Optimizing Latent Space Directions For GAN-based Local Image Editing

Sabine Süsstrunk, Tong Zhang, Ehsan Pajouheshgar

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based localized image editing can suffer from ambiguity between semantic attributes. We thus present a novel objective function to evaluate the locality of an image edit. By introducing the supervision from a pre-traine ...
