Abstract
A few-shot, unsupervised image-to-image translation ('FUNIT') algorithm is disclosed that accepts as input images of previously-unseen target classes. These target classes are specified at inference time by only a few images, such as a single image or a pair of images, of an object of the target type. A FUNIT network can be trained using a data set containing images of many different object classes, in order to translate images from one class to another class by leveraging few input images of the target class. By learning to extract appearance patterns from the few input images for the translation task, the network learns a generalizable appearance pattern extractor that can be applied to images of unseen classes at translation time for a few-shot image-to-image translation task.
