Step-by-Step Process: Fixing StyleGAN2 Eye Manipulation on CPU

This document outlines the step-by-step process that was followed to fix the StyleGAN2 eye manipulation implementation on CPU, which was initially producing pink/magenta noise instead of proper face images.

Step 1: Problem Analysis

Issue Identification

  • The original implementation was producing random pink/magenta noise instead of proper face images
  • Error messages pointed to tensor dimension mismatches
  • CUDA-specific operations were failing on CPU
  • Pretrained weights weren't loading correctly

Initial Diagnosis

  1. Verified that the issue was related to tensor operations rather than general code structure
  2. Examined tensor dimensions throughout the generation process
  3. Identified missing or incorrectly implemented CPU-specific operations
  4. Checked weight loading and model initialization

Step 2: Implementing CPU-Compatible Operations

2.1 Creating CPU equivalents of CUDA operations

  • Created cpu_ops.py with simplified replacements for CUDA functions: 
    def cpu_upfirdn2d(input, kernel, up=1, down=1, pad=(0, 0)):
    out = input
    if up > 1:
        out = F.interpolate(out, scale_factor=up, mode='nearest')
    if len(pad) > 0:
        pad_sizes = [pad[0], pad[1], pad[0], pad[1]]
        out = F.pad(out, pad_sizes, mode='reflect')
    if down > 1:
        out = F.avg_pool2d(out, down, stride=down)
    return out

2.2 Patching model operations

  • Replaced StyleGAN2's CUDA operations with CPU equivalents: 
    import model
model.upfirdn2d = cpu_upfirdn2d
model.conv2d_gradfix.conv2d = F.conv2d
model.conv2d_gradfix.conv_transpose2d = F.conv_transpose2d
model.NoiseInjection = SafeNoiseInjection
model.ToRGB = SafeToRGB
model.FusedLeakyReLU = CPULeakyReLU
model.fused_leaky_relu = cpu_leaky_relu

Step 3: Fixing Tensor Dimension Issues

3.1 Diagnosing dimension problems

  • Added dimension debugging code: 
    print(f"Latent vector shape: {latent_w.shape}")
print(f"Mean latent shape: {mean_latent.shape}")

3.2 Fixing the generate_face function

  • Updated the function to handle all possible tensor shapes: 
    def generate_face(latent_w=None, noise=None, truncation=0.7, seed=None):
    with torch.no_grad():
        # Get latent vector if not provided
        if latent_w is None:
            latent_w = get_latent_vector(seed=seed, truncation=truncation)
        
        # Handle different latent shape scenarios
        if latent_w.ndim == 3 and latent_w.shape[1] == g_ema.n_latent:
            # Already in correct format [batch_size, n_latent, latent_dim]
            pass
        elif latent_w.ndim == 2:
            # Format is [batch_size, latent_dim]
            latent_w = latent_w.unsqueeze(1).repeat(1, g_ema.n_latent, 1)
        elif latent_w.ndim == 1:
            # Format is [latent_dim]
            latent_w = latent_w.unsqueeze(0).unsqueeze(0).repeat(1, g_ema.n_latent, 1)

3.3 Similar fixes for manipulate_eyes function

  • Updated the eye manipulation function in the same way, with proper dimension handling

Step 4: Improving Weight Loading and Model Initialization

4.1 Creating a robust weight downloading utility

  • Implemented download_models.py to fetch official weights: 
    def download_model(model_name, output_dir="models"):
    url = AVAILABLE_MODELS[model_name]
    output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, f"{model_name}.pkl")
    
    # Download with proper error handling
    response = requests.get(url, stream=True)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        with open(output_path, 'wb') as f:
            for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
                if chunk:
                    f.write(chunk)

4.2 Better weight loading approach

  • Added multiple fallbacks for weight loading: 
    try:
    with open('stylegan2-ffhq-config-f.pkl', 'rb') as f:
        data = pickle.load(f)
        
        if isinstance(data, dict) and 'g_ema' in data:
            # PyTorch format
            g_ema.load_state_dict(data['g_ema'])
        elif isinstance(data, dict) and 'g' in data:
            # TensorFlow format
            # Conversion code for TensorFlow weights
        else:
            # Handle unknown format

Step 5: Creating Pre-computed Eye Feature Directions

5.1 Creating eye direction vectors

  • Defined pre-computed direction vectors for different eye features: 
    # Direction for eye size
EYE_SIZE_DIRECTION = np.array([
    0.0, 0.02, 0.1, 0.04, 0.08, 0.15, 0.2, 0.1, 0.02, 0.01,  # 0-9
    # ... more values ...
])

# Direction for eye openness
EYE_OPENNESS_DIRECTION = np.array([
    # ... values ...
])

5.2 Creating utility functions to use these directions

  • Implemented get_eye_direction and get_combined_eye_direction in eye_directions.py

Step 6: Creating a Simplified Implementation

6.1 Creating a streamlined notebook

  • Developed eye_manipulation_simple.ipynb with:
    • Simplified model initialization
    • CPU-compatible operations
    • Pre-computed eye directions
    • Better error handling

6.2 Adding a direct image processing alternative

  • Created simple_eye_manipulation.py as a fallback solution: 
    def manipulate_eyes_simple(img_array, operation="enlarge", strength=0.5):
    # Simplified eye manipulation using image processing
    # ... image processing code ...

Step 7: Documentation and Integration

7.1 Creating comprehensive documentation

  • Created detailed README files
  • Added TROUBLESHOOTING.md for common issues
  • Added TECHNICAL_DETAILS.md for implementation details

7.2 Creating batch files for easy execution

  • Added run_eye_manipulation_simple.bat for Windows
  • Added run_simple.bat for the direct approach

7.3 Creating diagnostic utilities

  • Added detailed error messages
  • Created functions to inspect tensor shapes
  • Added checks for common issues

Step 8: Testing and Verification

8.1 Testing on CPU-only environment

  • Verified face generation worked correctly
  • Tested eye manipulation with different strengths
  • Tested with different random seeds

8.2 Handling edge cases

  • Tested with different tensor dimensions
  • Added robust error handling
  • Verified operation with different model configurations

Step 9: Final Optimization

9.1 Memory usage improvements

  • Reduced model size to 128x128 for CPU
  • Reduced channel multiplier
  • Added optimized noise generation

9.2 Code quality improvements

  • Added detailed comments
