In this article, adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) is proposed to align the mean and variance of the content features with those of the style features, which enables arbitrary style transfer in real-time.
Abstract
Gatys et al. recently introduced a neural algorithm that renders a content image in the style of another image, achieving so-called style transfer. However, their framework requires a slow iterative optimization process, which limits its practical application. Fast approximations with feed-forward neural networks have been proposed to speed up neural style transfer. Unfortunately, the speed improvement comes at a cost: the network is usually tied to a fixed set of styles and cannot adapt to arbitrary new styles. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective approach that for the first time enables arbitrary style transfer in real-time. At the heart of our method is a novel adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) layer that aligns the mean and variance of the content features with those of the style features. Our method achieves speed comparable to the fastest existing approach, without the restriction to a pre-defined set of styles. In addition, our approach allows flexible user controls such as content-style trade-off, style interpolation, color & spatial controls, all using a single feed-forward neural network.

A Unified Framework for Generalizable Style Transfer: Style and Content Separation

TL;DR: A unified style transfer framework that consists of style encoder, contentEncoder, mixer and decoder is proposed that enables building one single transfer network for multiple styles and further leads to a key merit of the framework, i.e. its generalizability to new styles and contents.

Generative Adversarial Nets

TL;DR: A new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which two models are simultaneously train: a generative model G that captures the data distribution and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G.
