This paper introduces a deep-learning approach to photographic style transfer
that handles a large variety of image content while faithfully transferring the
reference style. Our approach builds upon the recent work on painterly transfer
that separates style from the content of an image by considering different
layers of a neural network. However, as is, this approach is not suitable for
photorealistic style transfer. Even when both the input and reference images
are photographs, the output still exhibits distortions reminiscent of a
painting. Our contribution is to constrain the transformation from the input to
the output to be locally affine in colorspace, and to express this constraint
as a custom fully differentiable energy term. We show that this approach
successfully suppresses distortion and yields satisfying photorealistic style
transfers in a broad variety of scenarios, including transfer of the time of
day, weather, season, and artistic edits.
