Transformation of portraits to Picasso’s cubism style

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the transformation of portrait photographs to Picasso’s cubism style using deep learning and image processing techniques. We obtain the side-view face by rotating the face model constructed from a frontal portrait image 90$$^\circ $$ and then replace the left half of the portrait by the side-view face. Our approach is applicable to online transformation of selfie photographs and potentially extendable to broader categories of images and artistic styles.
