Application of Artificial Intelligence Virtual Image Technology in Photography Art Creation Under Deep Learning
Abstract
With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning technologies, virtual image generation exhibits significant potential for application in photographic art creation. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the use of AI virtual image technology in photography, particularly focusing on achieving creative expression and artistic style transfer through deep learning models. Consequently, this study proposes a novel model that integrates conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) with variational autoencoders (VAEs). This model aims to effectively address the challenges associated with image generation and style conversion in photographic art by leveraging the realistic generation capabilities of cGANs alongside the diversity maintenance features of VAEs. In the experimental section, the proposed cGANs + VAEs model is systematically compared with traditional Deep Convolutional GANs (DCGAN) and Pix2Pix models through empirical analysis. The experimental results indicate that the cGANs + VAEs model significantly outperforms traditional models in terms of image quality, artistic expression, and user satisfaction. Expert reviews further confirm the model’s superiority in artistic style imitation and creative generation. Additionally, user surveys reveal that most participants are highly satisfied with the images generated by the model, particularly regarding artistic perception and visual effects. Moreover, the cGANs + VAEs model demonstrates strong performance in Frechet Inception Distance (FID) and Inception Score (IS) across multiple datasets, yielding FID values of 13.67, 9.45, and 11.90 on the COCO, CelebA, and WikiArt datasets, respectively. In summary, the proposed cGANs + VAEs model not only achieves remarkable advancements in the technical performance of image generation but also exhibits considerable potential for practical applications in photographic art creation.
