Fast Image Artistic Style Learning Using Twin-Codebook Vector Quantization
Hua Chen, Beibei Liu, Hao Luo, Zhe‐Ming Lu · 2012
Recently, the Twin-codebook Vector Quantization (TBVQ) has been devel- oped for image colourization. It adopts two different but related codebooks in the encoder and decoder respectively, instead of the same codebooks used in traditional vector quan- tizers. In this paper, a novel image artistic style learning scheme is proposed based on TBVQ. During the learning process, the target image is first encoded by the natural code- book and then decoded by the stylized codebook. Effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by experimental results.
