Artistic style transfer is usually performed between two images, a style image and a content image. Recently, a model named CLIPStyler demonstrated that a natural language description of style could replace the necessity of a reference style image. They achieved this by taking advantage of the CLIP model, which can compute the similarity between a text phrase and an image. In this work, we demonstrate how combining CLIPStyler with a pre-trained, purely vision-based style transfer model can significantly reduce the inference time of CLIPStyler. We call this model FastCLIPStyler. We do a qualitative exploration of the stylised images from both models and argue that our model also has merits in terms of the visual aesthetics of the generated images. Finally, we also point out how FastCLIPStyler can be used to further extend this line of research to create a generalised text-to-style model that does not require optimisation at inference time, which both CLIPStyler and FastCLIPStyler do currently.

通过使用文本输入代替语言风格参考图像的方式，创建一种通用的文本样式转移网络，能够在单次前向传递中对任意文本输入进行图像样式化处理，能够比CLIPstyler快约1000倍，且消除了一些不必要的图像失真问题，并可选用微调步骤以提高生成图像的质量。
