Translate the Facial Regions You Like Using Region-Wise Normalization [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Though GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) based technique has greatly advanced the performance of image synthesis and face translation, only few works available in literature provide region based style encoding and translation. We propose in this paper a region-wise normalization framework, for region level face translation.
