DAGAN: A Domain-Aware Method for Image-to-Image Translations by Xu Yin, Yan Li, Byeong-Seok Shin

“…Although this technique has been widely used for visual predication tasks—such as classification and image segmentation—and achieved great results, we still failed to perform flexible translations when attempting to learn different mappings, especially for images containing multiple instances. To tackle this problem, we propose a generative framework DAGAN (Domain-aware Generative Adversarial etwork) that enables domains to learn diverse mapping relationships. …”
