A coarse-to-fine approach for dynamic-to-static image translation

作者:

Highlights:

• Dynamic-to-static image translation is delicately formulated as an image inpainting-like problem, and a novel coarse-to-fine framework is proposed.

• A simple but effective strategy is designed to handle the presences of object shadows.

• A mutual texture-structure attention module is proposed to enhance the recovery of textures and structures in dynamic areas.

• We generate a new test dataset with high diversity to supplement the existing test dataset.

• Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach.
