• Authors: Pan Zhang, Bo Zhang, Dong Chen, Lu Yuan, Fang Wen
• Abstract summary: We present a framework for exemplar-based image translation, which synthesizes a photo-realistic image from the input in a distinct domain. The output has the style (e.g., color, texture) in consistency with the semantically corresponding objects in the exemplar. We show that our method is superior to state-of-the-art methods in terms of image quality significantly.

• Abstract: We present a general framework for exemplar-based image translation, which synthesizes a photo-realistic image from the input in a distinct domain (e.g., semantic segmentation mask, or edge map, or pose keypoints), given an exemplar image. The output has the style (e.g., color, texture) in consistency with the semantically corresponding objects in the exemplar. We propose to jointly learn the crossdomain correspondence and the image translation, where both tasks facilitate each other and thus can be learned with weak supervision. The images from distinct domains are first aligned to an intermediate domain where dense correspondence is established. Then, the network synthesizes images based on the appearance of semantically corresponding patches in the exemplar. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in several image translation tasks. Our method is superior to state-of-the-art methods in terms of image quality significantly, with the image style faithful to the exemplar with semantic consistency. Moreover, we show the utility of our method for several applications

  Story visualization aims to generate a sequence of images to narrate each sentence in a multi-sentence story. Current works face the problem of semantic misalignment because of their fixed architecture and diversity of input modalities. We explore the semantic alignment between text and image representations by learning to match their semantic levels in the GAN-based generative model.

  Exemplar-based image translation establishes dense correspondences between a conditional input and an exemplar from two different domains. Existing work builds the cross-domain correspondences implicitly by minimizing feature-wise distances across the two domains. We design a Marginal Contrastive Learning Network (MCL-Net) that explores contrastive learning to learn domain-invariant features for realistic exemplar-based image translation.

  We propose a novel multi-domain unsupervised image-to-image translation (MDUIT) framework.

We show that the proposed method produces visually diverse and plausible results in multiple domains compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

Specifically, we first achieve local-to-local alignment at fragment level, following by performing global-to-local and global-to-global alignment at context level sequentially.

  We address the problem of domain adaptation for semantic segmentation of street scenes. Many state-of-the-art approaches focus on translating the source image while imposing that the result should be semantically consistent with the input. We advocate that the image semantics can also be exploited to guide the translation algorithm.

  In image-to-image translation, each patch in the output should reflect the content of the corresponding patch in the input, independent of domain. We propose a framework based on contrastive learning to maximize mutual information between the two. We demonstrate that our framework enables one-sided translation in the unpaired image-to-image translation setting, while improving quality and reducing training time.
