CycleGAN

CycleGAN changes an image style, then checks if it can change it back.

What it does

CycleGAN changes an image style, then checks if it can change it back.

Transfer: Moving a style from A to B • Domain: Image category

How it works

• Change an image from one style to another.
• Change it back to the first style.
• Compare the result to see if the main content stayed the same.

Uses and applications

• A photo app can try a painting style on a picture.
• A car company can imagine daytime road photos as nighttime road photos.
• A game artist can test a new look for backgrounds.

In short

It can translate one image style into another.
