GANs for Biological Image Synthesis

This codes implements the ICCV-2017 paper "GANs for Biological Image Synthesis". The paper and its supplementary materials is available on arXiv.

This code contains the following pieces:

  • implementation of DCGAN, WGAN, WGAN-GP
  • implementation of green-on-red separable DCGAN, multi-channel DCGAN, star-shaped DCGAN (see our ICCV 2017 paper for details)
  • implementation of the evaluation techniques: classifier two-samples test and reconstruction of the test set

The code is released under Apache v2 License allowing to use the code in any way you want.
For the license on the LIN dataset, please contact the authors of Dodgson et al. (2017).

As a teaser, we show our final results (animated interpolations that mimic the cell growth cycle) right away:

Requirements

This software was written for python v3.6.1, pytorch v0.2.0 (earlier version won't work; later versions might face some backward compatibility issues, but should work), torchvision v0.1.8 (comes with pytorch).
Many other python packages are required, but the standard Anaconda installation should be sufficient.
The code was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 but should run on other systems as well.

Usage

This code release is aimed to reproduce the results of our ICCV 2017 paper.
The experiments of this paper consist of the 4 main parts:

  • training and evaluating the models on the dataset by the 6 classes merged together
  • computing C2ST (classifier two-sample test) distances between real images of different classes
  • training and evaluating the models that support conditioning on the class labels
  • reconstructing images of the test set

By classes, we mean proteins imaged in the green channel. The 6 selected proteins include Alp14, Arp3, Cki2, Mkh1, Sid2, Tea1.

Note that rerunning all the experiements would require significant computational resources. We recommend using a cluster of GPU if you want to do that.

Preparations

Get the code

git clone https://github.com/aosokin/biogans.git

Mark the root folder for the code

cd biogans
export ROOT_BIOGANS=`pwd`

Download and unpack the dataset (438MB)

wget -P data http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/LIN_Normalized_WT_size-48-80.zip
unzip data/LIN_Normalized_WT_size-48-80.zip -d data

If you are interested, there is a version with twice bigger images here (1.3GB).

Models for 6 classes merged together

Prepare the dataset and splits for evaluation

cd $ROOT_BIOGANS/experiments/models_6class_joint
./make_dataset_size-48-80_6class.sh
python make_splits_size-48-80_6class.py

If you just want to play with the trained models, we've release the ones at iteration 500k. You can dowload the model with these lines:

wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-adam http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-adam/netG_iter_500000.pth
wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-sep-adam http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-sep-adam/netG_iter_500000.pth
wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_gan-adam http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_gan-adam/netG_iter_500000.pth
wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_gan-sep-adam http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_gan-sep-adam/netG_iter_500000.pth
wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_wgan-rmsprop http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_wgan-rmsprop/netG_iter_500000.pth
wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_wgan-sep-rmsprop http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_wgan-sep-rmsprop/netG_iter_500000.pth

If you want to train the models yourself (might take a while), we used these scripts to get the models reported in our paper:

./train_size-48-80_6class_wgangp-adam.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_wgangp-sep-adam.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_gan-adam.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_gan-sep-adam.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_wgan-rmsprop.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_wgan-sep-rmsprop.sh

To perform the full C2ST evaluation presented in Figure 8, generate the job scripts

python make_eval_jobs_size-48-80_6class_fake_vs_real.py
python make_eval_jobs_size-48-80_6class-together_real_vs_real.py

and run all the scripts in jobs_eval_6class_fake_vs_real and jobs_eval_6class-together_real_vs_real. If you are interested in something specific, please, pick the jobs that you want.
After all the jobs run, one can redo our figures with analyze_eval_6class_fake_vs_real.ipynb and make_figures_3and4.ipynb.

C2ST for real vs. real images

Prepare the dataset and splits for evaluation

cd $ROOT_BIOGANS/experiments/real_vs_real
./make_dataset_size-48-80_8class.sh
python make_splits_size-48-80_8class.py
./make_splits_size-48-80_8class_real_vs_real.sh

Prepare all the jobs for evaluation

python make_eval_jobs_size-48-80_8class_real_vs_real.py

and runs all the scripts in jobs_eval_8class_real_vs_real. After this is done, you can reproduce Table 1 with analyze_eval_8class_real_vs_real.ipynb.

Models with conditioning on the class labels

Prepare the dataset and splits for evaluation

cd $ROOT_BIOGANS/experiments/models_6class_conditional
./make_dataset_size-48-80_6class_conditional.sh
./make_splits_size-48-80_6class_conditional.sh

If you just want to play with the trained models, we've release some of them at iteration 50k. You can dowload the model with these lines:

wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-star-shaped-adam http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-star-shaped-adam/netG_iter_50000.pth
wget -P $ROOT_BIOGANS/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-independent-sep-adam http://www.di.ens.fr/sierra/research/biogans/models/size-48-80_6class_wgangp-independent-sep-adam/netG_iter_50000.pth

To train all the models from scratch, please, run these scripts:

./train_size-48-80_6class_wgangp-independent-adam.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_wgangp-independent-sep-adam.sh

./train_size-48-80_6class_wgangp-multichannel-sep-adam.sh
./train_size-48-80_6class_wgangp-star-shaped-adam.sh

To train the multi-channel models, you additionally need to created the cache of nearest neighbors:

python $ROOT_BIOGANS/code/nearest_neighbors.py

Prepare evaluation scripts with

python make_eval_jobs_size-48-80_6class_conditional.py

and run all the scripts in jobs_eval_6class_conditional_fake_vs_real. After all of this is done, you can use analyze_eval_6class_star-shaped_fake_vs_real.ipynb, make_teaser.ipynb to reproduce Table 2 and Figure 1.
The animated vizualizations and Figure 7 are done with cell_cycle_interpolation.ipynb.
