• Title: GAIT: Gradient Adjusted Unsupervised Image-to-Image Translation
• Authors: Ibrahim Batuhan Akkaya and Ugur Halici
• Abstract summary: An adversarial loss is utilized to match the distributions of the translated and target image sets. This may create artifacts if two domains have different marginal distributions, for example, in uniform areas. We propose an unsupervised IIT that preserves the uniform regions after the translation.

• Abstract: Image-to-image translation (IIT) has made much progress recently with the development of adversarial learning. In most of the recent work, an adversarial loss is utilized to match the distributions of the translated and target image sets. However, this may create artifacts if two domains have different marginal distributions, for example, in uniform areas. In this work, we propose an unsupervised IIT method that preserves the uniform regions after the translation. The gradient adjustment loss, which is the L2 norm between the Sobel response of the target image and the adjusted Sobel response of the source images, is utilized. The proposed method is validated on the jellyfish-to-Haeckel dataset, which is prepared to demonstrate the mentioned problem, which contains images with different background distributions. We demonstrate that our method obtained a performance gain compared to the baseline method qualitatively and quantitatively, showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  A common goal of unpaired image-to-image translation is to preserve content consistency between source images and translated images. We show that masking the inputs of a global discriminator for both domains with a content-based mask is sufficient to reduce content inconsistencies significantly. In our experiments, we show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in photorealistic sim-to-real translation and weather translation.

  Unsupervised image-to-image translation is used to transform images from a source domain to generate images in a target domain without using source-target image pairs. We propose a new method that uses a single shared discriminator between the two GANs, which improves the overall efficacy. Our results indicate that even without adding attention mechanisms, our method performs at par with attention-based methods and generates images of comparable quality.
