The goal of this work is to improve images of traffic scenes that are degraded by natural causes such as fog, rain and limited visibility during the night. For these applications, it is next to impossible to get pixel perfect pairs of the…
Over the last decade, the process of automatic image colorization has been of significant interest for several application areas including restoration of aged or degraded images. This problem is highly ill-posed due to the large degrees of…
The growing availability of digitized art collections has created the need to manage, analyze and categorize large amounts of data related to abstract concepts, highlighting a demanding problem of computer science and leading to new…
Image translation across different domains has attracted much attention in both machine learning and computer vision communities. Taking the translation from source domain $\mathcal{D}_s$ to target domain $\mathcal{D}_t$ as an example,…
Vision Transformers (VTs) are becoming a valuable alternative to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) when it comes to problems involving high-dimensional and spatially organized inputs such as images. However, their Transfer Learning (TL)…
Image-to-image translation models transfer images from input domain to output domain in an endeavor to retain the original content of the image. Contrastive Unpaired Translation is one of the existing methods for solving such problems.…
We propose a new technique for visual attribute transfer across images that may have very different appearance but have perceptually similar semantic structure. By visual attribute transfer, we mean transfer of visual information (such as…
We explore neural painters, a generative model for brushstrokes learned from a real non-differentiable and non-deterministic painting program. We show that when training an agent to "paint" images using brushstrokes, using a differentiable…
Traditional image processing is a field of science and technology developed to facilitate human-centered image management. But today, when huge volumes of visual data inundate our surroundings (due to the explosive growth of image-capturing…
Neural style transfer is an emerging technique which is able to endow daily-life images with attractive artistic styles. Previous work has succeeded in applying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to style transfer for monocular images or…
Recently, the progress of learning-by-synthesis has proposed a training model for synthetic images, which can effectively reduce the cost of human and material resources. However, due to the different distribution of synthetic images…

The painting process of artists is inherently stepwise and varies significantly among different painters and styles. Generating detailed, step-by-step painting processes is essential for art education and research, yet remains largely…
The recent computer graphics developments have upraised the quality of the generated digital content, astonishing the most skeptical viewer. Games and movies have taken advantage of this fact but, at the same time, these advances have…
Image to image translation is the problem of transferring an image from a source domain to a different (but related) target domain. We present a new unsupervised image to image translation technique that leverages the underlying semantic…
Image harmonization aims to produce visually harmonious composite images by adjusting the foreground appearance to be compatible with the background. When the composite image has photographic foreground and painterly background, the task is…
Deep learning algorithms often are trained and deployed on different datasets. Any systematic difference between the training and a test dataset may degrade the algorithm performance--what is known as the domain shift problem. This issue is…
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the state-of-the-art method to learn from image data. However, recent research shows that they may include a texture and colour bias in their representation, contrary to the intuition that…
Deep networks devour millions of precisely annotated images to build their complex and powerful representations. Unfortunately, tasks like autonomous driving have virtually no real-world training data. Repeatedly crashing a car into a tree…
Neural Painters is a class of models that follows a GAN framework to generate brushstrokes, which are then composed to create paintings. GANs are great generative models for AI Art but they are known to be notoriously difficult to train. To…
