Cartoon-Style Image Rendering Transfer Based on Neural Networks

Abstract

Cartoon rendering of images is a challenging nonphotorealistic image rendering task, which aims to transform real photos into cartoon-style nonphotorealistic images while preserving the semantic content and texture details of the original photos. Based on the understanding of the characteristics of cartoon images and analysis of the defects of established approaches, this paper improves existing methods. The convolutional neural networks' powerful image processing ability and attention mechanism are utilized to get more fine-grained image features, making the result of rendering more realistic. This paper mainly studies how neural networks can better process cartoon pictures, adjust parameters, and choose training methods. Furthermore, the article proposes a new solution of cartoon-style image rendering based on deep learning. The actual test results of real original images have shown that the model is suitable for cartoon-style image rendering.
