Google patents AI method to keep your face recognizable under digital makeup
Google describes a system that uses AI to apply digital makeup to a photo while keeping the person's original facial features intact. It creates training data by comparing a plain photo with a version that has makeup applied, helping a third AI model learn how to add makeup to other people's photos without changing their identity.
In the filing’s own words
A method includes obtaining, by a processing device and using a first artificial intelligence (AI) model, a first image depicting a face of a first person without a makeup effect and, from a second AI model, a second image depicting the face of the first person with the makeup effect. A third image is generated based on the first image and one or more facial features of the first person reflected in the second image. Training data to train a third AI model is then generated. The training data is based on the first image and the third image, and wherein the third AI model is trained to apply a makeup effect to an image depicting a second person.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: obtaining, by a processing device and using a first artificial intelligence (AI) model, a first image depicting a face of a first person without a makeup effect; obtaining, using a second AI model, a second image depicting the face of the first person with the makeup effect; generating a third image based on the first image and one or more facial features of the first person reflected in the second image; and generating training data to train a third AI model, wherein the training data is based on the first image and the third image, and wherein the third AI model is trained to apply a makeup effect to an image depicting a second person.
