Progressive Pose Attention Transfer for Person Image Generation

pose transfer

• condition image + target pose
  • pose: heat maps
• images of all possible poses constitute a manifold
  • which structure is simple at local level but hard to transfer at global level
  • progressive transfer: a sequence of intermediate pose representations
    • attention mechanism: where to sample from and where to put patches
    • heat map of where to sample
    • concatenate new pose to the older one(subsampled)
• plus perceptual L1 loss
