Illustrated Character Face Super-Deformation via Unsupervised Image-to-Image Translation
Abstract: In this study, we introduce a new image generation task: the super-deformation of character images. We propose a GAN-based training method that does not require paired data. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach generates more natural and appropriate super-deformed images compared to existing methods.
