Depth Structure Preserving Scene Image Generation (1706.00212v2)

Abstract: Key to automatically generate natural scene images is to properly arrange among various spatial elements, especially in the depth direction. To this end, we introduce a novel depth structure preserving scene image generation network (DSP-GAN), which favors a hierarchical and heterogeneous architecture, for the purpose of depth structure preserving scene generation. The main trunk of the proposed infrastructure is built on a Hawkes point process that models the spatial dependency between different depth layers. Within each layer generative adversarial sub-networks are trained collaboratively to generate realistic scene components, conditioned on the layer information produced by the point process. We experiment our model on a sub-set of SUNdataset with annotated scene images and demonstrate that our models are capable of generating depth-realistic natural scene image.
