Fish Body Pattern Style Transfer Based on Wavelet Transformation and Gated Attention

To address the temporal jitter with low segmentation accuracy and the lack of high-precision transformations for specific object classes in video generation, we propose the fish body pattern sync-style network for ornamental fish videos. This network innovatively integrates dynamic texture transfer with instance segmentation, adopting a two-stage processing architecture. First, high-precision video frame segmentation is performed using Mask2Former to eliminate background elements that do not participate in the style transfer process. Then, we introduce the wavelet-gated styling network, which reconstructs a multi-scale feature space via discrete wavelet transform, enhancing the granularity of multi-scale style features during the image generation phase. Additionally, we embed a convolutional block attention module within the residual modules, not only improving the realism of the generated images but also effectively reducing boundary artifacts in foreground objects. Furthermore, to mitigate the frame-to-frame jitter commonly observed in generated videos, we incorporate a contrastive coherence preserving loss into the training process of the style transfer network. This enhances the perceptual loss function, thereby preventing video flickering and ensuring improved temporal consistency. In real-world aquarium scenes, compared to state-of-the-art methods, FSSNet effectively preserves localized texture details in generated videos and achieves competitive SSIM and PSNR scores. Moreover, temporal consistency is significantly improved. The flow warping error index decreases to 1.412. We chose FNST (fast neural style transfer) as our baseline model and demonstrate improvements in both model parameter count and runtime efficiency. According to user preferences, 43.75% of participants preferred the dynamic effects generated by this method.
