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 & 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.
