AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF STYLIZED ICONS

Abstract:

In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for generating a stylized icon automatically. After a query text inputted by a user is obtained, a trained generator is used to generate a structured icon that can characterize a structure of an object, and then the structured icon is stylized, such as performing color padding or adding other styles, so as to generate a high-quality stylized icon for the user. In embodiments of the present disclosure, a structured icon and a stylized icon are generated respectively at two stages, where the structured icon can clearly characterize the structure of the object, while the stylized icon can be richer in color and style. Therefore, the stylized icon generated according to embodiments of the present disclosure has a higher quality and is more realistic, thereby improving the user experience of icon generation.
