Abstract:

Current style transfer methods are mainly suitable for photos or Western paintings. Due to the inherent differences between Chinese and Western paintings, existing algorithms cannot generate satisfactory results when applied to the style transfer task of Chinese ink paintings. Consequently, a novel style transfer method based on GAN for ink painting is proposed in the study. This method combines AdaIN, style-attention module and perceptual loss to learn the style features of ink painting more accurately, thereby solving the problem that the generated results of ink painting have poor quality. According to the qualitative analysis and quantitative evaluation, experimental results show that this method has better performance and the generated results have higher visual quality. Compared with the baseline, the method reduces the number of parameters by about 55% and the training time by about 60%.

Key words: ink painting, style transfer, generative adversarial networks, attention mechanism, ChipGAN, lightweight, AdaIN, perceptual loss
