Cosmetic Transformation Through Image Synthesis

A cosmetic transformation system comprising:

• a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory;
• an image synthesis software code stored in the system memory;
• the hardware processor configured to execute the image synthesis software code to:
• receive a user facial image depicting a user of the cosmetic transformation system;
• receive a reference facial image for transforming to resemble the user facial image, the reference facial image projecting an identifiable persona;
• obtain first metadata describing first key geometric features of the user facial image;
• obtain second metadata describing second key geometric features of the reference facial image;
• and
• transform the reference facial image to resemble the user facial image, based on the first metadata describing first key geometric features of the user facial image and the second metadata describing second key geometric features of the reference facial image;
• wherein transforming the reference facial image preserves the identifiable persona projected by the reference facial image.

A method for use by a cosmetic transformation system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing an image synthesis software code, the method comprising:

• receiving, using the hardware processor, a user facial image depicting a user of the cosmetic transformation system;
• receiving, using the hardware processor, a reference facial image for transforming to resemble the user facial image, the reference facial image projecting an identifiable persona;
• obtaining, using the hardware processor, first metadata describing first key geometric features of the user facial image;
• obtaining, using the hardware processor, second metadata describing second key geometric features of the reference facial image;
• and
• transforming, using the hardware processor, the reference facial image to resemble the user facial image, based on the first metadata describing first key geometric features of the user facial image and the second metadata describing second key geometric features of the reference facial image;
• wherein transforming the reference facial image preserves the identifiable persona projected by the reference facial image.
