AUPOD: End-to-End Automatic Poster Design by Self-Supervision

The automatic design has become a popular topic in the application field of computer vision technologies. Previous methods for automatic design are mostly saliency-based, relying on an off-the-shelf model for saliency map detection and hand-crafted aesthetic rules for ranking on multiple proposals....

description The automatic design has become a popular topic in the application field of computer vision technologies. Previous methods for automatic design are mostly saliency-based, relying on an off-the-shelf model for saliency map detection and hand-crafted aesthetic rules for ranking on multiple proposals. We argue that the multi-stage generation and the excessive reliance on saliency map hindered the progress of pursuing better automatic design solutions. In this work, we explore the possibility of a saliency-free solution in a representative scenario, automatic poster design. We propose a novel end-to-end framework to solve the automatic poster design problem, which is divided into the layout prediction and attributes identification sub-tasks. We design a neural network based on multi-modality feature extraction to learn the two sub-tasks jointly. We train the deep neural network in our framework with automatically extracted supervision from semi-structured posters, bypassing a large amount of required manual labor. Both qualitative and quantitative results show the impressive performance of our end-to-end approach after discarding the explicit saliency detection module. Our system learned on self-supervision performs well on the automatic design by learning aesthetic constraints implicitly in the neural networks.
