In this paper, we propose a novel framework named DRL-CPG to learn disentangled latent representation for controllable person image generation, which can produce realistic person images with desired poses and human attributes (e.g., pose, head, upper clothes, and pants) provided by various source persons. Unlike the existing works leveraging the semantic masks to obtain the representation of each component, we propose to generate disentangled latent code via a novel attribute encoder with transformers trained in a manner of curriculum learning from a relatively easy step to a gradually hard one. A random component mask-agnostic strategy is introduced to randomly remove component masks from the person segmentation masks, which aims at increasing the difficulty of training and promoting the transformer encoder to recognize the underlying boundaries between each component. This enables the model to transfer both the shape and texture of the components. Furthermore, we propose a novel attribute decoder network to integrate multi-level attributes (e.g., the structure feature and the attribute representation) with well-designed Dual Adaptive Denormalization (DAD) residual blocks. Extensive experiments strongly demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to transfer both the texture and shape of different human parts and yield realistic results. To our knowledge, we are the first to learn disentangled latent representations with transformers for person image generation. |
