A GAN-Based Virtual Barbershop

Here's a new system that will let you test different hairstyles before visiting a barber. 

Check out a new GAN-based system that lets users try on different haircuts. The new research focuses on image blending and the problem of hairstyle transfer, using GAN-inversion as the basis.

"We propose a novel latent space for image blending which is better at preserving detail and encoding spatial information, and propose a new GAN-embedding algorithm which is able to slightly modify images to conform to a common segmentation mask," states the abstract. "Our novel representation enables the transfer of the visual properties from multiple reference images including specific details such as moles and wrinkles, and because we do image blending in a latent-space we are able to synthesize images that are coherent."

The team states their new model allows avoiding blending artifacts to generate a globally consistent image promising the system works "over 95 percent of the time".
