• Title: DLP-GAN: learning to draw modern Chinese landscape photos with generative adversarial network
• Authors: Xiangquan Gui, Binxuan Zhang, Li Li, Yi Yang
• Abstract summary: Chinese landscape painting has a unique and artistic style, and its drawing technique is highly abstract in both the use of color and the realistic representation of objects. Previous methods focus on transferring from modern photos to ancient ink paintings, but little attention has been paid to translating landscape paintings into modern photos.

• Abstract: Chinese landscape painting has a unique and artistic style, and its drawing technique is highly abstract in both the use of color and the realistic representation of objects. Previous methods focus on transferring from modern photos to ancient ink paintings. However, little attention has been paid to translating landscape paintings into modern photos. To solve such problems, in this paper, we (1) propose DLP-GAN (Draw Modern Chinese Landscape Photos with Generative Adversarial Network), an unsupervised cross-domain image translation framework with a novel asymmetric cycle mapping, and (2) introduce a generator based on a dense-fusion module to match different translation directions. Moreover, a dual-consistency loss is proposed to balance the realism and abstraction of model painting. In this way, our model can draw landscape photos and sketches in the modern sense. Finally, based on our collection of modern landscape and sketch datasets, we compare the images generated by our model with other benchmarks. Extensive experiments including user studies show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a semi-supervised approach using cycle-consistent adversarial networks to leverage the limited paired data. We introduce novel evaluation metrics to assess the quality, diversity, and consistency of the generated poems and paintings. The proposed model outperforms previous methods, showing promise in capturing the symbolic essence of artistic expression.

  CtlGAN is a new few-shot artistic portraits generation model with a novel contrastive transfer learning strategy.

We propose a new encoder which embeds real faces into Z+ space and proposes a dual-path training strategy to better cope with the adapted decoder.
