Title: Applying object-aware style transfer to digital images
Inventor: ZHIFEI ZHANG
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 2023-04-04
Abstract: Upon receipt of a request to transfer a global style from a source digital image to a target digital image, at least one target object is identified within the target image, and the global style is transferred from from the source image to the target image while the style of the target object(s) is maintained. This is achieved by removing the object(s) from the target image, applying a style transfer neural network to transfer the style to a version of the target image which has the object(s) removed, then re-inserting the object(s). The target objects may be identified using a machine learning object detection model, the target object(s) may be foreground object(s), maybe harmonised with the background before re-insertion, and their extraction may be achieved utilising a segmentation model. Object(s) may also be extracted from the source image, producing an intermediate image for defining the global style for transfer. The neural networks may be encoder neural networks for extracting global code representing features corresponding to overall appearance from the source image and spatial code representing geometric layout from the target image and generator neural networks for combining global and spatial codes to generate a modified digital image.
