Multi-Stage Optimization for Photorealistic Neural Style Transfer

Abstract

This work introduces a new approach toward photorealistic style transfer. When applying current style transfer techniques on real world photographs, the generated results often contain distortions and artifacts that diminish the real-world quality of the photograph. To address these issues, we propose a two-stage optimization process that transfers style globally and regionally and applies a sharpening filter after each step. As evaluated by a user study, our method is qualitatively comparable to existing state-of-the-art methods, but successfully handles previous failure cases. Our method also quantitatively outperform previous methods as evaluated by natural scene statistic metrics.
