• Authors: Narek Tumanyan, Omer Bar-Tal, Shir Amir, Shai Bagon, Tali Dekel
• Abstract summary: We present a method for semantically transferring the visual appearance of one natural image to another. Specifically, our goal is to generate an image in which objects in a source structure image are "painted" with the visual appearance of their semantically related objects in a target appearance image. We propose two frameworks of semantic appearance transfer -- "Splice", which works by training a generator on a single and arbitrary pair of structure-appearance images, and "SpliceNet", a feed-forward real-time appearance transfer model trained on a dataset of images from a specific domain.

• Abstract: We present a method for semantically transferring the visual appearance of one natural image to another. Specifically, our goal is to generate an image in which objects in a source structure image are "painted" with the visual appearance of their semantically related objects in a target appearance image. To integrate semantic information into our framework, our key idea is to leverage a pre-trained and fixed Vision Transformer (ViT) model. Specifically, we derive novel disentangled representations of structure and appearance extracted from deep ViT features. We then establish an objective function that splices the desired structure and appearance representations, interweaving them together in the space of ViT features. Based on our objective function, we propose two frameworks of semantic appearance transfer -- "Splice", which works by training a generator on a single and arbitrary pair of structure-appearance images, and "SpliceNet", a feed-forward real-time appearance transfer model trained on a dataset of images from a specific domain. Our frameworks do not involve adversarial training, nor do they require any additional input information such as semantic segmentation or correspondences. We demonstrate high-resolution results on a variety of in-the-wild image pairs, under significant variations in the number of objects, pose, and appearance. Code and supplementary material are available in our project page: splice-vit.github.io.

  We introduce a cross-image attention mechanism that implicitly establishes semantic correspondences across images. We harness three mechanisms that either manipulate the noisy latent codes or the model's internal representations throughout the denoising process. Experiments show that our method is effective across a wide range of object categories and is robust to variations in shape, size, and viewpoint.

  We present a compositional approach to image augmentation for self-driving applications. It is an end-to-end neural network that is trained to seamlessly compose an object represented as a cropped patch from an object image, into a background scene image. We evaluate our network, coined SAC-GAN for structure-aware composition, on prominent self-driving datasets in terms of quality, composability, and generalizability of the composite images.
