Image-to-image translation is the recent trend to transform images from one domain to another domain using generative adversarial network (GAN). The existing GAN models perform the training by only utilizing the input and output modalities of transformation. In this paper, we perform the semantic injected training of GAN models. Specifically, we train with original input and output modalities and inject a few epochs of training for translation from input to semantic map. Lets refer the original training as the training for the translation of input image into target domain. The injection of semantic training in the original training improves the generalization capability of the trained GAN model. Moreover, it also preserves the categorical information in a better way in the generated image. The semantic map is only utilized at the training time and is not required at the test time. The experiments are performed using state-of-the-art GAN models over CityScapes and RGB-NIR stereo datasets. We observe the improved performance in terms of the SSIM, FID and KID scores after injecting semantic training as compared to original training.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
