中国传统山水画数据集

Paper Title: "End-to-End Chinese Landscape Painting Creation Using Generative Adversarial Networks" ArXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.05552

Abstract: Current GAN-based art generation methods produce unoriginal artwork due to their dependence on conditional input. Here, we propose Sketch-And-Paint GAN (SAPGAN), the first model which generates Chinese landscape paintings from end to end, without conditional input. SAPGAN is composed of two GANs: SketchGAN for generation of edge maps, and PaintGAN for subsequent edge-to-painting translation. Our model is trained on a new dataset of traditional Chinese landscape paintings never before used for generative research. A 242-person Visual Turing Test study reveals that SAPGAN paintings are mistaken as human artwork with 55% frequency, significantly outperforming paintings from baseline GANs. Our work lays a groundwork for truly machine-original art generation.

Sketch-And-Paint GAN, compared with baseline models:

Here, we provide the dataset used to train our Sketch-And-Paint GAN model. The dataset consists of 2,192 high-quality traditional Chinese landscape paintings (中国山水画). All paintings are sized 512x512, from the following sources:

• Princeton University Art Museum, 362 paintings
• Harvard University Art Museum, 101 paintings
• Metropolitan Museum of Art, 428 paintings
• Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art, 1,301 paintings
