Toward Realistic Image Compositing With Adversarial Learning

Abstract

Compositing a realistic image is a challenging task and usually requires considerable human supervision using professional image editing software. In this work we propose a generative adversarial network (GAN) architecture for automatic image compositing. The proposed model consists of four sub-networks: a transformation network that improves the geometric and color consistency of the composite image, a refinement network that polishes the boundary of the composite image, and a pair of discriminator network and a segmentation network for adversarial learning. Experimental results on both synthesized images and real images show that our model, Geometrically and Color Consistent GANs (GCC-GANs), can automatically generate realistic composite images compared to several state-of-the-art methods, and does not require any manual effort.
