Current image-to-image translations do not control the output domain beyond the classes used during training, nor do they interpolate between different domains well, leading to implausible results. This limitation largely arises because labels do not consider the semantic distance. To mitigate such problems, we propose a style-aware discriminator that acts as a critic as well as a style encoder to provide conditions. The style-aware discriminator learns a controllable style space using prototype-based self-supervised learning and simultaneously guides the generator. Experiments on multiple datasets verify that the proposed model outperforms current state-of-the-art image-to-image translation methods. In contrast with current methods, the proposed approach supports various applications, including style interpolation, content transplantation, and local image translation.

In this paper, we propose a dense depth estimation pipeline for multiview 360° images. The proposed pipeline leverages a spherical camera model that compensates for radial distortion in 360° images. The key contribution of this paper is the extension of a spherical camera model to multiview by introducing a translation scaling scheme. Moreover, we propose an effective dense depth estimation method by setting virtual depth and minimizing photonic reprojection error. We validate the performance of the proposed pipeline using the images of natural scenes as well as the synthesized dataset for quantitive evaluation. The experimental results verify that the proposed pipeline improves estimation accuracy compared to the current state-of-art dense depth estimation methods.
