Image-to-image translation is the process of transforming an image from one domain to another, where the goal is to learn the mapping between an input image and an output image. This task has been generally performed by using a training set of aligned image pairs on fewer cores-based CPU-based architecture, which mainly aims to transfer images from a source domain to a target domain while preserving the content representations by consuming more execution time. Due to its broad range of applications in numerous computer vision and image processing problems, including image synthesis, segmentation, style transfer, restoration, and pose estimation, GPU-based Image-to-image has attracted growing attention and made enormous progress in recent years. It can be utilized for a variation of principles, including photo enhancement, object transformation, season transfer, and collection style transfer. Only CPU and only GPU-based architecture are difficult in order to speed up the image processing task, especially during re-rendering the same scene under various illuminations characteristic for day, night, or dawn. To address this issue, in this work, we are proposing the Hybrid CPU-GPU-based architecture with HiDT technology for implementing the image translation works at tremendous speed. On the hybrid CPU-GPU-based architecture, it is possible to train a multi-domain image-to-image translation model with HiDT on variable size of dataset unaligned images without domain labels using this technology when it is integrated into an application. The speed of the mentioned application can be achieved by using emerging technologies such as pix2pixHD and HiDT on hybrid architecture, where pix2pixHD is a deep learning-based technique for high-resolution photorealistic image-to-image translation, and it is implemented in PyTorch. This article represents Impact of Hybrid Architecture on Machine Learning-based Image-toImage Translation Using HiDT.
