Text Style Transfer With Decorative Elements

Abstract

The text rendered by special effects can give a rich visual experience. Text stylization can help users migrate their favorite styles to specified texts, improving production efficiency and saving design cost. This paper proposes a novel text stylization framework, which can transfer mixed text styles, including font glyph and fine decorations, to user-specified texts. The transfer of decorative elements is difficult due to the text is obscured by decorative elements to a certain extent. Our method is divided into three stages: firstly, the position of decorative elements in the image is extracted and retained; secondly, the effects of font glyph and textures other than decorative elements are migrated; finally, a structure-aware strategy is used to reorganize the decorative elements to complete the entire stylization process. Experiments on open source text data sets demonstrated the advantages of our approach over other state- of-the-art style migration methods.
