📝 摘要(中文)

尽管图像风格迁移取得了显著进展,但风格仅是艺术作品的一个组成部分。直接将提取的风格特征转移到自然图像上,常常导致明显的合成痕迹。关键的绘画属性如布局、透视、形状和语义,往往无法通过风格迁移有效表达。本文提出了一种创新的多任务统一框架CreativeSynth,基于扩散模型,能够协调多模态输入,结合定制的注意力机制,将真实世界的语义内容无缝整合到艺术领域,从而维护美学和语义融合。实验结果表明,CreativeSynth有效弥合了生成模型与艺术表达之间的差距。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义:本文旨在解决现有艺术图像合成方法在风格迁移过程中无法有效表达绘画的布局、透视和语义等关键属性的问题,导致合成结果存在明显的合成痕迹。

核心思路:CreativeSynth的核心思想是通过整合多模态语义信息作为合成指导,而不是简单地将风格转移到现实图像中,从而减少对艺术作品和谐性的干扰。

技术框架:CreativeSynth基于扩散模型,构建了一个多任务统一框架,包含多模态特征提取、定制注意力机制和语义融合模块,能够协调不同输入的语义信息。

关键创新:最重要的技术创新在于引入了Cross-Art-Attention机制,实现了真实世界语义内容与艺术领域的无缝整合,显著提升了合成图像的美学效果和语义一致性。

关键设计:在参数设置上,CreativeSynth采用了多模态输入的特征融合策略,并设计了适应性损失函数,以优化合成效果。此外,网络结构中引入了定制的注意力机制,以增强对艺术特征的捕捉能力。

📄 摘要(原文)

Although remarkable progress has been made in image style transfer, style is just one of the components of artistic paintings. Directly transferring extracted style features to natural images often results in outputs with obvious synthetic traces. This is because key painting attributes including layout, perspective, shape, and semantics often cannot be conveyed and expressed through style transfer. Large-scale pretrained text-to-image generation models have demonstrated their capability to synthesize a vast amount of high-quality images. However, even with extensive textual descriptions, it is challenging to fully express the unique visual properties and details of paintings. Moreover, generic models often disrupt the overall artistic effect when modifying specific areas, making it more complicated to achieve a unified aesthetic in artworks. Our main novel idea is to integrate multimodal semantic information as a synthesis guide into artworks, rather than transferring style to the real world. We also aim to reduce the disruption to the harmony of artworks while simplifying the guidance conditions. Specifically, we propose an innovative multi-task unified framework called CreativeSynth, based on the diffusion model with the ability to coordinate multimodal inputs. CreativeSynth combines multimodal features with customized attention mechanisms to seamlessly integrate real-world semantic content into the art domain through Cross-Art-Attention for aesthetic maintenance and semantic fusion. We demonstrate the results of our method across a wide range of different art categories, proving that CreativeSynth bridges the gap between generative models and artistic expression.
