Face synthesis using generative adversarial networks

Abstract:

Training a generative adversarial network (GAN) for use in facial recognition, comprising providing an input image of a particular face into a facial recognition system to obtain a faceprint; obtaining, based on the input faceprint and a noise value, a set of output images from a GAN generator; obtaining feedback from a GAN discriminator, wherein obtaining feedback comprises inputting each output image into the GAN discriminator and determining a set of likelihood values indicative of whether each output image comprises a facial image; determining, based on each output image, a modified noise value; inputting each output image into a second facial recognition network to determine a set of modified faceprints; defining, based on each modified noise value and modified faceprint, feedback for the GAN generator, wherein the feedback comprises a first value and a second value; and modifying control parameters of the GAN generator.
