女神一秒变路人 腾讯研发'一键卸妆'功能
As virtual makeup apps gain popularity, Chinese developers are working on a way to remove makeup from over-edited photos. Tencent Youtu Lab, an artificial intelligence research lab under tech giant Tencent, released a new algorithm that can reverse over-edited deceiving pictures. Dubbed "makeup-go," the algorithm is claimed to be the first of its kind in the world, and it focuses on tackling the two issues of skin smoothing and skin color change. One of the difficulties mentioned by the lab is that every virtual makeup software performs quite differently, which make it impossible to learn all operations that can smooth skin, suppress wrinkle and freckle, and adjust tone. Therefore, the team designed a new algorithm to reverse pictures "blindly." Also, instead of directly regressing the pictures towards the unedited version, the network regresses levels of principal components of the edited parts separately. As a result, subtle detail information won't be ignored. Makeup-go doesn't handle geometric face-lifting at the moment, the team said in the paper. |
