• Abstract: We propose VecGAN, an image-to-image translation framework for facial attribute editing with interpretable latent directions. Facial attribute editing task faces the challenges of precise attribute editing with controllable strength and preservation of the other attributes of an image. For this goal, we design the attribute editing by latent space factorization and for each attribute, we learn a linear direction that is orthogonal to the others. The other component is the controllable strength of the change, a scalar value. In our framework, this scalar can be either sampled or encoded from a reference image by projection. Our work is inspired by the latent space factorization works of fixed pretrained GANs. However, while those models cannot be trained end-to-end and struggle to edit encoded images precisely, VecGAN is end-to-end trained for image translation task and successful at editing an attribute while preserving the others. Our extensive experiments show that VecGAN achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-arts for both local and global edits.

  We propose an auto-encoder which re-organizes the latent space of StyleGAN, so that each attribute which we wish to edit corresponds to an axis of the new latent space. We show that our approach has greater disentanglement than competing methods, while maintaining fidelity to the original image with respect to identity.

  We propose a self-supervised approach to improve the spatial steerability of GANs without searching for steerable directions in the latent space. Specifically, we design randomly sampled Gaussian heatmaps to be encoded into the intermediate layers of generative models as spatial inductive bias. During inference, users can interact with the spatial heatmaps in an intuitive manner, enabling them to edit the output image by adjusting the scene layout, moving, or removing objects.

  We propose a unified model for open-domain image editing focusing on color and tone adjustment of open-domain images.

We show that by inverting image pairs into latent codes of the learned editing space, our model can be leveraged for various downstream editing tasks.

  Controllable semantic image editing enables a user to change entire image attributes with few clicks.

We propose quantitative evaluation strategies for measuring controllable editing performance, unlike prior work which primarily focuses on qualitative evaluation.
