Search Results for "clean"

...The images are generated from a DCGAN model trained on 143,000 anime character faces for 100 epochs. Manipulating latent codes enables the transition from images in the first row to the last row. The images are not clean, some outliers can be observed, which degrades the quality of the generated images. Anime-style images of 126 tags are collected from danbooru.donmai.us using the crawler tool gallery-dl. The images are then processed by an anime face detector python-anime face. The resulting dataset contains ~143,000 anime faces. Note that some of the tags may no longer be meaningful after cropping, i.e. the cropped face images under the 'uniform' tag may not contain visible parts of uniforms.

...Therefore, we propose a novel triplet domain translation network by leveraging real photos along with massive synthetic image pairs. Specifically, we train two variational autoencoders (VAEs) to respectively transform old photos and clean photos into two latent spaces. And the translation between these two latent spaces is learned with synthetic paired data. This translation generalizes well to real photos because the domain gap is closed in the compact latent space. Besides, to address multiple degradations mixed in one old photo, we design a global branch with a partial nonlocal block targeting to the structured defects, such as scratches and dust spots.
