StyLandGAN: A StyleGAN based Landscape Image Synthesis using Depth-map
Despite recent success in conditional image synthesis, prevalent input conditions such as semantics and edges are not clear enough to express `Linear (Ridges)' and `Planar (Scale)' representations. To address this problem, we propose a novel framework StyLandGAN, which synthesizes desired landscape images using a depth map which has higher expressive power. Our StyleLandGAN is extended from the unconditional generation model to accept input conditions. We also propose a '2-phase inference' pipeline which generates diverse depth maps and shifts local parts so that it can easily reflect user's intend. As a comparison, we modified the existing semantic image synthesis models to accept a depth map as well. Experimental results show that our method is superior to existing methods in quality, diversity, and depth-accuracy.
