Abstract
Portrait style transfer aims to render artistic portraits from real faces, which are ubiquitous in our daily life as well as creative industries in forms of arts, social media avatars, movies and entertainment advertising. In this talk, I will introduce our two portrait style transfer models DualStyleGAN and VToonify. We first propose a novel DualStyleGAN to characterize and control the intrinsic and extrinsic styles for exemplar-based high-resolution portrait style transfer, requiring only a few hundred style examples. Then, based on DualStyleGAN, we propose a novel VToonify framework for controllable high-resolution portrait video style transfer, supporting unaligned faces and various video sizes.
