5 sourcesThe following instructions are for Linux or macOS. It may work on Windows too, but I'm not very experienced with Windows. No special hardware is required (you can run it on a CPU; no GPU needed).
Install pyenv[0] and pyenv-virtualenv[1]. Clone the repo and set up an environment:
git clone https://github.com/taki0112/UGATIT
cd UGATIT
pyenv install 3.6.10 # [2]
pyenv virtualenv 3.6.10 UGATIT
pyenv local UGATIT
pyenv activate
pip install opencv-python==4.2.0.34 tensorflow==1.14.0
Download the pretrained weights from https://github.com/taki0112/UGATIT/issues/50#issuecomment-53.... Extract them:
tar xf ugatit100.tar.xz
mkdir checkpoint
mv UGATIT_selfie2anime* checkpoint
mkdir -p dataset/selfie2anime/{train,test}{A,B}
Crop your images in a 1:1 aspect ratio so that they contain only the head. Place them in the dataset/se
Read the rest
lfie2anime/testA/ directory. Run the program:
python main.py --dataset selfie2anime --phase test
Open results/*/index.html in your browser to see the results.

I am not promoting one site or another. I did not read the PP of the selfie2anime.com either.
