Abstract
As face editing scenarios have become popular, the face inpainting technique has become a hot topic. Although some existing methods can inpaint faces with preserved identity information, they fail to solve a more flexible inpainting problem that fills the “holes” with identity-specific content from other faces. In this work, we propose a disentangle and subject-agnostic framework that affects both full and partial-face inpainting with the guidance of a reference face image. The framework consists of an identity encoding module, a content inference module and a generative module. The identity encoding module extracts the identity embedding from the reference image, the content inference module learns to predict the content image, and the generative module integrates the content image and the reference identity embedding to generate the identity-specific inpainted result. To minimize the structure and style gap between the incomplete image and inpainted image, we use a double attribute loss to the generative module and a postprocess of blending operation to the swapped result. We compare our method with state-of-the-art works and demonstrate that our method achieves higher identity similarity and better structural correctness.
