Abstract

Video stylization transfers a source video into an artistic version while maintaining temporal coherence between adjacent frames. In this paper, we formulate the unsupervised example-based video stylization with Markov random field model. In our algorithm, we implement an improved optical flow algorithm to maintain temporal coherence while improve the accuracy of estimation along motion boundaries. We also extend our algorithm to the application of video personalization, in which human faces keep clear and distinguishable. A series of techniques are fused in video personalization, including face detection and alignment, motion flow, skin detection, and illumination blending. Given a source video and a style template image, our algorithm produces the stylized and/or personalized video(s) automatically. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm performs excellently in both video stylization and personalization.
