Style Transfer via Texture Synthesis
March 19th, 2017
Hebrew University

Style-transfer is a process of migrating a style from a given image to the content of another, synthesizing a new image which is an artistic mixture of the two. Recent work on this problem adopting Convolutional Neural-networks (CNN) ignited a renewed interest in this field, due to the very impressive results obtained. There exists an alternative path towards handling the style-transfer task, via generalization of texture-synthesis algorithms. I will present a novel such style-transfer algorithm that extends the texture-synthesis work of Kwatra et. al. (2005), while aiming to get stylized images that get closer in quality to the CNN ones.

This talk was given in the computer vision seminar in the Hebrew University. This is a joint work with Peyman Milanfar - Google Research.
