GAN-based Face Mask Removal using Facial Landmarks and Pixel Errors in Masked Region

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

In 2020 and beyond, the opportunities to communicate with others while wearing a face mask have increased. A mask hides the mouth and facial muscles, making it difficult to convey facial expressions to others. In this study, we propose to use generative adversarial networks (GAN) to complete the facial region hidden by the mask. We defined custom loss functions that focus on the errors of the feature point coordinates of the face and the pixels in the masked region. As a result, we were able to generate images with higher quality than existing methods.
