Background

This code implements a fast post processing to make images photorealistic using Screened Poisson Equation (SPE)

Style transfer algorithms generate unrealistic images, this algorithm is a post-processing to any style transfer method (such as Gatys et al.). The algorithm solves the Screen Poisson equation to combine the stylized image with the original image gradients.

Use

To run one pair of images use

example.m

core functions:

doPoissonCombination.m, updateImagePoisson.m

if you are using Linux or OS, see issue#2 for solution since the attach mex file will not work.
