Introduction

We propose a Poisson blending loss that achieves the same purpose of Poisson Image Editing. We jointly optimize the proposed Poisson blending loss with style and content loss computed from a deep network, and reconstruct the blending region by iteratively updating the pixels using the L-BFGS solver. In the blending image, we not only smooth out gradient domain of the blending boundary but also add consistent texture into the blending region.

Usage

In terminal, execute the following command: python run.py

Please check the arguments in the code for you application.
