Semantic‐aware visual consistency network for fused image harmonisation by Huayan Yu, Hai Huang, Yueyan Zhu, Aoran Chen

“…To better preserve the input semantic information, the authors design a simple and effective semantic‐aware adaptive denormalisation (SADE) module. Experimental results demonstrate that the authors’ proposed method achieves competitive performance on the iHarmony4 dataset and benefits from the harmonisation of fused images with incompatible appearance gaps.…”
