This work proposed a semi-supervised method for automatic texture filtering. Our method leveraged a limited amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data to train Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Separate loss functions were designed for both labeled and unlabeled datasets. Our main contribution is the introduction of knowledge extracted from shallow and deep layers in neural networks. Loss defined within shallow layers preserves the edge, while loss defined within the deep layers identifies the semantic content and conversely removes the small-scale texture variations. This contribution directly addresses the major challenge for texture filtering, distinguishing the structural content from non-structural textures at the pixel level. The extracted information, in our study, improved the content and color consistency before and after the process of filtering, for unlabeled samples in particular. The proposed method offers twofold benefits: first, significant reductions in the amounts of time and effort expended in reconstructing the labeled dataset, especially given the delicate operations required at the pixel level; second, a reduction in over-fitting, in supervised learning with a small amount of labeled data, by utilizing a large amount of unlabeled data. The results confirm that our method can perform comparably with non-learning-based methods, alleviating the demand for the determination of optimal parameter values.
