minivision-ai/photo2cartoon
A deep learning project that uses GANs to translate real photos into cartoon-style portraits while preserving identity information.

This project implements a photo-to-cartoon translation system using deep learning and GAN architectures. Based on the U-GAT-IT approach with AdaLIN normalization and attention mechanisms, it performs unpaired image translation without requiring paired training data. The model learns the mapping between real photos and cartoon-style images from unaligned datasets, targeting a realistic cartoon style that balances simplicity with clear identity preservation.
