Abstract

Style transfer aims to transfer arbitrary visual styles to content images, and real-time arbitrary style transfer is a hot research topic, it aims real-time and arbitrary style transfer. Two current representative real-time arbitrary style transfer methods, AdaIN method and WCT method, have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, the theory of the two methods were outlined, the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods were analyzed, and the influence of WCT module on the style transfer of each-level features was analyzed. Considering the combination of the two methods to overcome their shortcomings, the WCT module is added in the AdaIN method, the result feature obtained by AdaIN module is further processed by WCT module to obtain the target feature, and the content image is preprocessed by gray processing to remove some of its style features while retain content, the experimental results show that the method is feasible and effective.
