AUEditNet: Dual-Branch Facial Action Unit Intensity Manipulation with Implicit Disentanglement

arXiv:2404.05063v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Facial action unit (AU) intensity plays a pivotal role in quantifying fine-grained expression behaviors, which is an effective condition for facial expression manipulation. However, publicly available datasets containing intensity annotations for multiple AUs remain severely limited, often featuring a restricted number of subjects. This limitation places challenges to the AU intensity manipulation in images due to disentanglement issues, leading researchers to resort to other large datasets with pretrained AU intensity estimators for pseudo labels. In …
