Text to Image Synthesis using Generative Adversarial Networks

This is the official code for Text to Image Synthesis using Generative Adversarial Networks.Please be aware that the code is in an experimental stage and it might require some small tweaks.

Images generated by the Conditional Wasserstein GAN

As it can be seen, the generated images do not suffer from mode collapse.

Samples from the birds dataset

How to download the dataset

1. Setup your PYTHONPATH to point to the root directory of the project.
2. Download the preprocessed flowers text descriptionsand extract them in the /data directory.
3. Download the images from Oxford102and extract the images in /data/flowers/jpg. You can alternatively run python preprocess/download_flowers_dataset.py from theroot directory of the project.
4. Run the python preprocess/preprocess_flowers.py script from the root directory of the project.
