This work proposes a novel generative model, FF-GAN (Frontal Face Generative Adversarial Network), for generating high-quality and diverse frontal faces. FF-GAN utilizes contrastive learning to effectively learn the underlying representation of frontal faces from unlabeled image datasets. This approach allows the model to capture the essential characteristics of frontal faces without the need for explicit pose annotations. We evaluate the performance of FF-GAN using established metrics like FID (Fréchet Inception Distance), IS (Inception Score), and SSIM (Structural Similarity Index Measure). The results demonstrate that FF-GAN achieves superior performance compared to existing methods, generating highly realistic and visually appealing frontal faces with exceptional structural coherence. This research contributes to the field of facial image generation by introducing an effective unsupervised learning approach based on contrastive learning for generating high-quality frontal faces.
