ABSTRACT
Facial makeup transfer is a special form of image style transfer. For the reference makeup image with large-pose, improving the quality of the image generated after makeup transfer is still a challenging problem worthy of discussion. In this paper, a large-pose makeup transfer algorithm based on generative adversarial network (GAN) is proposed. First, a face alignment module (FAM) is introduced to locate the key points, such as the eyes, mouth and skin. Secondly, a face parsing module (FPM) and face parsing losses are designed to analyze the source image and extract the face features. Then, the makeup style code is extracted from the reference image and the makeup transfer is completed through integrating facial features and makeup style code. Finally, a large-pose makeup transfer (LPMT) dataset is collected and constructed. Experiments are carried out on the traditional makeup transfer (MT) dataset and the new LPMT dataset. The results show that the image quality generated by the proposed method is better than that of the latest method for large-pose makeup transfer.
