./calvin_gan.py <--- main file containing the GAN model to train and for inference
./merge_image_and_text.ipynb <--- script to merge the GAN images and text file
./metrics.ipynb <--- Notebook to generate metrics on the dataset
./pdf_to_png.py <--- script to split pdf file of comics to png images
./split_page_to_panels.py <--- script to split png images in 4 to get only panels

• The files should be run in the order: pdf_to_png.py split_page_to_panels.py calvin_gan.py merge_image_and_text.ipynb metrics.ipynb

• GPU IS REQUIRED.

• Training takes ~80 hours.

• The training script saves files to a "weights" directory.

foo@bar:~$ conda env create --name calvin -f calvin.yaml
foo@bar:~$ conda activate calvin

• Download weights bellow

foo@bar:~$ python calvin_gan.py generate 10

foo@bar:~$ python pdf_to_png.py
foo@bar:~$ python split_page_to_panels.py
foo@bar:~$ python calvin_gan.py train

For metrics and merging text and images look at the notebooks

foo@bar:~$ jupyter notebook
