TLDR
MaskGAN as mentioned in this paper proposes MaskGAN to enable diverse and interactive face manipulation by learning style mapping between a free-form user modified mask and a target image, enabling diverse generation results.
Abstract
Facial image manipulation has achieved great progress in recent years. However, previous methods either operate on a predefined set of face attributes or leave users little freedom to interactively manipulate images. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a novel framework termed MaskGAN, enabling diverse and interactive face manipulation. Our key insight is that semantic masks serve as a suitable intermediate representation for flexible face manipulation with fidelity preservation. MaskGAN has two main components: 1) Dense Mapping Network (DMN) and 2) Editing Behavior Simulated Training (EBST). Specifically, DMN learns style mapping between a free-form user modified mask and a target image, enabling diverse generation results. EBST models the user editing behavior on the source mask, making the overall framework more robust to various manipulated inputs. Specifically, it introduces dual-editing consistency as the auxiliary supervision signal. To facilitate extensive studies, we construct a large-scale high-resolution face dataset with fine-grained mask annotations named CelebAMask-HQ. MaskGAN is comprehensively evaluated on two challenging tasks: attribute transfer and style copy, demonstrating superior performance over other state-of-the-art methods. The code, models, and dataset are available at https://github.com/switchablenorms/CelebAMask-HQ.

SSTRN: Semantic Style Transfer Reference Network for Face Super-Resolution

TL;DR: Reference super-resolution (RefSR) has achieved promising results in the single image superresolution (SISR) field by providing additional details from the reference images as mentioned in this paper , but these methods usually tend to extract similar or aligned features from reference images to further enhance the resolution of the final result.

Structure First Detail Next: Image Inpainting with Pyramid Generator.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a pyramid generator by stacking several sub-generators, where lower-layer subgenerators focus on restoring image structures and higher-layer subsumers emphasize image details, and given an image, it will be gradually restored by going through the entire pyramid in a bottom-up fashion.

Generative Adversarial Nets

TL;DR: A new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which two models are simultaneously train: a generative model G that captures the data distribution and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G.
