New method improves identity-consistent makeup transfer using synthetic and real data

Researchers have developed a new method for makeup transfer that better preserves identity and generalizes to real-world scenarios. The approach uses a novel data curation pipeline called ConsistentBeauty to ensure synthesized data maintains makeup fidelity and strict identity consistency. Additionally, the RealBeauty framework adapts the model to real-world conditions through reinforcement learning and tailored rewards, allowing it to learn from real makeup patterns beyond synthetic supervision. A new benchmark has also been established to evaluate performance across diverse conditions. AI

IMPACT Enhances generative model capabilities for image manipulation tasks, potentially improving creative tools and virtual try-on applications.

    From Synthetic to Real: Toward Identity-Consistent Makeup Transfer with Synthetic and Real Data

    Makeup transfer aims to apply the makeup style of a reference portrait to a source portrait while preserving identity and background. Early methods formulate this task as unsupervised image-to-image translation, relying on surrogate objectives and often yielding limited performan…
