Neural style transfer recently has become one of the most popular topics in academic research and industrial application. The existing methods can generate synthetic images by transferring different styles of some images to another given content images, but they mainly focus on learning low-level features of images with losses of content and style, leading to greatly alter the salient information of content images in the semantic level. In this paper, an improved scheme is proposed to keep the salient regions of the transferred image the same with that of content image. By adding the region loss calculated from a localization network, the synthetic image can almost keep the main salient regions consistent with that of original content image, which helps for saliency-based tasks such as object localization and classification. In addition, the transferred effect is more natural and attractive, avoiding simple texture overlay of the style image. Furthermore, our scheme can also extend to remain other semantic information (such as shape, edge, and color) of the image with the corresponding estimation networks.
The symmetrical difference kernel SAR image edge detection algorithm based on the Canny operator can usually achieve effective edge detection of a single view image. When detecting a multi-view SAR image edge, it has the disadvantage of a low detection accuracy. An edge detection algorithm for a symmetric difference nuclear SAR image based on the GAN network model is proposed. Multi-view data of a symmetric difference nuclear SAR image are generated by the GAN network model. According to the results of multi-view data generation, an edge detection model for an arbitrary direction symmetric difference nuclear SAR image is constructed. A non-edge is eliminated by edge post-processing. The Hough transform is used to calculate the edge direction to realize the accurate detection of the edge of the SAR image. The experimental results show that the average classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 93.8%, 96.85% of the detection edges coincide with the correct edges, and 97.08% of the detection edges fall into the buffer of three pixel widths, whichshows that the proposed algorithm has a high accuracy of edge detection for kernel SAR images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
