Abstract
A computer-implemented method of changing a face within an output image or video frame includes: receiving an input image that includes a face presenting a facial expression in a pose; separately encoding different portions of the image by, for each separately encoded portion, generating a latent space point of the portion, thereby generating a plurality of multi-dimensional vectors where each multi-dimensional vector is an encoded representation of a different portion of the input image; concatenating the plurality of multi-dimensional vectors into a combined latent space vector; and decoding the combined latent space vector to generate the output image in accordance with a desired facial identity but with the facial expression and pose of the face in the input image.
