We model the image as a composite of foreground and background and\ndevelop a layered generative model with disentangled latent variables that can\nbe learned end-to-end using a variational auto-encoder. We experiment with\nnatural images of faces and birds and demonstrate that the proposed models are\ncapable of generating realistic and diverse samples with disentangled latent\nrepresentations. We use a general energy minimization algorithm for posterior\ninference of latent variables given novel images. Therefore, the learned\ngenerative models show excellent quantitative and visual results in the tasks\nof attribute-conditioned image reconstruction and completion.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.00570v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.00570v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"attribute2image-conditional-image-generation","repo_url":"https://github.com/xcyan/eccv16_attr2img","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"torch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"attribute","task_name":"Attribute"},{"task_slug":"conditional-image-generation","task_name":"Conditional Image Generation"},{"task_slug":"image-generation","task_name":"Image Generation"},{"task_slug":"image-reconstruction","task_name":"Image Reconstruction"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1512.00570","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
