• Abstract summary: We propose a new anonymization method that generates realistic humans for in-the-wild images. A key part of our design is to guide adversarial nets by dense pixel-to-surface correspondences between an image and a canonical 3D surface. We demonstrate that surface guidance significantly improves image quality and diversity of samples, yielding a highly practical generator.

• Abstract: Recent work on image anonymization has shown that generative adversarial networks (GANs) can generate near-photorealistic faces to anonymize individuals. However, scaling up these networks to the entire human body has remained a challenging and yet unsolved task. We propose a new anonymization method that generates realistic humans for in-the-wild images. A key part of our design is to guide adversarial nets by dense pixel-to-surface correspondences between an image and a canonical 3D surface. We introduce Variational Surface-Adaptive Modulation (V-SAM) that embeds surface information throughout the generator. Combining this with our novel discriminator surface supervision loss, the generator can synthesize high quality humans with diverse appearances in complex and varying scenes. We demonstrate that surface guidance significantly improves image quality and diversity of samples, yielding a highly practical generator. Finally, we show that our method preserves data usability without infringing privacy when collecting image datasets for training computer vision models.

  Facial recognition using deep convolutional neural networks relies on the availability of large datasets of face images.

In this work we incorporate a 3D morphable model into the generator of a GAN in order to learn a nonlinear texture model from in-the-wild images. This allows generation of new, synthetic identities, and manipulation of pose, illumination and expression without compromising the identity.
