The annual Israel Machine Vision Conference (IMVC) took place on March 6, 2018 at David InterContinental Tel Aviv.
Prof. Lihi Zelnik Manor spoke at a conference on “Image Synthesis and the Challenges it Poses”.

Abstract:

Recent work has shown impressive success in automatically synthesizing new images with desired properties such as transferring painterly style, modifying facial expressions or manipulating the center of attention of the image. In this talk I will discuss two of the standing challenges in image synthesis and how we tackle them:
I will describe our efforts in making the synthesized images more photorealistic.
I will further show how we can broaden the scope of data that can be used for training synthesis networks, and with that provide a solution to new applications.
