This is the part of the implementation of "ICface: Interpretable and Controllable Face Reenactment Using GANs" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.01909).

The test code is released now!

:white_check_mark: test_code is updated

**Note**: The implementation and results have improved with the current modifications. The codes are updated in /test_code_released_new/. The checkpoints are also updated and added. Feel free to raise an issue if you face any difficulties in running the updated files.

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.5.4
2. Pytorch 0.4.1
3. Visdom and dominate
4. Natsort

The code is tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Download the Pretrained Weights of ICface Google Drive Link.

Testing ICface

1. Clone the ICface repository and change the working directory to '/test_code_released_new'
2. Keep the pretrained weights inside the path: ./checkpoints/gpubatch_resnet.
3. For the driving video, you can select any video file from voxceleb dataset, extract the action units in a .csv file using Openface and store the .csv file in the working folder. We have provided two such .csv files and thier corresponding driving videos.
4. For the source image, we have selected images from voxceleb test set. Three exampes are given in the folder ./new_crop. More can be obtained from here. In particular the "Cropped Face Images extracted at 1fps" (7.8Gb). The test identities can be downloaded here under the data section.
5. Run in terminal : python test.py --dataroot ./ --model pix2pix --which_model_netG resnet_6blocks --which_direction AtoB --dataset_mode aligned --norm batch --display_id 0 --batchSize 1 --loadSize 128 --fineSize 128 --no_flip --name gpubatch_resnet --how_many 1 --ndf 256 --ngf 128 --which_ref ./new_crop/1.png --gpu_ids 1 --csv_path 00116.csv --results_dir results_video
6. The resuting video will be found in '/test_code_released_new' under the name 'movie.mp4'

If you are not using voxceleb test set

1. In the python file 'image_crop.py', add your image path and run it.
2. It will create a new cropped version of your image and will store in './new_crop' folder. Then follow the above steps to create youe video file.
