Predict, Prevent, and Evaluate: Disentangled Text-Driven Image Manipulation Empowered by Pre-Trained Vision-Language Model
share
To achieve disentangled image manipulation, previous works depend heavily on manual annotation. Meanwhile, the available manipulations are limited to a pre-defined set the models were trained for. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, i.e., Predict, Prevent, and Evaluate (PPE), for disentangled text-driven image manipulation, which does not need manual annotation and thus is not limited to fixed manipulations. Our method approaches the targets by deeply exploiting the power of the large scale pre-trained vision-language model CLIP. Concretely, we firstly Predict the possibly entangled attributes for a given text command. Then, based on the predicted attributes, we introduce an entanglement loss to Prevent entanglements during training. Finally, we propose a new evaluation metric to Evaluate the disentangled image manipulation. We verify the effectiveness of our method on the challenging face editing task. Extensive experiments show that the proposed PPE framework achieves much better quantitative and qualitative results than the up-to-date StyleCLIP baseline.
