Modifying the facial images with desired attributes is important, though challenging tasks in computer vision, where it aims to modify single or multiple attributes of the face image. Some of the existing methods are either based on…
We propose an algorithm to generate realistic face images of both real and synthetic identities (people who do not exist) with different facial yaw, shape and resolution.The synthesized images can be used to augment datasets to train CNNs…
Face photo synthesis from simple line drawing is a one-to-many task as simple line drawing merely contains the contour of human face. Previous exemplar-based methods are over-dependent on the datasets and are hard to generalize to…
