Abstract

Face attribute synthesis technology aims to reconstruct face attributes according to the specified target while retaining the identity information of face images. The development of computer vision technology has provided a new solution for face attribute synthesis technology. To this end, this paper focused on the face attribute synthesis dataset, traditional and GAN synthesis networks, and face semantics. It reviewed the development of facial attribute synthesis technology. First, this paper analyzed the traditional methods and mainstream deep learning methods in the field of FAS, explored the development status of GAN-based methods, divided GAN-based facial attribute synthesis models into supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised, and divided facial attributes into three semantic categories of age, expression and makeup, and conducted in-depth research on multiple synthesis models. Secondly, this paper analyzed and summarized typical loss functions. At the same time, this paper introduced the commonly used facial attribute datasets and evaluation indicators. Finally, this paper introduced the problems with existing face attribute synthesis methods and proposed prospects for the future development of this field.
