pretrained_models/download_cGAN_models.sh

Now, you can train the full model:

./scripts/train_StackGAN.sh ${DATA}

• Test End-to-End network:

./scripts/test_StackGAN.sh ${DATA}

results will be saved under ./results/${DATA}_MCGAN_train.

• (Optional) Make a video from your results in different training epochs:

First, train your model and save model weights in every epoch by setting opt.save_epoch_freq=1 in scripts/train_StackGAN.sh. Then test in different epochs and make the video by:

./scripts/make_video.sh ${DATA}

Follow the previous steps to visualize generated images and training curves where you replace GlyphNet_train with ${DATA}_StackGAN_train.

Training/test Details

• Flags: see options/train_options.py, options/base_options.py and options/test_options.py for explanations on each flag.

• Baselines: if you want to use this code to get results of Image Translation baseline or want to try tiling glyphs rather than stacking, refer to the end of scripts/train_cGAN.sh . If you only want to train OrnaNet on top of clean glyphs, refer to the end of scripts/train_StackGAN.sh.

• Image Dimension: We have tried this network only on 64x64 images of letters. We do not scale and crop images since we set both opt.FineSize and opt.LoadSize to 64.
