A Deep Learning based project for creating line art portraits

“he amazing results that the model has produced has a secret sauce to it. The initial model couldn’t create the sort of output I was expecting, it mostly struggled with recognizing facial features. Even though (https://github.com/yiranran/APDrawingGAN) produced great results it had limitations like (frontal face photo similar to ID photo, preferably with clear face features, no glasses and no long fringe.) I wanted to break-in and produce results that could recognize any pose. Achieving proper lines around the face, eyes, lips and nose depends on the data you give the model. APDrawing dataset alone was not enough so I had to combine selected photos from Anime sketch colorization pair dataset. The combined dataset helped the model to learn the lines better.”
