Besides transferring rich texture styles, WarpGAN\nlearns to automatically predict a set of control points that can warp the photo\ninto a caricature, while preserving identity. We introduce an\nidentity-preserving adversarial loss that aids the discriminator to distinguish\nbetween different subjects. Moreover, WarpGAN allows customization of the\ngenerated caricatures by controlling the exaggeration extent and the visual\nstyles. Experimental results on a public domain dataset, WebCaricature, show\nthat WarpGAN is capable of generating a diverse set of caricatures while\npreserving the identities. Five caricature experts suggest that caricatures\ngenerated by WarpGAN are visually similar to hand-drawn ones and only prominent\nfacial features are exaggerated.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.10100v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.10100v3.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":"warpgan-automatic-caricature-generation","repo_url":"https://github.com/seasonSH/WarpGAN","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"warpgan-automatic-caricature-generation","repo_url":"https://github.com/ronny3050/AdvFaces","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"warpgan-automatic-caricature-generation","repo_url":"https://github.com/sunniesuhyoung/DST","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"photo-to-caricature-translation","task_name":"Photo-To-Caricature Translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1811.10100","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1811.10100","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
