• Abstract summary: This paper presents an automatic costume image generation method based on image-to-image translation. We present a novel architecture for generative adversarial networks (GANs) to facilitate high-quality cosplay image generation. Experiments demonstrated that, with two types of evaluation metrics, the proposed GAN achieves better performance than existing methods.

• Abstract: Cosplay has grown from its origins at fan conventions into a billion-dollar global dress phenomenon. To facilitate imagination and reinterpretation from animated images to real garments, this paper presents an automatic costume image generation method based on image-to-image translation. Cosplay items can be significantly diverse in their styles and shapes, and conventional methods cannot be directly applied to the wide variation in clothing images that are the focus of this study. To solve this problem, our method starts by collecting and preprocessing web images to prepare a cleaned, paired dataset of the anime and real domains. Then, we present a novel architecture for generative adversarial networks (GANs) to facilitate high-quality cosplay image generation. Our GAN consists of several effective techniques to fill the gap between the two domains and improve both the global and local consistency of generated images. Experiments demonstrated that, with two types of evaluation metrics, the proposed GAN achieves better performance than existing methods. We also showed that the images generated by the proposed method are more realistic than those generated by the conventional methods. Our codes and pretrained model are available on the web.

  Diffusion model-based approaches have recently become popular, as they are excellent at image synthesis tasks. We propose an Texture-Preserving Diffusion (TPD) model for virtual try-on, which enhances the fidelity of the results. Second, we propose a novel diffusion-based method that predicts a precise inpainting mask based on the person and reference garment images.

  We propose a novel framework to translate a portrait photo-face into an anime appearance. Our aim is to synthesize anime-faces which are style-consistent with a given reference anime-face. Existing methods often fail to transfer the styles of reference anime-faces, or introduce noticeable artifacts/distortions in the local shapes of their generated faces.

  Most existing methods train a dehazing model on synthetic hazy images, which are less able to generalize well to real hazy images due to domain shift. We propose a domain adaptation paradigm, which consists of an image translation module and two image dehazing modules. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world images demonstrate that our model performs favorably against the state-of-the-art dehazing algorithms.
