• Title: Pose Manipulation with Identity Preservation
• Authors: Andrei-Timotei Ardelean, Lucian Mircea Sasu
• Abstract summary: We introduce Character Adaptive Identity Normalization GAN (CainGAN) which uses spatial characteristic features extracted by an embedder and combined across source images. CainGAN receives figures of faces from a certain individual and produces new ones while preserving the person's identity. Experimental results show that the quality of generated images scales with the size of the input set used during inference.

• Abstract: This paper describes a new model which generates images in novel poses e.g. by altering face expression and orientation, from just a few instances of a human subject. Unlike previous approaches which require large datasets of a specific person for training, our approach may start from a scarce set of images, even from a single image. To this end, we introduce Character Adaptive Identity Normalization GAN (CainGAN) which uses spatial characteristic features extracted by an embedder and combined across source images. The identity information is propagated throughout the network by applying conditional normalization. After extensive adversarial training, CainGAN receives figures of faces from a certain individual and produces new ones while preserving the person's identity. Experimental results show that the quality of generated images scales with the size of the input set used during inference. Furthermore, quantitative measurements indicate that CainGAN performs better compared to other methods when training data is limited.

  We focus on text-to-image systems that input a single image of an individual and ground the generation process along with text describing the desired visual context. We introduce a standardized dataset (Stellar) that contains personalized prompts coupled with images of individuals that is an order of magnitude larger than existing relevant datasets and where rich semantic ground-truth annotations are readily available. We derive a simple yet efficient, personalized text-to-image baseline that does not require test-time fine-tuning for each subject and which sets quantitatively and in human trials a new SoTA.

  Text-to-image diffusion models have excelled in producing diverse, high-quality, and photo-realistic images. We present a novel use of the extended StyleGAN embedding space $mathcalW_+$ to achieve enhanced identity preservation and disentanglement for diffusion models. Our method adeptly generates personalized text-to-image outputs that are not only compatible with prompt descriptions but also amenable to common StyleGAN editing directions.

  We have built a deep learning-based cleft lip generator designed to produce an almost unlimited number of artificial images exhibiting high-fidelity facsimiles of cleft lip. We undertook a transfer learning protocol testing different versions of StyleGAN-ADA. Training images depicting a variety of cleft deformities were pre-processed to adjust for rotation, scaling, color adjustment and background blurring.

  zero-shot GAN adaptation aims to reuse well-trained generators to synthesize images of an unseen target domain. With only a single representative text feature instead of real images, the synthesized images gradually lose diversity. We propose a novel method to find semantic variations of the target text in the CLIP space.
