training sets and inputs

Post by siliconunit »

Hi!,

Great project! getting decent results,(1080 8gb / ryzen 7), and my face B is homemade HD filming.
I 've got a couple of questions thought!:

  1. Can I increase the number of A or B faces on the fly? ie stop the training, update the folders, that's it ? (I'm using Villain)

2.Once I train face A and face B , is there a way to recycle the face B training part ?

Hello and welcome!

Your first question is answered here:
app.php/faqpage#f3r4

As to the second, it is possible to just replace the "A" data, to recycle "B", but this usually results in identity leak, so it's best to start a new model with your required pair.

Awesome! I missed that bit !:)
What about gray-scale images, are they a good thing or will get confusing?

Thanks!

FYI - I've tried all greyscale images as one of the faces for training, result was poor (color wise and sharpness wise) swapping on a color video at 250k iters, original model. B&W images were also of poor quality due to being extracted from a film from the 1930's.

All greyscale/poor quality on one side is not-ideal and will almost always lead to failure. This is due to the inability for the model to learn sufficient information from the poor quality source data.
