This paper proposes to learn the natural image manifold directly from data using a generative adversarial neural network, and defines a class of image editing operations, and constrain their output to lie on that learned manifold at all times.
Abstract
Realistic image manipulation is challenging because it requires modifying the image appearance in a user-controlled way, while preserving the realism of the result. Unless the user has considerable artistic skill, it is easy to “fall off” the manifold of natural images while editing. In this paper, we propose to learn the natural image manifold directly from data using a generative adversarial neural network. We then define a class of image editing operations, and constrain their output to lie on that learned manifold at all times. The model automatically adjusts the output keeping all edits as realistic as possible. All our manipulations are expressed in terms of constrained optimization and are applied in near-real time. We evaluate our algorithm on the task of realistic photo manipulation of shape and color. The presented method can further be used for changing one image to look like the other, as well as generating novel imagery from scratch based on user’s scribbles.

Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks

TL;DR: Conditional adversarial networks are investigated as a general-purpose solution to image-to-image translation problems and it is demonstrated that this approach is effective at synthesizing photos from label maps, reconstructing objects from edge maps, and colorizing images, among other tasks.

Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation using Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks

TL;DR: This work presents an approach for learning to translate an image from a source domain X to a target domain Y in the absence of paired examples, and introduces a cycle consistency loss to push F(G(X)) ≈ X (and vice versa).

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.
