Geometric Deformation on Objects: Unsupervised Image Manipulation via Conjugation

Changqing Fu, Laurent D. Cohen

Abstract: A novel two-stage approach is proposed for image manipulation and generation. User-interactive image deformation is performed through editing of contours. This is performed in the latent edge space with both color and gradient information. The output of editing is then fed into a multi-scale representation of the image to recover quality output. The model is flexible in terms of transferability and training efficiency.
