AI Analysis

It serves as an accessible introduction for readers with basic deep learning knowledge, offering a comprehensive review of existing techniques without presenting new research.

This survey provides an overview of deep learning methods for face generation and editing using StyleGAN, covering its evolution from PGGAN to StyleGAN3 and related topics like GAN inversion and face restoration.

Our goal with this survey is to provide an overview of the state of the art deep learning methods for face generation and editing using StyleGAN. The survey covers the evolution of StyleGAN, from PGGAN to StyleGAN3, and explores relevant topics such as suitable metrics for training, different latent representations, GAN inversion to latent spaces of StyleGAN, face image editing, cross-domain face stylization, face restoration, and even Deepfake applications. We aim to provide an entry point into the field for readers that have basic knowledge about the field of deep learning and are looking for an accessible introduction and overview.
