  • Publication number: 20240412429
    Abstract: Systems and methods for editing multiple attributes of an image are described. Embodiments are configured to receive input comprising an image of a face and a target value of an attribute of the face to be modified; encode the image using an encoder of an image generation neural network to obtain an image embedding; and generate a modified image of the face having the target value of the attribute based on the image embedding using a decoder of the image generation neural network. The image generation neural network is trained using a plurality of training images generated by a separate training image generation neural network, and the plurality of training images include a first synthetic image having a first value of the attribute and a second synthetic image depicting a same face as the first synthetic image with a second value of the attribute.

  • Publication number: 20240404012
    Abstract: Systems and methods generate paired image data comprising synthesized eyeglass reflections and use the paired image data to train a machine learning model for reflection removal. A training dataset is generated that includes image pairs. Each image pair comprises a first version of a face image with eyeglasses not having a reflection and a second version of the face image with eyeglasses having a reflection. A first image pair in the training dataset is generated by: obtaining a first face image with eyeglasses not having a reflection, obtaining a reflection image, and generating a composite image using the first face image and the reflection image. Once generated, the training dataset is used to train a machine learning model to provide a trained machine learning model that performs reflection removal on input face images with eyeglass reflections.
