• Abstract: Utilizing the trained model under different conditions without data annotation is attractive for robot applications. Towards this goal, one class of methods is to translate the image style from another environment to the one on which models are trained. In this paper, we propose a weakly-paired setting for the style translation, where the content in the two images is aligned with errors in poses. These images could be acquired by different sensors in different conditions that share an overlapping region, e.g. with LiDAR or stereo cameras, from sunny days or foggy nights. We consider this setting to be more practical with: (i) easier labeling than the paired data; (ii) better interpretability and detail retrieval than the unpaired data. To translate across such images, we propose PREGAN to train a style translator by intentionally transforming the two images with a random pose, and to estimate the given random pose by differentiable non-trainable pose estimator given that the more aligned in style, the better the estimated result is. Such adversarial training enforces the network to learn the style translation, avoiding being entangled with other variations. Finally, PREGAN is validated on both simulated and real-world collected data to show the effectiveness. Results on down-stream tasks, classification, road segmentation, object detection, and feature matching show its potential for real applications. https://github.com/wrld/PRoGAN

  Deep neural networks that achieve remarkable performance in image classification can be easily fooled by tiny transformations. We show that these approaches still fall short in robustly handling 'natural' image translations that simulate a subtle change in camera orientation. We present Robust Inference by Crop Selection: a simple method that can be proven to achieve any desired level of consistency.

  Current encoder-based approaches significantly impair the text controllability of text-to-image models while transferring styles. We introduce DEADiff to address this issue using the following two strategies. DEAiff attains the best visual stylization results and optimal balance between the text controllability inherent in the text-to-image model and style similarity to the reference image.

  Image-to-image translation aims to preserve source contents while translating to discriminative target styles between two visual domains. In this paper, we propose to deploy an energy-based model (EBM) in the latent space of a pretrained autoencoder for this task. Our model is the first to be applicable to 1024$times$1024-resolution unpaired image translation.

We demonstrate that our framework enables one-sided translation in the unpaired image-to-image translation setting, while improving quality and reducing training time.
