We propose an image filtering technique that removes various image styles. To destylize a given image, we define image styles as repeated patterns existing in the image. For dll pixels of the image, we compute image styles as style vectors. We remove image styles by using bilateral filtering based on these style vectors. Destylization results show well smoothed images while preserving feature boundaries. Our method effectively removes image styles and reveals image structures clearly, and results can be applied to several applications such as texture transfer.
