Swapping between two images.

[AIdeveloper-oz]

Hi, I am a great fan for this kinda works and my appreciations to you. On analyzing the code, I get to know that, you swap face from an image to the face in a video feed. I have seen image to image face swapping using 68/81 facial keypoints. The results of your work seem to be better than keypoint based method. Is there any implementation of segmentation based swapping between images? Help, if you could.
Thanks.

What do you mean a segmentation based swapping? This work uses segmentation.

[AIdeveloper-oz]

Yeah, I am aware of that. I referred **Segmentation based swapping ** to your work only. I found you are doing it between videos, where frames are played with. I simply wanted to try this between two images. (src image, target image -> segmentation->copy the src mask on target image). Maybe this is simple and I am a new bee. Help, if you could.
Thanks.

You can just use a single frame video, this will be effectively an image base swap.

You can also use a *.gif as target_video (instead of *.mp4) and as result_video use also *.gif

Then you have to change the following lines in part_swap.py

(241) fps = reader.get_meta_data()['fps']
--> #fps = reader.get_meta_data()['fps']

(244) imageio.mimsave(opt.result_video, [img_as_ubyte(frame) for frame in predictions], fps=fps, bitrate=bitrate)
-->imageio.mimsave(opt.result_video, [img_as_ubyte(frame) for frame in predictions])
