• Abstract: In this work, we study the image transformation problem by learning the underlying transformations from a collection of images using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Specifically, we propose an unsupervised learning framework, termed as TrGAN, to project images onto a transformation space that is shared by the generator and the discriminator. Any two points in this projected space define a transformation that can guide the image generation process, leading to continuous semantic change. By projecting a pair of images onto the transformation space, we are able to adequately extract the semantic variation between them and further apply the extracted semantic to facilitating image editing, including not only transferring image styles (e.g., changing day to night) but also manipulating image contents (e.g., adding clouds in the sky). Code and models are available at https://genforce.github.io/trgan.

  StyleGAN2 was demonstrated to be a powerful image generation engine that supports semantic editing. We present a per-image optimization method that tunes a StyleGAN2 generator such that it achieves a local edit to the generator's weights. Our experiments show a sizable gap in performance over the current state of the art in this very active domain.

  In Computer Vision (CV), many problems can be regarded as the image transformation task, e.g., semantic segmentation and style transfer. Some surveys only review the research on style transfer or image-to-image translation, all of which are just a branch of image transformation. This paper proposes a novel learning framework including Independent learning, Guided learning, and Cooperative learning.

  We propose FlexIT, a novel method which can take any input image and a user-defined text instruction for editing. First, FlexIT combines the input image and text into a single target point in the CLIP multimodal embedding space. We iteratively transform the input image toward the target point, ensuring coherence and quality with a variety of novel regularization terms.

  We aim to better understand the semantic representation of GANs, and enable semantic control in GAN's generation process. We find that a well-trained GAN encodes image semantics in its internal feature maps in a surprisingly simple way. We propose two few-shot image editing approaches, namely Semantic-Conditional Sampling and Semantic Image Editing.

• Image-to-image Mapping with Many Domains by Sparse Attribute Transfer [71.28847881318013]
  Unsupervised image-to-image translation consists of learning a pair of mappings between two domains without known pairwise correspondences between points. Current convention is to approach this task with cycle-consistent GANs. We propose an alternate approach that directly restricts the generator to performing a simple sparse transformation in a latent layer.

• In-Domain GAN Inversion for Real Image Editing [56.924323432048304]
  A common practice of feeding a real image to a trained GAN generator is to invert it back to a latent code. Existing inversion methods typically focus on reconstructing the target image by pixel values yet fail to land the inverted code in the semantic domain of the original latent space. We propose an in-domain GAN inversion approach, which faithfully reconstructs the input image and ensures the inverted code to be semantically meaningful for editing.
