Manual Selection

Our method allows the user to manually select the color correspondences between palettes or ignore some colors when optimizing.
user_selection

To enable this mode, use SELECT_MATCHES = True.

Other useful parameters:

  • SMOOTH: smooth generated mask before optimizing.
  • SHOW_MASKS: to visualize the generated masks during optimization.
  • SIGMA: to control the fall off in the radial basis function when generating the masks. Play with its value to get different results; generally, 0.25 and 0.3 work well in most cases.
  • PALETTE_SIZE: number of colors in each palette.
  • ADD_BLACK_WHITE: to append black and white colors to the final palette before optimizing.
  • STYLE_LOSS_WEIGHT: weight of style loss
  • CONTENT_LOSS_WEIGHT: weight of content loss.
  • COLOR_DISTANCE: similarity metric when computing the mask. Options include: 'chroma_L2' (L2 on chroma space) or 'L2' (L2 on RGB space).
  • STYLE_FEATURE_DISTANCE: similarity metric for style loss. Options include: 'L2' or 'COSINE' (for cosine similarity).
  • CONTENT_FEATURE_DISTANCE: = similarity metric for content loss. Options include: 'L2' or 'COSINE' (for cosine similarity).
  • OPTIMIZER: optimization algorithm. Options include: 'LBFGS', 'Adam', 'Adagrad'.
