removed TrueFace model.
added SAEv2 model. Differences from SAE:
+ default e_ch_dims is now 21
+ new encoder produces more stable face and less scale jitter
before: https://i.imgur.com/4jUcol8.gifv
after: https://i.imgur.com/lyiax49.gifv - scale of the face is less changed within frame size
+ decoder now has only 1 residual block instead of 2, result is same quality with less decoder size
+ added mid-full face, which covers 30% more area than half face.
+ added option " Enable 'true face' training "
Enable it only after 50k iters, when the face is sharp enough.
the result face will be more like src.
The most src-like face with 'true-face-training' you can achieve with DF architecture.
fixed model sizes from previous update.
avoided bug in ML framework(keras) that forces to train the model on random noise.
Converter: added blur on the same keys as sharpness
Added new model 'TrueFace'. This is a GAN model ported from https://github.com/NVlabs/FUNIT
Model produces near zero morphing and high detail face.
Model has higher failure rate than other models.
Keep src and dst faceset in same lighting conditions.
Session is now saved to the model folder.
blur and erode ranges are increased to -400+400
hist-match-bw is now replaced with seamless2 mode.
Added 'ebs' color transfer mode (works only on Windows).
FANSEG model (used in FAN-x mask modes) is retrained with new model configuration
and now produces better precision and less jitter
if input frames are changed (amount or filenames)
then interactive converter automatically starts a new session.
if model is more trained then all frames will be recomputed again with their saved configs.
ConvertAvatar: fix input image after fix landmarks face align,
VideoEd: video_from_sequence now uses pipe input to input any filenames instead of %.5d. formatted
With interactive converter you can change any parameter of any frame and see the result in real time.
Converter: added motion_blur_power param.
Motion blur is applied by precomputed motion vectors.
So the moving face will look more realistic.
RecycleGAN model is removed.
Added experimental AVATAR model. Minimum required VRAM is 6GB (NVIDIA), 12GB (AMD)
Usage:
1) place data_src.mp4 10-20min square resolution video of news reporter sitting at the table with static background,
other faces should not appear in frames.
2) process "extract images from video data_src.bat" with FULL fps
3) place data_dst.mp4 video of face who will control the src face
4) process "extract images from video data_dst FULL FPS.bat"
5) process "data_src mark faces S3FD best GPU.bat"
6) process "data_dst extract unaligned faces S3FD best GPU.bat"
7) train AVATAR.bat stage 1, tune batch size to maximum for your card (32 for 6GB), train to 50k+ iters.
8) train AVATAR.bat stage 2, tune batch size to maximum for your card (4 for 6GB), train to decent sharpness.
9) convert AVATAR.bat
10) converted to mp4.bat
updated versions of modules
Fixing an issue caused by attempting to sort Path objects. Directly using `<` is unsupported between these, so `sorted()` needs a key specified.
"PurePath" objects support `>` while normal paths do not, causing the confusion.
