StudioGAN is a Pytorch library providing implementations of representative Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for conditional/unconditional image generation. StudioGAN aims to offer an identical playground for modern GANs so that machine learning researchers can readily compare and analyze a new idea.

Moreover, StudioGAN provides an unprecedented-scale benchmark for generative models. The benchmark includes results from GANs (BigGAN-Deep, StyleGAN-XL), auto-regressive models (MaskGIT, RQ-Transformer), and Diffusion models (LSGM++, CLD-SGM, ADM-G-U).

News

• Our new paper "StudioGAN: A Taxonomy and Benchmark of GANs for Image Synthesis" is made public on arXiv.
• StudioGAN provides implementations of 7 GAN architectures, 9 conditioning methods, 4 adversarial losses, 13 regularization modules, 3 differentiable augmentations, 8 evaluation metrics, and 5 evaluation backbones.
• StudioGAN supports both clean and architecture-friendly metrics (IS, FID, PRDC, IFID) with a comprehensive benchmark.
• StudioGAN provides wandb logs and pre-trained models (will be ready soon).

Release Notes (v.0.4.0)

• We checked the reproducibility of implemented GANs.
• We provide Baby, Papa, and Grandpa ImageNet datasets where images are processed using the anti-aliasing and high-quality resizer.
• StudioGAN provides a dedicatedly established Benchmark on standard datasets (CIFAR10, ImageNet, AFHQv2, and FFHQ).
• StudioGAN supports InceptionV3, ResNet50, SwAV, DINO, and Swin Transformer backbones for GAN evaluation.

Features

• Coverage: StudioGAN is a self-contained library that provides 7 GAN architectures, 9 conditioning methods, 4 adversarial losses, 13 regularization modules, 6 augmentation modules, 8 evaluation metrics, and 5 evaluation backbones. Among these configurations, we formulate 30 GANs as representatives.
• Flexibility: Each modularized option is managed through a configuration system that works through a YAML file, so users can train a large combination of GANs by mix-matching distinct options.
• Reproducibility: With StudioGAN, users can compare and debug various GANs with the unified computing environment without concerning about hidden details and tricks.
• Plentifulness: StudioGAN provides a large collection of pre-trained GAN models, training logs, and evaluation results.
• Versatility: StudioGAN supports 5 types of acceleration methods with synchronized batch normalization for training: a single GPU training, data-parallel training (DP), distributed data-parallel training (DDP), multi-node distributed data-parallel training (MDDP), and mixed-precision training.

Quick Start

Before starting, users should login wandb using their personal API key.

wandb login PERSONAL_API_KEY

From release 0.3.0, you can now define which evaluation metrics to use through -metrics option. Not specifying option defaults to calculating FID only. i.e. -metrics is fid calculates only IS and FID and -metrics none skips evaluation.

• Train (-t) and evaluate IS, FID, Prc, Rec, Dns, Cvg (-metrics is fid prdc) of the model defined in CONFIG_PATH using GPU 0.

Training GANs

StudioGAN supports the training of 30 representative GANs from DCGAN to StyleGAN3-r.

We used different scripts depending on the dataset and model, and it is as follows:

CIFAR10

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 src/main.py -t -hdf5 -l -std_stat -std_max STD_MAX -std_step STD_STEP -metrics is fid prdc -ref "train" -cfg CONFIG_PATH -data DATA_PATH -save SAVE_PATH -mpc --post_resizer "friendly" --eval_backbone "InceptionV3_tf"

CIFAR10 using StyleGAN2/3

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 src/main.py -t -hdf5 -l -metrics is fid prdc -ref "train" -cfg CONFIG_PATH -data DATA_PATH -save SAVE_PATH -mpc --post_resizer "friendly" --eval_backbone "InceptionV3_tf"

Baby/Papa/Grandpa ImageNet and ImageNet

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python3 src/main.py -t -hdf5 -l -sync_bn -std_stat -std_max STD_MAX -std_step STD_STEP -metrics is fid prdc -ref "train" -cfg CONFIG_PATH -data DATA_PATH -save SAVE_PATH -mpc --pre_resizer "lanczos" --post_resizer "friendly" --eval_backbone "InceptionV3_tf"

AFHQv2

export MASTER_ADDR="localhost"
export MASTER_PORT=8888
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python3 src/main.py -t -metrics is fid prdc -ref "train" -cfg CONFIG_PATH -data DATA_PATH -save SAVE_PATH -mpc --pre_resizer "lanczos" --post_resizer "friendly" --eval_backbone "InceptionV3_tf"

FFHQ

export MASTER_ADDR="localhost"
export MASTER_PORT=8888
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 python3 src/main.py -t -metrics is fid prdc -ref "train" -cfg CONFIG_PATH -data DATA_PATH -save SAVE_PATH -mpc --pre_resizer "lanczos" --post_resizer "friendly" --eval_backbone "InceptionV3_tf"

Metrics

StudioGAN supports Inception Score, Frechet Inception Distance, Improved Precision and Recall, Density and Coverage, Intra-Class FID, Classifier Accuracy Score. Users can get Intra-Class FID, Classifier Accuracy Score scores using -iFID, -GAN_train, and -GAN_test options, respectively.

Users can change the evaluation backbone from InceptionV3 to ResNet50, SwAV, DINO, or Swin Transformer using --eval_backbone ResNet50_torch, SwAV_torch, DINO_torch, or Swin-T_torch option.

In addition, Users can calculate metrics with clean- or architecture-friendly resizer using --post_resizer clean or friendly option.

1. Inception Score (IS)

Inception Score (IS) is a metric to measure how much GAN generates high-fidelity and diverse images. Calculating IS requires the pre-trained Inception-V3 network. Note that we do not split a dataset into ten folds to calculate IS ten times.

2. Frechet Inception Distance (FID)

FID is a widely used metric to evaluate the performance of a GAN model. Calculating FID requires the pre-trained Inception-V3 network, and modern approaches use Tensorflow-based FID. StudioGAN utilizes the PyTorch-based FID to test GAN models in the same PyTorch environment. We show that the PyTorch based FID implementation provides almost the same results with the TensorFlow implementation (See Appendix F of ContraGAN paper).

3. Improved Precision and Recall (Prc, Rec)

Improved precision and recall are developed to make up for the shortcomings of the precision and recall. Like IS, FID, calculating improved precision and recall requires the pre-trained Inception-V3 model. StudioGAN uses the PyTorch implementation provided by developers of density and coverage scores.

4. Density and Coverage (Dns, Cvg)

Density and coverage metrics can estimate the fidelity and diversity of generated images using the pre-trained Inception-V3 model. The metrics are known to be robust to outliers, and they can detect identical real and fake distributions. StudioGAN uses the authors' official PyTorch implementation, and StudioGAN follows the author's suggestion for hyperparameter selection.

Benchmark

※ We always welcome your contribution if you find any wrong implementation, bug, and misreported score.

We report the best IS, FID, Improved Precision & Recall, and Density & Coverage of GANs.

To download all checkpoints reported in StudioGAN, Please click here (will be ready soon).

You can evaluate the checkpoint by adding -ckpt CKPT_PATH option with the corresponding configuration path -cfg CORRESPONDING_CONFIG_PATH.

1. GANs from StudioGAN

The resolutions of CIFAR10, Baby ImageNet, Papa ImageNet, Grandpa ImageNet, ImageNet, AFHQv2, and FQ are 32, 64, 64, 64, 128, 512, and 1024, respectively.

We use the same number of generated images as the training images for Frechet Inception Distance (FID), Precision, Recall, Density, and Coverage calculation. For the experiments using Baby/Papa/Grandpa ImageNet and ImageNet, we exceptionally use 50k fake images against a complete training set as real images.

All features and moments of reference datasets can be downloaded via features and moments.

2. Other generative models

The resolutions of ImageNet-128 and ImageNet 256 are 128 and 256, respectively.

All images used for Benchmark can be downloaded via One Drive (will be uploaded soon).

Evaluating pre-saved image folders

• Evaluate IS, FID, Prc, Rec, Dns, Cvg (-metrics is fid prdc) of image folders (already preprocessed) saved in DSET1 and DSET2 using GPUs (0,...,N).

• Evaluate IS, FID, Prc, Rec, Dns, Cvg (-metrics is fid prdc) of image folder saved in DSET2 using pre-computed features (--dset1_feats DSET1_FEATS), moments of dset1 (--dset1_moments DSET1_MOMENTS), and GPUs (0,...,N).

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,...,N python3 src/evaluate.py -metrics is fid prdc --dset1_feats DSET1_FEATS --dset1_moments DSET1_MOMENTS --dset2 DSET2

• Evaluate friendly-IS, friendly-FID, friendly-Prc, friendly-Rec, friendly-Dns, friendly-Cvg (-metrics is fid prdc --post_resizer friendly) of image folders saved in DSET1 and DSET2 through DistributedDataParallel using GPUs (0,...,N).
