Semantic Image to Image Translation using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

In semantic image-to-image translation, the goal will be to learn mapping between an input image and the output image. A model of semantic image to image translation problem using Cycle GAN algorithm is proposed. Given a set of paired or unpaired images a transformation is learned to translate the input image into the specified domain. The dataset considered is cityscape dataset. In the cityscape dataset, the semantic images are converted into photographic images. Here a Generative Adversarial Network algorithm called Cycle GAN algorithm with cycle consistency loss is used. The cycle GAN algorithm can be used to transform the semantic image into a photographic or real image. The cycle consistency loss compares the real image and the output image of the second generator and gives the loss functions. In this paper, the model shows that by considering more training time we get the accurate results and the image quality will be improved. The model can be used when images from one domain needs to be converted into another domain inorder to obtain high quality of images.
