Unleashing the Power of GANs: The Dawn of Interactive Image Manipulation
How Drag Your GAN is changing the game.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been making waves in the tech industry, and for good reason. They have the potential to revolutionize how we interact with digital content, and a recent development in this field is a testament to this fact. The technology in question is an interactive point-based manipulation on the generative image manifold, as detailed in the SIGGRAPH ’23 Conference Proceedings.
The Power of Interactive Point-Based Manipulation
The technology, aptly named “Drag Your GAN,” allows users to perform a series of manipulations on generated images. For instance, users can edit the pose, hair, shape, and expression of a face in an image. This level of control is unprecedented and opens up a world of possibilities for digital content creation and manipulation.
The Evolution of GANs
The evolution of GANs has seen several methods proposed for editing unconditional GANs by manipulating the input latent vectors. Some approaches find meaningful latent directions via supervised learning from manual annotations or prior 3D models. Other approaches compute the important semantic directions in the…
