Steroid Filter; Adobe Algorithm Copies Photo Styles

Image
Technically called “Deep Photo Style Transfer”, researchers from Adobe and Cornell University have teamed up to develop an algorithm that lifts the photo style from one image to another. The software is developed on pre-existing technology used in Prisma app which copies painting styles however; the software’s algorithm produces satisfying photorealistic style transfers in a wide range of scenarios including transfer of weather, season, artistic edits and time of day more than 80% of the time. Here are some examples of the algorithm in action: "A" is the reference image, "B" is the image to be edited and "C" is the output Example I Example II Example II This level of accuracy and faithfulness was achievable by; (a)     Constraining transformation to be locally affine in colour space from input to output in order to prevent distortions. (b)    Introduction of an optional guidance to the style transfer process to avoid c
