Interactive Style Space of Deep Features and Style Innovation

摘要

Stylizing images as paintings has been a popular computer vision technique for a long time. However, most studies only consider the art styles known today, and rarely have investigated styles that have not been painted yet. We fill this gap by projecting the high-dimensional style space of Convolutional Neural Network features to the latent low-dimensional style manifold space. It is worth noting that in our visualized space, simple style linear interpolation is enabled to generate new artistic styles that would revolutionize the future of art in technology. We propose a model of an Interactive Style Space (ISS) to prove that in a manifold style space, the unknown styles are obtainable through interpolation of known styles. We verify the correctness and feasibility of our Interactive Style Space (ISS) and validate style interpolation within the space.
