• Authors: Peiye Zhuang, Oluwasanmi Koyejo, Alexander G. Schwing
• Abstract summary: Controllable semantic image editing enables a user to change entire image attributes with few clicks. Current approaches often suffer from attribute edits that are entangled, global image identity changes, and diminished photo-realism. We propose quantitative evaluation strategies for measuring controllable editing performance, unlike prior work which primarily focuses on qualitative evaluation.

• Abstract: Controllable semantic image editing enables a user to change entire image attributes with few clicks, e.g., gradually making a summer scene look like it was taken in winter. Classic approaches for this task use a Generative Adversarial Net (GAN) to learn a latent space and suitable latent-space transformations. However, current approaches often suffer from attribute edits that are entangled, global image identity changes, and diminished photo-realism. To address these concerns, we learn multiple attribute transformations simultaneously, we integrate attribute regression into the training of transformation functions, apply a content loss and an adversarial loss that encourage the maintenance of image identity and photo-realism. We propose quantitative evaluation strategies for measuring controllable editing performance, unlike prior work which primarily focuses on qualitative evaluation. Our model permits better control for both single- and multiple-attribute editing, while also preserving image identity and realism during transformation. We provide empirical results for both real and synthetic images, highlighting that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance for targeted image manipulation.

• A Compact and Semantic Latent Space for Disentangled and Controllable Image Editing [4.8201607588546]
  We propose an auto-encoder which re-organizes the latent space of StyleGAN, so that each attribute which we wish to edit corresponds to an axis of the new latent space. We show that our approach has greater disentanglement than competing methods, while maintaining fidelity to the original image with respect to identity.

  We consider the targeted image editing problem: blending a region in a source image with a driver image that specifies the desired change. We propose a self-supervised approach that simulates edits by augmenting off-the-shelf images in a target domain. We show that different blending effects can be learned by an intuitive control of the augmentation process, with no other changes required to the model architecture.

• Expanding the Latent Space of StyleGAN for Real Face Editing [4.1715767752637145]
  A surge of face editing techniques have been proposed to employ the pretrained StyleGAN for semantic manipulation. To successfully edit a real image, one must first convert the input image into StyleGAN's latent variables. We present a method to expand the latent space of StyleGAN with additional content features to break down the trade-off between low-distortion and high-editability.

Our work ensures that the identity of the reconstructed image is the same as the given input image. We further generate semantic modifications over the reconstructed image by using the latent space of the pre-trained styleALAE model.

• Semantic Photo Manipulation with a Generative Image Prior [86.01714863596347]
  GANs are able to synthesize images conditioned on inputs such as user sketch, text, or semantic labels. It is hard for GANs to precisely reproduce an input image. In this paper, we address these issues by adapting the image prior learned by GANs to image statistics of an individual image. Our method can accurately reconstruct the input image and synthesize new content, consistent with the appearance of the input image.

  We aim at transforming an image with a fine-grained category to synthesize new images that preserve the identity of the input image. We adopt a model based on generative adversarial networks to disentangle the identity related and unrelated factors of an image. Experiments on the CompCars and Multi-PIE datasets demonstrate that our model preserves the identity of the generated images much better than the state-of-the-art image-to-image transformation models.
