Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of digital image processing, and more specifically, to image synthesis using generative adversarial networks. Background technique
[0002] Facial recognition systems require sample facial images from users to be recognized. Some facial recognition systems use a large number of cameras with known attributes placed at known locations under carefully controlled settings to generate the large number of sample facial images required for the system's enrollment process and training. In addition to being expensive and elaborate, such systems are bulky and not readily available to the average user. While facial recognition accuracy benefits from a greater number and diversity of sample facial images during enrollment, providing such images would greatly increase the burden on users. Contents of the invention
[0003] In one embodiment, a method of training a generative adversarial network (GAN) for fac...
