Pixel loss may help to enhance fine details and stabilize face color. Use it only if quality does not improve over time.
SAE:
previous SAE model will not work with this update.
Greatly decreased chance of model collapse.
Increased model accuracy.
Residual blocks now default and this option has been removed.
Improved 'learn mask'.
Added masked preview (switch by space key)
Converter:
fixed rct/lct in seamless mode
added mask mode (6) learned*FAN-prd*FAN-dst
added mask editor, its created for refining dataset for FANSeg model, and not for production, but you can spend your time and test it in regular fakes with face obstructions
Fixed bug when SAE can be collapsed during a time.
SAE: removed CA weights and encoder/decoder dims.
added new options:
Encoder dims per channel (21-85 ?:help skip:%d)
More encoder dims help to recognize more facial features, but require more VRAM. You can fine-tune model size to fit your GPU.
Decoder dims per channel (11-85 ?:help skip:%d)
More decoder dims help to get better details, but require more VRAM. You can fine-tune model size to fit your GPU.
Add residual blocks to decoder? (y/n, ?:help skip:n) :
These blocks help to get better details, but require more computing time.
Remove gray border? (y/n, ?:help skip:n) :
Removes gray border of predicted face, but requires more computing resources.
added Intel's plaidML backend to use OpenCL engine. Check new requirements.
smart choosing of backend in device.py
env var 'force_plaidML' can be choosed to forced using plaidML
all tf functions transferred to pure keras
MTCNN transferred to pure keras, but it works slow on plaidML (forced to CPU in this case)
default batch size for all models and VRAMs now 4, feel free to adjust it on your own
SAE: default style options now ZERO, because there are no best values for all scenes, set them on your own.
SAE: return back option pixel_loss, feel free to enable it on your own.
SAE: added option multiscale_decoder default is true, but you can disable it to get 100% same as H,DF,LIAEF model behaviour.
fix converter output to .png
added linux fork reference to doc/doc_build_and_repository_info.md
