| Abstract |
This paper proposes a novel framework for high-quality facial expression manipulation using continuous emotion labels, namely valence and arousal. The proposed model first transforms a facial image into an intermediate latent representation, then modifies this vector according to the given emotional values, and finally reconstructs a high-resolution image. By simply integrating a lightweight multilayer perceptron into a pre-existing face transformation model, the framework remains simple yet effective. Extensive quantitative and qualitative comparisons demonstrate the superior performance and reliability of the proposed method. |
