Video stylization by single image example

In this paper, we propose a novel method for transferring artistic styles from a single image to a video clip. This new method can be considered as an extension of the image analogies technique in the domain of video processing. The method is built upon a previous fast texture transfer algorithm. The main contribution of our work lies in an extra constraint added to the original formulation, which preserves temporal coherence during frame-wise texture transfer. The experimental results show that this new constraint successfully helps suppress the artifacts of flickering, “stained-glass” and dragging, which are the main causes of temporal incoherence.
