Synthetic image translation has significant potentials in autonomous transportation systems.

The main issue with unpaired image-to-image translation is the ill-posed nature of the problem. In thi…

Multi-domain image-to-image translation is a problem where the goal is to learn mappings among multiple domains.

Many image-to-image translation problems are ambiguous, as a single input image may correspond to multiple possible outputs. In this work, we aim to model a \emph{distribution} of possible outputs in a conditional generative modeling setting. The ambiguity of the mapping is distilled in a low-dimensional latent vector,…
