Style Transfer Quality by Photo Type (ArtFID Tested)
We tested ArtRobot's Edward Hopper style transfer across 15 photo categories using ArtFID (Art Frechet Inception Distance):
- LPIPS: content preservation. Lower = better.
- FID: style fidelity to authentic Edward Hopper paintings. Lower = more faithful.
Combined formula: ArtFID = (1 + LPIPS) x (1 + FID)
| Photo Category | ArtFID | Stars | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Animals | 219.50 | 5 stars | Excellent -- urban isolation shines here |
| Architecture | 317.64 | 4 stars | Strong -- good architecture results |
| Seascapes | 330.13 | 4 stars | Strong -- good seascapes results |
| Vehicles | 342.31 | 4 stars | Strong -- good vehicles results |
| Landscapes | 347.85 | 4 stars | Strong -- good landscapes results |
| Portraits | 380.87 | 3 stars | Moderate -- partial style capture |
| Street Scenes | 384.08 | 3 stars | Moderate -- partial style capture |
| Fantasy | 388.24 | 3 stars | Moderate -- partial style capture |
| Night Scenes | 394.03 | 3 stars | Moderate -- partial style capture |
| Still Life | 419.73 | 2 stars | Weak -- subject resists transformation |
| Urban Scenes | 420.31 | 2 stars | Weak -- subject resists transformation |
| Flowers | 441.32 | 2 stars | Weak -- subject resists transformation |
| Travel | 457.75 | 2 stars | Weak -- subject resists transformation |
| Interiors | 476.60 | 2 stars | Weak -- subject resists transformation |
