Abstract
This paper presents a novel contribution to the field of regional style transfer. Existing methods often suffer from the drawback of applying style homogeneously across the entire image, leading to stylistic inconsistencies or foreground object twisted when applied to image with foreground elements such as person figures. To address this limitation, we propose a new approach that leverages a segmentation network to precisely isolate foreground objects within the input image. Subsequently, style transfer is applied exclusively to the background region. The isolated foreground objects are then carefully reintegrated into the style-transferred background. To enhance the visual coherence between foreground and background, a color transfer step is employed on the foreground elements prior to their rein-corporation. Finally, we utilize feathering techniques to achieve a seamless amalgamation of foreground and background, resulting in a visually unified and aesthetically pleasing final composition. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our proposed approach yields significantly more natural stylistic transformations compared to conventional methods.

本文在区域风格迁移领域做出了一个新颖的贡献。现有的方法通常存在一个问题，即在整张图像上应用相同的风格，导致风格的不一致性，或者在将风格应用于具有前景元素（如人物形象）的图像时，出现前景对象扭曲。为了应对这个局限，我们提出了一个新的方法，该方法利用分割网络精确地将在输入图像中隔离前景对象。随后，将风格应用于背景区域。隔离后的前景对象 then 被小心地重新整合到风格转移后的背景中。为了增强前景和背景之间的视觉连贯性，在它们重新合并之前，对前景元素进行了颜色转移。最后，我们利用羽化技术实现前景和背景的无缝混合，从而产生视觉上统一和美观的最终构图。 extensive 评估证明，与传统方法相比，我们所提出的方法产生了更自然、更美观的样式转换效果。
