Abstract
An image cartoonization method that incorporated attention mechanism and structural line extraction was proposed in order to address the problem that image cartoonization does not highlight important feature information in the image and insufficient edge processing. The generator network with fused attention mechanism was constructed, which extracted more important and richer image information from different features by fusing the connections between features in space and channels. A line extraction region processing module (LERM) in parallel with the global one was designed to perform adversarial training on the edge regions of cartoon textures in order to better learn cartoon textures. This method not only generates cartoonish images with high perceptual quality in terms of important areas and details, but also avoids the loss of content and color. The extensive experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved better cartoonization, which validated the effectiveness of the method.
