Research Progress of Face Editing Based on Deep Generative Model

Abstract

Face editing is widely used in public security pursuits,face beautification and other fields.Traditional statistical me-thods and prototype-based methods are the main means to solve face editing.However,these traditional technologies face pro-blems such as difficult operation and high computational cost.In recent years,with the development of deep learning,especially the emergence of generative networks,a brand new idea has been provided for face editing.Face editing technology using deep generative models has the advantages of fast speed and strong model generalization ability.In order to summarize and review the related theories and research on the use of deep generative models to solve the problem of face editing in recent years,firstly,we introduce the network framework and principles adopted by the face editing technology based on deep generative models.Then,the methods used in this technology are described in detail,and we summarize it into three aspects:image translation,introduction of conditional information within the network,and manipulation of potential space.Finally,we summarize the challenges faced by this technology,which consists of identity consistency,attribute decoupling,and attribute editing accuracy,and point out the issues of the technology that need to be resolved urgently in future.
