Background manipulation

[tamirgold]

i am trying to get set modification for plain background, i choose many images with a plain background and many negative images with artifacts on the background but the outcome is not so good , what am i doing wrong
my cmd looks like this (i have to modify the "_save_images" code because the output file name was too long)

python manipulation.py test --batch_size 8 --seed 1 --num_samples 16 --resize 256 --save_type grid --start_factor -3 --max_factor 6 --num_factors 5 --build_mdfc_way paired_delta --latent1 ./seed.z --ids1 28,138,140,152,174,173,191,193,223,238,239,236,233,251,248,258,260,263,268,274,295,293,308,305,318,315,321,328,337,345,352,353,366,376,381,400,422,432,456,462,467,472,494 --latent2 ./seed.z --ids2 1,4,7,3,9,8,14,15,22,23,27,29,31,32,37,39,41,47,52,55,56,60,61,67,72,75,77,79,99,118,116,112,127,125,124,126,131,133,135,136,141,147,149,150,151,144,157,155,154,164,166,167,162,187,190,189,194,195,198,206,221 --layers 12 --rules "(ric[0]>0.2)"

1. There are many parameters that can be adjusted, such as rules, layers. e.g.--layers 9,11,12 --rules "ric[0]>0.1"
2. After getting an acceptable combination of parameters, it can be further optimized to get the style vector for editing features, as described here: optimizate-to-find-the-style-vector-for-manipulating-feature-maps
