Generative Visual Manipulation on the Natural Image Manifold
- radarsat1 10y agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c4z6YsBGQ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c4z6YsBGQ0 Really cool, especially the morphing stuff which is amazingly convincing. On the other hand the drawing stuff, I just still can't get over the feeling that it's very similar to looking up best matches in a database, perhaps slightly morphed to better match the input. I guess that's more or less what it is..

- ghgfhgfhn 10y agoNot really - it is sampling from a manifold. The manifold is constructed to fit over the examples given to it - which are the "matches" you are referring to. So while the manifold is constructed from examples, one can sample from anywhere on the manifold. This is very likely what an artist is doing when he draws something from memory.
- mdsteph 10y agoThe morphing is impressive. I wonder if something similar can morph between faces. It may even be possible to morph faces of parents and get something similar to the children of the parents, especially if that's set as the objective. Looking forward to release of the code.
- karpathy 10y agoTom White has done a lot of fun work recently in this direction https://twitter.com/dribnet https://twitter.com/dribnet. You can absolutely do it with faces.
- mdsteph 10y agoThat's very cool, it's amazing what's become possible.
- chestervonwinch 10y agoI thought of faces as well. Police sketch artists may be out of a job soon!
- dharma1 10y agoGreat interface interface to GANs. Nice work
- throwwit 10y agoCool... Is there anyway to combine this with a seam carving approach?
- junyanz 10y agoThank you guys for the interest. The interactive image generation interface as well as trained models are available at https://github.com/junyanz/iGAN https://github.com/junyanz/iGAN. It is still under active development and let me know if you find bugs or would like to suggest new features.
