  • Apparatus for leveling person image and operating method thereof
    Patent number: 11915513
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus for performing leveling of a person image and an operating method thereof. The method includes: receiving an original person image; selecting an arbitrary latent vector in a latent space; generating a virtual person image based on the latent vector; optimizing the latent vector such that identity similarity between the original person image and the virtual person image increases; manipulating the optimized latent vector; and generating a levelled person image corresponding to the original person image, by using the manipulated latent vector.
    Type: Grant
