Create a Personalized AI Portrait on Huawei Cloud ModelArts in 5 Simple Steps

Valentine’s Day is approaching, and you can surprise your loved one with a custom AI‑generated portrait using Huawei Cloud ModelArts.

Step 1: Environment Setup

Enter the U‑2‑Net portrait generation page on ModelArts and configure the environment. The case uses PyTorch 1.4.0 and a GPU.

Framework: PyTorch 1.4.0

Hardware: GPU

Select the GPU specification if it defaults to CPU.

Step 2: Download Data and Code

Select the code and run each block with the triangle run button or press Ctrl+Enter. After successful execution, the code appears and the interface shows progress.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Run the dependency‑installation cell; successful execution displays the output.

Step 4: Generate the Portrait

Run the generation cell to produce the portrait.

Step 5: View Results

Replace the input photo in the two indicated locations to see the before‑and‑after results.

import matplotlib.pyplot as
from PIL import Image
if __name__ == '__main__':
    img = Image.open('./test_data/test_portrait_images/portrait_im/image.png')
    transfer_img = Image.open('./test_data/test_portrait_images/portrait_results/image.png')
    plt.figure(figsize=(10,10)) # set window size
    plt.subplot(2, 2, 1)    # two rows, two columns
    plt.imshow(img)
    plt.subplot(2, 2, 2)    # two rows, two columns
    plt.imshow(transfer_img)
    plt.show()

The whole process requires no prior AI experience; just follow the prompts to deliver a unique Valentine’s gift.
