Automatic font generation without human experts is a practical and significant problem, especially for some languages that consist of a large number of characters. Existing methods for font generation are often in supervised learning. They require a large number of paired data, which are labor-intensive and expensive to collect. In contrast, common unsupervised image-to-image translation methods are not applicable to font generation, as they often define style as the set of textures and colors. In this work, we propose a robust deformable generative network for unsupervised font generation (abbreviated as DGFont++). We introduce a feature deformation skip connection (FDSC) to learn local patterns and geometric transformations between fonts. The FDSC predicts pairs of displacement maps and employs the predicted maps to apply deformable convolution to the low-level content feature maps. The outputs of FDSC are fed into a mixer to generate final results. Moreover, we introduce contrastive self-supervised learning to learn a robust style representation for fonts by understanding the similarity and dissimilarities of fonts. To distinguish different styles, we train our model with a multi-task discriminator, which ensures that each style can be discriminated independently. In addition to adversarial loss, another two reconstruction losses are adopted to constrain the domain-invariant characteristics between generated images and content images. Taking advantage of FDSC and the adopted loss functions, our model is able to maintain spatial information and generates high-quality character images in an unsupervised manner. Experiments demonstrate that our model is able to generate character images of higher quality than state-of-the-art methods.

旨在生成新的字体的几个示例字体（FFG），由于劳动力成本的显着降低，它引起了人们的关注。典型的FFG管道将标准字体库中的字符视为内容字形，并通过从参考字形中提取样式信息将其转移到新的目标字体中。大多数现有的解决方案明确地删除了全球或组件的参考字形的内容和参考字形的样式。但是，字形的风格主要在于当地细节，即激进，组件和笔触的风格一起描绘了雕文的样式。因此，即使是单个字符也可以包含在空间位置分布的不同样式。在本文中，我们通过学习提出了一种新的字体生成方法1）参考文献中的细粒度局部样式，以及2）内容和参考文字之间的空间对应关系。因此，内容字形中的每个空间位置都可以使用正确的细粒样式分配。为此，我们对内容字形的表示作为查询和参考字形表示作为键和值的跨注意。交叉注意机制无需明确地删除全球或组件建模，而是可以在参考文字中遵循正确的本地样式，并将参考样式汇总为给定内容字形的精细粒度样式表示。实验表明，所提出的方法的表现优于FFG中最新方法。特别是，用户研究还证明了我们方法的样式一致性显着优于以前的方法。

Font generation is a difficult and time-consuming task, especially in those languages using ideograms that have complicated structures with a large number of characters, such as Chinese. To solve this problem, few-shot font generation and even one-shot font generation have attracted a lot of attention. However, most existing font generation methods may still suffer from (i) large cross-font gap challenge; (ii) subtle cross-font variation problem; and (iii) incorrect generation of complicated characters. In this paper, we propose a novel one-shot font generation method based on a diffusion model, named Diff-Font, which can be stably trained on large datasets. The proposed model aims to generate the entire font library by giving only one sample as the reference. Specifically, a large stroke-wise dataset is constructed, and a stroke-wise diffusion model is proposed to preserve the structure and the completion of each generated character. To our best knowledge, the proposed Diff-Font is the first work that developed diffusion models to handle the font generation task. The well-trained Diff-Font is not only robust to font gap and font variation, but also achieved promising performance on difficult character generation. Compared to previous font generation methods, our model reaches state-of-the-art performance both qualitatively and quantitatively.

人类姿势转移旨在将源人的外观转移到目标姿势。利用基于流量的非刚性人类图像的翘曲的现有方法取得了巨大的成功。然而，由于源和目标之间的空间相关性未充分利用，它们未能保留合成图像中的外观细节。为此，我们提出了基于流动的双重关注GaN（FDA-GaN），以应用于更高的发电质量的遮挡和变形感知功能融合。具体而言，可变形的局部注意力和流量相似性关注，构成双重关注机制，可以分别导出负责可变形和遮挡感知融合的输出特征。此外，为了维持传输的姿势和全球位置一致性，我们设计了一种姿势归一化网络，用于从目标姿势到源人员学习自适应标准化。定性和定量结果都表明，我们的方法在公共IPer和Deepfashion数据集中优于最先进的模型。

人物图像的旨在在源图像上执行非刚性变形，这通常需要未对准数据对进行培训。最近，自我监督的方法通过合并自我重建的解除印章表达来表达这项任务的巨大前景。然而，这些方法未能利用解除戒断功能之间的空间相关性。在本文中，我们提出了一种自我监督的相关挖掘网络（SCM-NET）来重新排列特征空间中的源图像，其中两种协作模块是集成的，分解的样式编码器（DSE）和相关挖掘模块（CMM）。具体地，DSE首先在特征级别创建未对齐的对。然后，CMM建立用于特征重新排列的空间相关领域。最终，翻译模块将重新排列的功能转换为逼真的结果。同时，为了提高跨尺度姿态变换的保真度，我们提出了一种基于曲线图的体结构保持损失（BSR损耗），以保持半体上的合理的身体结构到全身。与Deepfashion DataSet进行的广泛实验表明了与其他监督和无监督和无监督的方法相比的方法的优势。此外，对面部的令人满意的结果显示了我们在其他变形任务中的方法的多功能性。

Generating new fonts is a time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in a language with a huge amount of characters like Chinese. Various deep learning models have demonstrated the ability to efficiently generate new fonts with a few reference characters of that style. This project aims to develop a few-shot cross-lingual font generator based on AGIS-Net and improve the performance metrics mentioned. Our approaches include redesigning the encoder and the loss function. We will validate our method on multiple languages and datasets mentioned.

The generation of Chinese fonts has a wide range of applications. The currently predominated methods are mainly based on deep generative models, especially the generative adversarial networks (GANs). However, existing GAN-based models usually suffer from the well-known mode collapse problem. When mode collapse happens, the kind of GAN-based models will be failure to yield the correct fonts. To address this issue, we introduce a one-bit stroke encoding and a few-shot semi-supervised scheme (i.e., using a few paired data as semi-supervised information) to explore the local and global structure information of Chinese characters respectively, motivated by the intuition that strokes and characters directly embody certain local and global modes of Chinese characters. Based on these ideas, this paper proposes an effective model called \textit{StrokeGAN+}, which incorporates the stroke encoding and the few-shot semi-supervised scheme into the CycleGAN model. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated by amounts of experiments. Experimental results show that the mode collapse issue can be effectively alleviated by the introduced one-bit stroke encoding and few-shot semi-supervised training scheme, and that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art models in fourteen font generation tasks in terms of four important evaluation metrics and the quality of generated characters. Besides CycleGAN, we also show that the proposed idea can be adapted to other existing models to improve their performance. The effectiveness of the proposed model for the zero-shot traditional Chinese font generation is also evaluated in this paper.

In image-to-image translation, each patch in the output should reflect the content of the corresponding patch in the input, independent of domain. We propose a straightforward method for doing so -maximizing mutual information between the two, using a framework based on contrastive learning. The method encourages two elements (corresponding patches) to map to a similar point in a learned feature space, relative to other elements (other patches) in the dataset, referred to as negatives. We explore several critical design choices for making contrastive learning effective in the image synthesis setting. Notably, we use a multilayer, patch-based approach, rather than operate on entire images. Furthermore, we draw negatives from within the input image itself, rather than from the rest of the dataset. We demonstrate that our framework enables one-sided translation in the unpaired image-to-image translation setting, while improving quality and reducing training time. In addition, our method can even be extended to the training setting where each "domain" is only a single image.

虚拟试验旨在在店内服装和参考人员图像的情况下产生光真实的拟合结果。现有的方法通常建立多阶段框架来分别处理衣服翘曲和身体混合，或严重依赖基于中间解析器的标签，这些标签可能嘈杂甚至不准确。为了解决上述挑战，我们通过开发一种新型的变形注意流（DAFLOF）提出了一个单阶段的尝试框架，该框架将可变形的注意方案应用于多流量估计。仅将姿势关键点作为指导，分别为参考人员和服装图像估计了自我和跨跨性别的注意力流。通过对多个流场进行采样，通过注意机制同时提取并合并了来自不同语义区域的特征级和像素级信息。它使衣服翘曲和身体合成，同时以端到端的方式导致照片真实的结果。在两个尝试数据集上进行的广泛实验表明，我们提出的方法在定性和定量上都能达到最先进的性能。此外，其他两个图像编辑任务上的其他实验说明了我们用于多视图合成和图像动画方法的多功能性。

本文的目标是对面部素描合成（FSS）问题进行全面的研究。然而，由于获得了手绘草图数据集的高成本，因此缺乏完整的基准，用于评估过去十年的FSS算法的开发。因此，我们首先向FSS引入高质量的数据集，名为FS2K，其中包括2,104个图像素描对，跨越三种类型的草图样式，图像背景，照明条件，肤色和面部属性。 FS2K与以前的FSS数据集不同于难度，多样性和可扩展性，因此应促进FSS研究的进展。其次，我们通过调查139种古典方法，包括34个手工特征的面部素描合成方法，37个一般的神经式传输方法，43个深映像到图像翻译方法，以及35个图像 - 素描方法。此外，我们详细说明了现有的19个尖端模型的综合实验。第三，我们为FSS提供了一个简单的基准，名为FSGAN。只有两个直截了当的组件，即面部感知屏蔽和风格矢量扩展，FSGAN将超越所提出的FS2K数据集的所有先前最先进模型的性能，通过大边距。最后，我们在过去几年中汲取的经验教训，并指出了几个未解决的挑战。我们的开源代码可在https://github.com/dengpingfan/fsgan中获得。

通过对抗训练的雾霾图像转换的关键程序在于仅涉及雾度合成的特征，即表示不变语义内容的特征，即内容特征。以前的方法通过利用它在培训过程中对Haze图像进行分类来分开单独的内容。然而，在本文中，我们认识到在这种技术常规中的内容式解剖学的不完整性。缺陷的样式功能与内容信息纠缠不可避免地引导阴霾图像的呈现。要解决，我们通过随机线性插值提出自我监督的风格回归，以减少风格特征中的内容信息。烧蚀实验表明了静态感知雾度图像合成中的解开的完整性及其优越性。此外，所产生的雾度数据应用于车辆检测器的测试概括。雾度和检测性能之间的进一步研究表明，雾度对车辆探测器的概括具有明显的影响，并且这种性能降低水平与雾度水平线性相关，反过来验证了该方法的有效性。

Image and video synthesis has become a blooming topic in computer vision and machine learning communities along with the developments of deep generative models, due to its great academic and application value. Many researchers have been devoted to synthesizing high-fidelity human images as one of the most commonly seen object categories in daily lives, where a large number of studies are performed based on various deep generative models, task settings and applications. Thus, it is necessary to give a comprehensive overview on these variant methods on human image generation. In this paper, we divide human image generation techniques into three paradigms, i.e., data-driven methods, knowledge-guided methods and hybrid methods. For each route, the most representative models and the corresponding variants are presented, where the advantages and characteristics of different methods are summarized in terms of model architectures and input/output requirements. Besides, the main public human image datasets and evaluation metrics in the literature are also summarized. Furthermore, due to the wide application potentials, two typical downstream usages of synthesized human images are covered, i.e., data augmentation for person recognition tasks and virtual try-on for fashion customers. Finally, we discuss the challenges and potential directions of human image generation to shed light on future research.

生成的对抗网络（GAN）已受过培训，成为能够创作出令人惊叹的艺术品（例如面部生成和图像样式转移）的专业艺术家。在本文中，我们专注于现实的业务方案：具有所需的移动应用程序和主题样式的可自定义图标的自动生成。我们首先引入一个主题应用图标数据集，称为Appicon，每个图标都有两个正交主题和应用标签。通过研究强大的基线样式，我们观察到由正交标签的纠缠引起的模式崩溃。为了解决这一挑战，我们提出了由有条件的发电机和双重歧视器组成的ICONGAN，具有正交扩大，并且进一步设计了对比的特征分离策略，以使两个歧视器的特征空间正常。与其他方法相比，ICONGAN在Appicon基准测试中表明了优势。进一步的分析还证明了解开应用程序和主题表示的有效性。我们的项目将在以下网址发布：https：//github.com/architect-road/icongan。

尽管具有生成对抗网络（GAN）的图像到图像（I2I）翻译的显着进步，但使用单对生成器和歧视器将图像有效地转换为多个目标域中的一组不同图像仍然具有挑战性。现有的I2i翻译方法采用多个针对不同域的特定于域的内容编码，其中每个特定于域的内容编码器仅经过来自同一域的图像的训练。然而，我们认为应从所有域之间的图像中学到内容（域变相）特征。因此，现有方案的每个特定于域的内容编码器都无法有效提取域不变特征。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一个灵活而通用的Sologan模型，用于在多个域之间具有未配对数据的多模式I2I翻译。与现有方法相反，Solgan算法使用具有附加辅助分类器的单个投影鉴别器，并为所有域共享编码器和生成器。因此，可以使用来自所有域的图像有效地训练Solgan，从而可以有效提取域 - 不变性内容表示。在多个数据集中，针对多个同行和sologan的变体的定性和定量结果证明了该方法的优点，尤其是对于挑战i2i翻译数据集的挑战，即涉及极端形状变化的数据集或在翻译后保持复杂的背景，需要保持复杂的背景。此外，我们通过消融研究证明了Sogan中每个成分的贡献。

This paper presents a portrait stylization method designed for real-time mobile applications with limited style examples available. Previous learning based stylization methods suffer from the geometric and semantic gaps between portrait domain and style domain, which obstacles the style information to be correctly transferred to the portrait images, leading to poor stylization quality. Based on the geometric prior of human facial attributions, we propose to utilize geometric alignment to tackle this issue. Firstly, we apply Thin-Plate-Spline (TPS) on feature maps in the generator network and also directly to style images in pixel space, generating aligned portrait-style image pairs with identical landmarks, which closes the geometric gaps between two domains. Secondly, adversarial learning maps the textures and colors of portrait images to the style domain. Finally, geometric aware cycle consistency preserves the content and identity information unchanged, and deformation invariant constraint suppresses artifacts and distortions. Qualitative and quantitative comparison validate our method outperforms existing methods, and experiments proof our method could be trained with limited style examples (100 or less) in real-time (more than 40 FPS) on mobile devices. Ablation study demonstrates the effectiveness of each component in the framework.

建筑摄影是一种摄影类型，重点是捕获前景中带有戏剧性照明的建筑物或结构。受图像到图像翻译方法的成功启发，我们旨在为建筑照片执行风格转移。但是，建筑摄影中的特殊构图对这类照片中的样式转移构成了巨大挑战。现有的神经风格转移方法将建筑图像视为单个实体，它将产生与原始建筑的几何特征，产生不切实际的照明，错误的颜色演绎以及可视化伪影，例如幽灵，外观失真或颜色不匹配。在本文中，我们专门针对建筑摄影的神经风格转移方法。我们的方法解决了两个分支神经网络中建筑照片中前景和背景的组成，该神经网络分别考虑了前景和背景的样式转移。我们的方法包括一个分割模块，基于学习的图像到图像翻译模块和图像混合优化模块。我们使用了一天中不同的魔术时代捕获的不受限制的户外建筑照片的新数据集培训了图像到图像的翻译神经网络，利用其他语义信息，以更好地匹配和几何形状保存。我们的实验表明，我们的方法可以在前景和背景上产生逼真的照明和颜色演绎，并且在定量和定性上都优于一般图像到图像转换和任意样式转移基线。我们的代码和数据可在https://github.com/hkust-vgd/architectural_style_transfer上获得。

生成的对抗网络（GANS）最近引入了执行图像到图像翻译的有效方法。这些模型可以应用于图像到图像到图像转换中的各种域而不改变任何参数。在本文中，我们调查并分析了八个图像到图像生成的对策网络：PIX2PX，Cyclegan，Cogan，Stargan，Munit，Stargan2，Da-Gan，以及自我关注GaN。这些模型中的每一个都呈现了最先进的结果，并引入了构建图像到图像的新技术。除了对模型的调查外，我们还调查了他们接受培训的18个数据集，并在其上进行了评估的9个指标。最后，我们在常见的一组指标和数据集中呈现6种这些模型的受控实验的结果。结果混合并显示，在某些数据集，任务和指标上，某些型号优于其他型号。本文的最后一部分讨论了这些结果并建立了未来研究领域。由于研究人员继续创新新的图像到图像GAN，因此他们非常重要地了解现有方法，数据集和指标。本文提供了全面的概述和讨论，以帮助构建此基础。

场景文本擦除旨在从场景图像中删除文本内容，而当前的最新文本擦除模型经过大规模合成数据的培训。尽管数据合成引擎可以提供大量注释的训练样本，但合成数据和现实世界数据之间存在差异。在本文中，我们在未标记的现实世界场景文本图像上采用自我审视来进行特征表示。一项新颖的借口任务旨在在图像变体的文本蒙版之间保持一致。我们设计了渐进式擦除网络，以删除剩余文本。场景文本通过利用中间生成的结果逐渐消除，这为随后的更高质量结果奠定了基础。实验表明，我们的方法显着改善了文本擦除任务的概括，并在公共基准上实现了最先进的性能。

强大的模拟器高度降低了在培训和评估自动车辆时对真实测试的需求。数据驱动的模拟器蓬勃发展，最近有条件生成对冲网络（CGANS）的进步，提供高保真图像。主要挑战是在施加约束之后的同时合成光量造型图像。在这项工作中，我们建议通过重新思考鉴别者架构来提高所生成的图像的质量。重点是在给定对语义输入生成图像的问题类上，例如场景分段图或人体姿势。我们建立成功的CGAN模型，提出了一种新的语义感知鉴别器，更好地指导发电机。我们的目标是学习一个共享的潜在表示，编码足够的信息，共同进行语义分割，内容重建以及粗糙的粒度的对抗性推理。实现的改进是通用的，并且可以应用于任何条件图像合成的任何架构。我们展示了我们在场景，建筑和人类综合任务上的方法，跨越三个不同的数据集。代码可在https://github.com/vita-epfl/semdisc上获得。

Segmenting the fine structure of the mouse brain on magnetic resonance (MR) images is critical for delineating morphological regions, analyzing brain function, and understanding their relationships. Compared to a single MRI modality, multimodal MRI data provide complementary tissue features that can be exploited by deep learning models, resulting in better segmentation results. However, multimodal mouse brain MRI data is often lacking, making automatic segmentation of mouse brain fine structure a very challenging task. To address this issue, it is necessary to fuse multimodal MRI data to produce distinguished contrasts in different brain structures. Hence, we propose a novel disentangled and contrastive GAN-based framework, named MouseGAN++, to synthesize multiple MR modalities from single ones in a structure-preserving manner, thus improving the segmentation performance by imputing missing modalities and multi-modality fusion. Our results demonstrate that the translation performance of our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Using the subsequently learned modality-invariant information as well as the modality-translated images, MouseGAN++ can segment fine brain structures with averaged dice coefficients of 90.0% (T2w) and 87.9% (T1w), respectively, achieving around +10% performance improvement compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms. Our results demonstrate that MouseGAN++, as a simultaneous image synthesis and segmentation method, can be used to fuse cross-modality information in an unpaired manner and yield more robust performance in the absence of multimodal data. We release our method as a mouse brain structural segmentation tool for free academic usage at https://github.com/yu02019.
