Semantics-Guided Object Removal for Facial Images: with Broad Applicability and Robust Style Preservation. (arXiv:2209.14479v1 [cs.CV])

Object removal and image inpainting in facial images is a task in which
objects that occlude a facial image are specifically targeted, removed, and
replaced by a properly reconstructed facial image. Two different approaches
utilizing U-net and modulated generator respectively have been widely endorsed
for this task for their unique advantages but notwithstanding each method's
innate disadvantages. U-net, a conventional approach for conditional GANs,
retains fine details of unmasked regions but the style of the reconstructed
image is inconsistent with …
