【Bringing Old Photos Back to Life】How to train?如何训练

1) Create Training File（创建训练文件）

2) Train the VAEs of domain A and domain B respectively（分别训练域A和域B的VAE）

3) Train the mapping network between domains（训练域之间的映射网络）

1) Create Training File（创建训练文件）

Put the folders of VOC dataset（clean images是原始的干净图像（VOC））, collected old photos (e.g., Real_L_old and Real_RGB_old（real_l_old是只有灰度（亮度）的照片集，real_rgb_old是彩色照片集）) into one shared folder. Then

cd Global/data/
python Create_Bigfile.py

Note: Remember to modify the code based on your own environment.

2) Train the VAEs of domain A and domain B respectively（分别训练域A和域B的VAE）

cd ..
python train_domain_A.py --use_v2_degradation --continue_train --training_dataset domain_A --name domainA_SR_old_photos --label_nc 0 --loadSize 256 --fineSize 256 --dataroot [your_data_folder] --no_instance --resize_or_crop crop_only --batchSize 100 --no_html --gpu_ids 0,1,2,3 --self_gen --nThreads 4 --n_downsample_global 3 --k_size 4 --use_v2 --mc 64 --start_r 1 --kl 1 --no_cgan --outputs_dir [your_output_folder] --checkpoints_dir [your_ckpt_folder]python train_domain_B.py --continue_train --training_dataset domain_B --name domainB_old_photos --label_nc 0 --loadSize 256 --fineSize 256 --dataroot [your_data_folder]  --no_instance --resize_or_crop crop_only --batchSize 120 --no_html --gpu_ids 0,1,2,3 --self_gen --nThreads 4 --n_downsample_global 3 --k_size 4 --use_v2 --mc 64 --start_r 1 --kl 1 --no_cgan --outputs_dir [your_output_folder]  --checkpoints_dir [your_ckpt_folder]

Note: For the --name option, please ensure your experiment name contains "domainA" or "domainB", which will be used to select different dataset.

3) Train the mapping network between domains（训练域之间的映射网络）

Train the mapping without scratches:

python train_mapping.py --use_v2_degradation --training_dataset mapping --use_vae_which_epoch 200 --continue_train --name mapping_quality --label_nc 0 --loadSize 256 --fineSize 256 --dataroot [your_data_folder] --no_instance --resize_or_crop crop_only --batchSize 80 --no_html --gpu_ids 0,1,2,3 --nThreads 8 --load_pretrainA [ckpt_of_domainA_SR_old_photos] --load_pretrainB [ckpt_of_domainB_old_photos] --l2_feat 60 --n_downsample_global 3 --mc 64 --k_size 4 --start_r 1 --mapping_n_block 6 --map_mc 512 --use_l1_feat --niter 150 --niter_decay 100 --outputs_dir [your_output_folder] --checkpoints_dir [your_ckpt_folder]

Traing the mapping with scraches:

python train_mapping.py --no_TTUR --NL_res --random_hole --use_SN --correlation_renormalize --training_dataset mapping --NL_use_mask --NL_fusion_method combine --non_local Setting_42 --use_v2_degradation --use_vae_which_epoch 200 --continue_train --name mapping_scratch --label_nc 0 --loadSize 256 --fineSize 256 --dataroot [your_data_folder] --no_instance --resize_or_crop crop_only --batchSize 36 --no_html --gpu_ids 0,1,2,3 --nThreads 8 --load_pretrainA [ckpt_of_domainA_SR_old_photos] --load_pretrainB [ckpt_of_domainB_old_photos] --l2_feat 60 --n_downsample_global 3 --mc 64 --k_size 4 --start_r 1 --mapping_n_block 6 --map_mc 512 --use_l1_feat --niter 150 --niter_decay 100 --outputs_dir [your_output_folder] --checkpoints_dir [your_ckpt_folder] --irregular_mask [absolute_path_of_mask_file]
