clean-fid facilitates calculating the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) for generative models. The project aims to provide a robust and consistent metric for evaluating generative models by addressing inconsistencies in image resizing and JPEG compression, which significantly impact FID scores. By providing a standardized implementation, clean-fid ensures comparable results across different methods and research groups. It leverages established techniques and offers user-friendly interfaces for FID and KID calculations.
clean-fid tackles the challenges of inconsistent image resizing implementations, a known source of error in FID calculations. It addresses the impact of JPEG compression on FID scores, providing insights into the effects of different compression levels. The library offers support for CLIP-based FID calculations and precomputed statistics for various datasets, simplifying the evaluation process. Contribution is also made to KID calculation.
