- Abstract: Our task is to remove all facial parts (e.g., eyebrows, eyes, mouth and
nose), and then impose visual elements onto the ``blank'' face for augmented
reality. Conventional object removal methods rely on image inpainting
techniques (e.g., EdgeConnect, HiFill) that are trained in a self-supervised
manner with randomly manipulated image pairs. Specifically, given a set of
natural images, randomly masked images are used as inputs and the raw images
are treated as ground truths. Whereas, this technique does not satisfy the
requirements of facial parts removal, as it is hard to obtain ``ground-truth''
images with real ``blank'' faces. To address this issue, we propose a novel
data generation technique to produce paired training data that well mimic the
``blank'' faces. In the mean time, we propose a novel network architecture for
improved inpainting quality for our task. Finally, we demonstrate various
face-oriented augmented reality applications on top of our facial parts removal
model. Our method has been integrated into commercial products and its
effectiveness has been verified with unconstrained user inputs. The source
codes, pre-trained models and training data will be released for research
purposes.

We propose a facial representation learning method using synthetic images for comparing faces, called ComFace.

Our ComFace, trained using only synthetic data, achieves comparable to or better transfer performance than general pre-training and state-of-the-art representation learning methods trained using real images.

FaceChain is a personalized portrait generation framework that combines a series of customized image-generation model and a rich set of face-related perceptual understanding models.
We inject several SOTA face models into the generation procedure, achieving a more efficient label-tagging, data-processing, and model post-processing compared to previous solutions.
Based on FaceChain, we further develop several applications to build a broader playground for better showing its value, including virtual try on and 2D talking head.
