Abstract

Deep learning models based on autoencoders and generative adversarial networks (GANs) have enabled increasingly realistic face-swapping tasks. Surveillance cameras for detecting people and faces to monitor human behavior are becoming more common. Training AI models for these detection and monitoring tasks require large sets of facial data that represent ethnic, gender, and age diversity. In this work, we propose the use of generative facial manipulation techniques to build a new representative data augmentation set to be used in deep learning training for tasks involving the face. In the presented step, we implemented one of the most famous facial switching architectures to demonstrate an application for anonymizing personal data and generating synthetic data with images of drivers’ faces during their work activity. Our case study generated synthetic facial data from a driver at work. The results were convincing in facial replacement and preservation of the driver’s expression.
