Sketch2Face

This is the official implementation of paper DeepFacePencil: Creating Face Images from Freehand Sketches. arXiv, Project

Also see another project: Lines2Face project

Prerequisites

PyTorch 1.6, Python 3.7, NumPy, scipy, PIL, tqdm

Data

We use CelebAMask-HQ to obtain synthesized (boundary) sketches. Deformed sketches are generated by vectorizing synthesized sketches using AutoTrace and adding random offsets to endpoints and control points of vectorized strokes.

Pretrained model

GoogleDrive

Test

The test sketches should be put in folder ./datasets/CelebAMask/test_A. The pretrained model should be put in folder ./checkpoints/pretrained. Example script of testing can be found in ./test_scripts.sh. The results are supposed to be in ./results. The deform.pth file is uploaded to Google Drive.
