• Title: SEM-CS: Semantic CLIPStyler for Text-Based Image Style Transfer
• Authors: Chanda G Kamra, Indra Deep Mastan, Debayan Gupta
• Abstract summary: We propose Semantic CLIPStyler (Sem-CS) that performs semantic style transfer. Sem-CS first segments the content image into salient and non-salient objects and then transfers artistic style based on a given style text description. Our empirical results, including DISTS, NIMA and user study scores, show that our proposed framework yields superior qualitative and quantitative performance.

• Abstract: CLIPStyler demonstrated image style transfer with realistic textures using only the style text description (instead of requiring a reference style image). However, the ground semantics of objects in style transfer output is lost due to style spillover on salient and background objects (content mismatch) or over-stylization. To solve this, we propose Semantic CLIPStyler (Sem-CS) that performs semantic style transfer. Sem-CS first segments the content image into salient and non-salient objects and then transfers artistic style based on a given style text description. The semantic style transfer is achieved using global foreground loss (for salient objects) and global background loss (for non-salient objects). Our empirical results, including DISTS, NIMA and user study scores, show that our proposed framework yields superior qualitative and quantitative performance.

  The goal of image style transfer is to render an image guided by a style reference while maintaining the original content. We introduce FAGStyle, a zero-shot text-guided diffusion image style transfer method. Our approach enhances inter-patch information interaction by incorporating the Sliding Window Crop technique.

  "Soulstyler" allows users to guide the stylization of specific objects in an image through simple textual descriptions. We introduce a large language model to parse the text and identify stylization goals and specific styles. We also introduce a novel localized text-image block matching loss that ensures that style transfer is performed only on specified target objects.

  We propose StylerDALLE, a style transfer method that uses natural language to describe abstract art styles. Specifically, we formulate the language-guided style transfer task as a non-autoregressive token sequence translation. To incorporate style information, we propose a Reinforcement Learning strategy with CLIP-based language supervision.

  Unpaired exemplar-based image-to-image (UEI2I) translation aims to translate a source image to a target image domain with the style of a target image exemplar. We propose to represent style as a dense feature map, allowing for a finer-grained transfer to the source image without requiring any external semantic information. Our results show that the translations produced by our approach are more diverse, preserve the source content better, and are closer to the exemplars when compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

  Diffusion-based image translation guided by semantic texts or a single target image has enabled flexible style transfer. It is often difficult to maintain the original content of the image during the reverse diffusion. We present a novel diffusion-based unsupervised image translation method using disentangled style and content representation. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models in both text-guided and image-guided translation tasks.

  We introduce a new task -- language-driven image style transfer (textttLDIST) -- to manipulate the style of a content image, guided by a text. The discriminator considers the correlation between language and patches of style images or transferred results to jointly embed style instructions. Experiments show that our CLVA is effective and achieves superb transferred results on textttLDIST.
