• Authors: Yeqi Bai, Tao Ma, Lipo Wang, Zhenjie Zhang
• Abstract summary: Facial image generation based on vocal characteristics from speech is one of such important yet challenging tasks. Existing solutions to the problem of speech2face renders limited image quality and fails to preserve facial similarity. We propose Speech Fusion to Face, or SF2F, attempting to address the issue of facial image quality and the poor connection between vocal feature domain and modern image generation models.

• Abstract: While deep learning technologies are now capable of generating realistic images confusing humans, the research efforts are turning to the synthesis of images for more concrete and application-specific purposes. Facial image generation based on vocal characteristics from speech is one of such important yet challenging tasks. It is the key enabler to influential use cases of image generation, especially for business in public security and entertainment. Existing solutions to the problem of speech2face renders limited image quality and fails to preserve facial similarity due to the lack of quality dataset for training and appropriate integration of vocal features. In this paper, we investigate these key technical challenges and propose Speech Fusion to Face, or SF2F in short, attempting to address the issue of facial image quality and the poor connection between vocal feature domain and modern image generation models. By adopting new strategies on data model and training, we demonstrate dramatic performance boost over state-of-the-art solution, by doubling the recall of individual identity, and lifting the quality score from 15 to 19 based on the mutual information score with VGGFace classifier.

  RealTalk is an audio-to-expression transformer and a high-fidelity expression-to-face framework. In the first component, we consider both identity and intra-personal variation features related to speaking lip movements. In the second component, we design a lightweight facial identity alignment (FIA) module. This novel design allows us to generate fine details in real-time, without depending on sophisticated and inefficient feature alignment modules.

  We tackle the challenge of face recognition in the wild, where images often suffer from low quality and real-world distortions. Traditional approaches-either training models directly on degraded images or their enhanced counterparts using face restoration techniques-have proven ineffective. We propose an effective adapter for augmenting existing face recognition models trained on high-quality facial datasets.
