Synthesis: our results

Images sampled from our personalized generator for each subject. Note how our method is able to robustly produce high-quality images that preserve the subject's identity.

Inpainting: our results

Results of applying the personalized prior to the task of image inpainting. Although key parts of the face are occluded, our method is able to recover the individual's true likeliness.

Super-resolution: our results

Results of applying the personalized prior to the task of image super-resolution. Given an extremely low-resolution image (32 x 32) of a known individual, our method is able to generate a high-resolution image (1024 x 1024) that best fits the input while preserving their personal identity.

Note that our method is not designed to recover the non-face areas. Hence, as a post-processing step, the raw model output is segmented into face and non-face regions, and the non-face region is replaced by a Lanczos-upsampled version of the input. That's why the background may look "blocky" in some results. See the paper for more details.

Pose & smile editing: our results

Our personalized prior can also be applied to the semantic editing of portrait images. Here, we show two examples: editing the subject's pose (rotating left/right), and their smile (less/more smile). As shown below, each individual's identity is perserved throughout the editing range.

Synthesis: comparisons

We compare our synthesis results with state-of-the-art methods (see paper for details). Our method consistently produces results that are more natural-looking and identity-preserving.

Inpainting: comparisons

While other generative inpainting methods also produce high image quality, they don't preserve the individual's identity as well as ours, even after fine-tuning on this individual's dataset.

Super-resolution: comparisons

This section compares our personalized prior against state-of-the-art methods on the application of image super-resolution. The input image is 16 x 16 pixels. The output image is 512 x 512 for GPEN (16x magnification), and 1024 x 1024 for DiffAugment and our method (32x magnification). Since GPEN is a generic model without personalization, we also tried to fine-tune the model using the same personal dataset for each individual until the LPIPS loss converges. However, our method still outperforms the rest in terms of image quality (lack of artifacts) and identity preservation.

Note that none of the methods is designed to recover the non-face areas. We applied the same post-processing to our results (see above), but not to the other methods, since the face detector and segmenter don't always work reliably on their outputs due to low quality.

Pose & smile editing: comparisons

Comparing with other semantic editing methods, the personalized prior significantly improves identity preservation, especially when the "edit distance" is large. Below, we show one static example and one GIF animation for each editing method.
