Hist2Style: Histogram-Guided Stylization with Bilateral Grids
Researchers have developed Hist2Style, a novel method for photorealistic style transfer that operates quickly and efficiently on high-resolution images. This approach uses a bilateral-grid formulation to preserve content and details by applying locally affine transforms in bilateral space. Hist2Style distills a large image editing model into a lightweight network, offering users interactive control over color and tone adjustments through a histogram-based interface. AI
