Paper Title
Creation of Animation-Like Backgrounds using Deep Learning
Abstract
Processing images using object detection, image restoration, and generative adversarial networks to directly
convert real-world images into high-quality anime-style background images is one of today's research hotspots in computer
vision. Input real-world images, object detection using the cutting-edge target detection algorithm DETR and generation of
masks for the detected objects. The image restoration algorithm LaMa is then used to erase areas of the image with masked
portions, generating a real-world background image.Finally, AnimeGAN generative adversarial network is used to convert the
real world background image into anime style background image.Aiming at the current popular Anime GAN's problems such
as color distortion in image migration, a new AnimeGAN-SE is proposed by introducing SE-Residual Block (Squeeze
Excitation Residual Block) to solve the problem of low color of the migrated image of Anime GAN. The experimental results
show that the network works well for animated pictures.
