Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed configured to pre-train an autoencoder using images that include faces, wherein the autoencoder comprises an input layer, an encoder configured to output a latent image from a corresponding input image, and a decoder configured to attempt to reconstruct the input image from the latent image. An image sequence of a CGI sculpted and textured face exhibiting a plurality of facial expressions and transitions between facial expressions is accessed. Images of the plurality of facial expressions and transitions between facial expressions are captured from a plurality of different angles. The pre-trained autoencoder is trained using source images that include a CGI face with different facial expressions captured at different angles, and using destination images that include a real face. The trained autoencoder is used to generate an output where the real face in the destination images is swapped with the CGI face, while preserving expressions of the real face.
