• Authors: Tanakit Intaniyom, Warinthorn Thananporn, and Kuntpong Woraratpanya
• Abstract summary: We propose a model based on convolutional neural networks to extract outstanding features of images, enlarge those images, and enhance the quality of Anime images. The experimental results indicated that our model successfully enhanced the image quality with a larger image-size when compared with the common existing image enlargement and the original SRCNN method.

• Abstract: Anime is a storytelling medium similar to movies and books. Anime images are a kind of artworks, which are almost entirely drawn by hand. Hence, reproducing existing Anime with larger sizes and higher quality images is expensive. Therefore, we proposed a model based on convolutional neural networks to extract outstanding features of images, enlarge those images, and enhance the quality of Anime images. We trained the model with a training set of 160 images and a validation set of 20 images. We tested the trained model with a testing set of 20 images. The experimental results indicated that our model successfully enhanced the image quality with a larger image-size when compared with the common existing image enlargement and the original SRCNN method.

  We make the first attempt to align diffusion models for image inpainting with human aesthetic standards via a reinforcement learning framework. We train a reward model with a dataset we construct, consisting of nearly 51,000 images annotated with human preferences. Experiments on inpainting comparison and downstream tasks, such as image extension and 3D reconstruction, demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  We develop a text-to-image anime image generative model, called Illustrious, to achieve high resolution, dynamic color range images, and high restoration ability. We focus on three critical approaches for model improvement. First, we delve into the significance of the batch size and dropout control, which enables faster learning of controllable token based concept activations. Second, we increase the training resolution of images, affecting the accurate depiction of character anatomy in much higher resolution, extending its generation capability over 20MP with proper methods.

It is an affirmative answer to whether vanilla autoregressive models, e.g., Llama, without inductive biases on visual signals can achieve state-of-the-art image generation performance if scaling properly.

  We argue that video networks and datasets are not necessary for anime SR due to the repetition use of hand-drawing frames. Instead, we propose an anime image collection pipeline by choosing the least compressed and the most informative frames from the video sources. We evaluate our method through extensive experiments on the public benchmark, showing our method outperforms state-of-the-art anime dataset-trained approaches.

  Training text-to-image models with web scale image-text pairs enables the generation of a wide range of visual concepts from text. These pre-trained models often face challenges when it comes to generating highly aesthetic images. We propose quality-tuning to guide a pre-trained model to exclusively generate highly visually appealing images.

  We revisit the classic example based image super-resolution approaches and come up with a novel generative model for perceptual image super-resolution. We propose a joint image denoising and super-resolution model via Variational AutoEncoder. With the aid of the discriminator, an additional overhead of super-resolution subnetwork is attached to super-resolve the denoised image with photo-realistic visual quality.
