Abstract
Editing and retouching facial attributes is a complex task that usually requires human artists to obtain photo-realistic results. Its applications are numerous and can be found in several contexts such as cosmetics or digital media retouching, to name a few. Recently, advancements in conditional generative modeling have shown astonishing results at modifying facial attributes in a realistic manner. However, current methods are still prone to artifacts, and focus on modifying global attributes like age and gender, or local mid-sized attributes like glasses or moustaches. In this work, we revisit a two-stage approach for retouching facial wrinkles and obtain results with unprecedented realism. First, a state of the art wrinkle segmentation network is used to detect the wrinkles within the facial region. Then, an inpainting module is used to remove the detected wrinkles, filling them in…
