GENERATING SYNTHETIC PHOTO-REALISTIC IMAGES

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to tools and methods for creating synthetic images with photo-realistic images. The disclosed face generation technology focuses on photo-realistic results by leveraging analysis of a pool of pre-selected images based on a user selection and preferences. The tools and methods as described herein include limiting the pool of pre-selected images by one or more criteria, including, for example, but not limited to gender, age, skin color, expression, etc. The pre-selection of a more curated pool of images allows a user to include a desired set of criteria and specifications that the user would want in a generated synthetic image or images.
