Empirical works suggest that various semantics emerge in the latent space of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) when being trained to generate images. To perform real image editing, it requires an accurate mapping from the real image to the latent space to leveraging these learned semantics, which is important yet difficult. An in-domain GAN inversion approach is recently proposed to constraint the inverted code within the latent space by forcing the reconstructed image obtained from the inverted code within the real image space. Empirically, we find that the inverted code by the in-domain GAN can deviate from the latent space significantly. To solve this problem, we propose a force-in-domain GAN based on the in-domain GAN, which utilizes a discriminator to force the inverted code within the latent space. The force-in-domain GAN can also be interpreted by a cycle-GAN with slight modification. Extensive experiments show that our force-in-domain GAN not only reconstructs the target image at the pixel level, but also align the inverted code with the latent space well for semantic editing.

GAN inversion aims to invert a given image back into the latent space of a pretrained GAN model, for the image to be faithfully reconstructed from the inverted code by the generator. As an emerging technique to bridge the real and fake image domains, GAN inversion plays an essential role in enabling the pretrained GAN models such as StyleGAN and BigGAN to be used for real image editing applications. Meanwhile, GAN inversion also provides insights on the interpretation of GANs latent space and how the realistic images can be generated. In this paper, we provide an overview of GAN inversion with a focus on its recent algorithms and applications. We cover important techniques of GAN inversion and their applications to image restoration and image manipulation. We further elaborate on some trends and challenges for future directions.
Fake face detection is a significant challenge for intelligent systems as generative models become more powerful every single day. As the quality of fake faces increases, the trained models become more and more inefficient to detect the novel fake faces, since the corresponding training data is considered outdated. In this case, robust One-Shot learning methods is more compatible with the requirements of changeable training data. In this paper, we propose a universal One-Shot GAN generated fake face detection method which can be used in significantly different areas of anomaly detection. The proposed method is based on extracting out-of-context objects from faces via scene understanding models. To do so, we use state of the art scene understanding and object detection methods as a pre-processing tool to detect the weird objects in the face. Second, we create a bag of words given all the detected out-of-context objects per all training data. This way, we transform each image into a sparse vector where each feature represents the confidence score related to each detected object in the image. Our experiments show that, we can discriminate fake faces from real ones in terms of out-of-context features. It means that, different sets of objects are detected in fake faces comparing to real ones when we analyze them with scene understanding and object detection models. We prove that, the proposed method can outperform previous methods based on our experiments on Style-GAN generated fake faces.
Image outpainting seeks for a semantically consistent extension of the input image beyond its available content. Compared to inpainting -- filling in missing pixels in a way coherent with the neighboring pixels -- outpainting can be achieved in more diverse ways since the problem is less constrained by the surrounding pixels. Existing image outpainting methods pose the problem as a conditional image-to-image translation task, often generating repetitive structures and textures by replicating the content available in the input image. In this work, we formulate the problem from the perspective of inverting generative adversarial networks. Our generator renders micro-patches conditioned on their joint latent code as well as their individual positions in the image. To outpaint an image, we seek for multiple latent codes not only recovering available patches but also synthesizing diverse outpainting by patch-based generation. This leads to richer structure and content in the outpainted regions. Furthermore, our formulation allows for outpainting conditioned on the categorical input, thereby enabling flexible user controls. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the proposed method performs favorably against existing in- and outpainting methods, featuring higher visual quality and diversity.
Single-pixel imaging is a novel imaging scheme that has gained popularity due to its huge computational gain and potential for a low-cost alternative to imaging beyond the visible spectrum. The traditional reconstruction methods struggle to produce a clear recovery when one limits the number of illumination patterns from a spatial light modulator. As a remedy, several deep-learning-based solutions have been proposed which lack good generalization ability due to the architectural setup and loss functions. In this paper, we propose a generative adversarial network-based reconstruction framework for single-pixel imaging, referred to as SPI-GAN. Our method can reconstruct images with 17.92 dB PSNR and 0.487 SSIM, even if the sampling ratio drops to 5%. This facilitates much faster reconstruction making our method suitable for single-pixel video. Furthermore, our ResNet-like architecture for the generator leads to useful representation learning that allows us to reconstruct completely unseen objects. The experimental results demonstrate that SPI-GAN achieves significant performance gain, e.g. near 3dB PSNR gain, over the current state-of-the-art method.
Domain shift is a major problem for deploying deep networks in clinical practice. Network performance drops significantly with (target) images obtained differently than its (source) training data. Due to a lack of target label data, most work has focused on unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). Current UDA methods need both source and target data to train models which perform image translation (harmonization) or learn domain-invariant features. However, training a model for each target domain is time consuming and computationally expensive, even infeasible when target domain data are scarce or source data are unavailable due to data privacy. In this paper, we propose a novel self domain adapted network (SDA-Net) that can rapidly adapt itself to a single test subject at the testing stage, without using extra data or training a UDA model. The SDA-Net consists of three parts: adaptors, task model, and auto-encoders. The latter two are pre-trained offline on labeled source images. The task model performs tasks like synthesis, segmentation, or classification, which may suffer from the domain shift problem. At the testing stage, the adaptors are trained to transform the input test image and features to reduce the domain shift as measured by the auto-encoders, and thus perform domain adaptation. We validated our method on retinal layer segmentation from different OCT scanners and T1 to T2 synthesis with T1 from different MRI scanners and with different imaging parameters. Results show that our SDA-Net, with a single test subject and a short amount of time for self adaptation at the testing stage, can achieve significant improvements.
