• Abstract: Universal style transfer (UST) infuses styles from arbitrary reference images into content images. Existing methods, while enjoying many practical successes, are unable of explaining experimental observations, including different performances of UST algorithms in preserving the spatial structure of content images. In addition, methods are limited to cumbersome global controls on stylization, so that they require additional spatial masks for desired stylization. In this work, we provide a systematic Fourier analysis on a general framework for UST. We present an equivalent form of the framework in the frequency domain. The form implies that existing algorithms treat all frequency components and pixels of feature maps equally, except for the zero-frequency component. We connect Fourier amplitude and phase with Gram matrices and a content reconstruction loss in style transfer, respectively. Based on such equivalence and connections, we can thus interpret different structure preservation behaviors between algorithms with Fourier phase. Given the interpretations we have, we propose two manipulations in practice for structure preservation and desired stylization. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments demonstrate the competitive performance of our method against the state-of-the-art methods. We also conduct experiments to demonstrate (1) the abovementioned equivalence, (2) the interpretability based on Fourier amplitude and phase and (3) the controllability associated with frequency components.

• The Empirical Watershed Wavelet [0.0]
  In this paper, we provide theoretical results that permits us to build 2D empirical wavelet filters based on an arbitrary partitioning of the frequency domain. We also propose an algorithm to detect such partitioning from an image spectrum by combining a scale-space representation to estimate the position of dominant harmonic modes and a watershed transform.

  Conventional wisdom dictates that spectral convolutional networks may only be deployed on undirected graphs. Here we show this traditional reliance on the graph Fourier transform to be superfluous. We provide a frequency-response interpretation of newly developed filters, investigate the influence of the basis used to express filters and discuss the interplay with characteristic operators on which networks are based.
