Hello, I'm Jack.
When I was a child, I was actually a little artistic. I liked watching Naruto and seven dragon beads. Although I didn't learn painting, I also drew a lot of works clumsily.
I specially asked my mother to take out the little broken book I have collected for many years and share my childhood happiness.
I can't remember what I painted in the first grade of primary school. I only remember that one painting was a small half day, and I took it to school to show off.
Now, let me pick up a pencil and draw a sketch, I can't draw it.
However, I found another way and used the algorithm. I lbw, it's not on!
Anime2Sketch
Anime2Sketch is a sketch extractor for animation, comics, illustration and other art works.
Give me a work of art and I'll turn it directly into a sketch:
Sketch works copied in 1 second:
Anime2Sketch algorithm is also very simple. It is an UNet structure. To generate sketch works, you can see its network structure:
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import functools
class UnetGenerator(nn.Module):
"""Create a Unet-based generator"""
def __init__(self, input_nc, output_nc, num_downs, ngf=64, norm_layer=nn.BatchNorm2d, use_dropout=False):
"""Construct a Unet generator
Parameters:
input_nc (int) -- the number of channels in input images
output_nc (int) -- the number of channels in output images
num_downs (int) -- the number of downsamplings in UNet. For example, # if |num_downs| == 7,
image of size 128x128 will become of size 1x1 # at the bottleneck
ngf (int) -- the number of filters in the last conv layer
norm_layer -- normalization layer
We construct the U-Net from the innermost layer to the outermost layer.
It is a recursive process.

Project address: https://github.com/Mukosame/Anime2Sketch
Environment deployment is also very simple. You only need to install the following three libraries:
torch>=0.4.1 torchvision>=0.2.1 Pillow>=6.0.0
Then download the weight file.
The weight file is placed on Google drive. For your convenience, I have packed the code, weight file and some test images.
Directly download and run (extraction code: a7r4):
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1h6bqgphqUUjj4fz61Y9HCA
Enter the project root directory and directly run the command:
python3 test.py --dataroot test_samples --load_size 512 --output_dir results
Operation effect:
"Painting" is very fast. I found some pictures on the Internet for testing.
Naruto and Dai Tu:
Conan and ash Hara:
Ramble
Before using the algorithm:
Such a sketch has no soul!
After using the algorithm:
I took some pictures of real people and tested them. It was found that the effect was very poor. Sure enough, the lines of real people were still more complex.
