Perceptual Adversarial Networks for Image-to-Image Transformation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose Perceptual Adversarial Networks (PAN) for image-to-image transformations. Different from existing application driven algorithms, PAN provides a generic framework of learning to map from input images to desired images (Fig. 1), such as a rainy image to its de-rained counterpart, object edges to photos, semantic labels to a scenes image, etc. The proposed PAN consists of two feed-forward convolutional neural networks (CNNs): the image transformation network T and the discriminative network D. Besides the generative adversarial loss widely used in GANs, we propose the perceptual adversarial loss, which undergoes an adversarial training process between the image transformation network T and the hidden layers of the discriminative network D. The hidden layers and the output of the discriminative network D are upgraded to constantly and automatically discover the discrepancy between the transformed image and the corresponding ground-truth, while the image transformation network T is trained to minimize the discrepancy explored by the discriminative network D. Through integrating the generative adversarial loss and the perceptual adversarial loss, D and T can be trained alternately to solve image-to-image transformation tasks. Experiments evaluated on several image-to-image transformation tasks (e.g., image de-raining, image inpainting, etc) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PAN and its advantages over many existing works.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
