Abstract

Image-to-image translation is a computer vision problem where a task learns a mapping from a source domain A to a target domain B using a training set. However, this translation is not always accurate, and during the translation process, relevant semantic information can deteriorate. To handle this problem, we propose a new cycle-consistent, adversarially trained image-to-image translation with a loss function that is constrained by semantic segmentation. This formulation encourages the model to preserve semantic information during the translation process. For this purpose, our loss function evaluates the accuracy of the synthetically generated image against a semantic segmentation model, previously trained. Reported results show that our proposed method can significantly increase the level of details in the synthetic images. We further demonstrate our method’s effectiveness by applying it as a dataset augmentation technique, for a minimal dataset, showing that it can improve the semantic segmentation accuracy.
