GANs (Generative adversarial networks) is a new AI technology that has the capability of achieving transformation between two image sets. Using GANs we have carried out a comparison between several art sets with different art styles. We have prepared four image sets; a flower image set with Impressionism art style, one with the Western abstract art style, one with Chinese figurative art style, and one with the art style of Naoko Tosa, one of the authors. Using these four sets we have carried out a psychological experiment to evaluate the difference between these four sets. We have found that abstract drawings and figurative drawings are judged to be different, figurative drawings in West and East were judged to be similar, and Naoko Tosa's artworks are similar to Western abstract artworks.

When autonomous driving comes to reality in near future, a space in a car would become a special space where people can enjoy various kinds of entertainment. This paper proposes one such entertainment in which the outside landscape is to be changed into moving art. Firstly, the outside landscape is captured by a camera set near to a driver's head. Then each frame of the captured landscape video is transformed into an artistic image by utilizing the image transformation capability of CycleGAN, one of the recent AI technologies. And the converted video is projected on the windshield. Landscape seen from side windows can be changed into artistic moving images in the same way. In this way, passengers, as well as a driver of a future car, can enjoy artistic moving images that are converted from outside landscape into art video with any art style.
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.
