1. The release weight of ViT-VQGAN small which is trained on ImageNet at here

1. First release weight of ViT-VQGAN base which is trained on ImageNet at here
2. Add an colab notebook at here

This is an unofficial implementation of both ViT-VQGAN and RQ-VAE in Pytorch. ViT-VQGAN is a simple ViT-based Vector Quantized AutoEncoder while RQ-VAE introduces a new residual quantization scheme. Further details can be viewed in the papers

For the ease of installation, you should use anaconda to setup this repo.

A suitable conda environment named enhancing can be created and activated with:

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate enhancing

Training is easy with one line: python3 main.py -c config_name -lr learning_rate -e epoch_nums
