This paper presents a novel deep-learning framework that significantly enhances the transformation of rudimentary face sketches into high-fidelity colour images. Employing a Convolutional Block Attention-based Auto-encoder Network (CA2N),…
Neural Style Transfer (NST) is concerned with the artistic stylization of visual media. It can be described as the process of transferring the style of an artistic image onto an ordinary photograph. Recently, a number of studies have…
Batch Normalization (BN)(Ioffe and Szegedy 2015) normalizes the features of an input image via statistics of a batch of images and hence BN will bring the noise to the gradient of the training loss. Previous works indicate that the noise is…
Style transfer is the image synthesis task, which applies a style of one image to another while preserving the content. In statistical methods, the adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) whitens the source images and applies the style of…
While text-to-image diffusion models can generate highquality images from textual descriptions, they generally lack fine-grained control over the visual composition of the generated images. Some recent works tackle this problem by training…
Unpaired Image-to-image Translation is a new rising and challenging vision problem that aims to learn a mapping between unaligned image pairs in diverse domains. Recent advances in this field like MUNIT and DRIT mainly focus on…
Modelling human free-hand sketches has become topical recently, driven by practical applications such as fine-grained sketch based image retrieval (FG-SBIR). Sketches are clearly related to photo edge-maps, but a human free-hand sketch of a…
Generating 3D models from face sketches is an active topic of research in Computer Graphics due to its potential to tremendously facilitate the modeling of faces for both professional 3D arists and novices. Motivated by the observation that…
Face recognition has been used more and more in real world applications in recent years. However, when the skin color bias is coupled with intra-personal variations like harsh illumination, the face recognition task is more likely to fail,…
Portrait sketching involves capturing identity specific attributes of a real face with abstract lines and shades. Unlike photo-realistic images, a good portrait sketch generation method needs selective attention to detail, making the…
Deep generative models have shown great promise when it comes to synthesising novel images. While they can generate images that look convincing on a higher-level, generating fine-grained details is still a challenge. In order to foster…
Photo-realistic re-rendering of a human from a single image with explicit control over body pose, shape and appearance enables a wide range of applications, such as human appearance transfer, virtual try-on, motion imitation, and novel view…
Reference-based sketch colorization methods have garnered significant attention for the potential application in animation and digital illustration production. However, most existing methods are trained with image triplets of sketch,…
Images of the eye are key in several computer vision problems, such as shape registration and gaze estimation. Recent large-scale supervised methods for these problems require time-consuming data collection and manual annotation, which can…
As a major branch of Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR), image stylization mainly uses the computer algorithms to render a photo into an artistic painting. Recent work has shown that the extraction of style information such as stroke…
The outpainting results produced by existing approaches are often too random to meet users' requirement. In this work, we take the image outpainting one step forward by allowing users to harvest personal custom outpainting results using…
