Abstract
En 中文
Multimodal Conditioned face image generation and face super-resolution are significant areas of research. To achieve optimal results, this paper utilizes diffusion models as the primary engine for these tasks. This paper presents two main contributions: (1) Speaking the Language of Faces (SLF): a flexible, modular, fusion-less and architecturally simple multimodal system. (2) A Scalability scheme and a sensitivity analysis which can assist practitioners in system parameter estimation and feature selection. SLF consists of two main components: a feature vector generator (encoder), and an image generator (decoder) utilizing a conditional diffusion model. SLF can accept various inputs, including low-resolution images, speech signals, person attributes (age, gender, ethnicity), or any combination of these. Moreover, Scalability based on conditional scale values is utilized. The implementation of SLF has confirmed its versatility (e.g., speech to face image generation, conditioned face super-resolution). We trained multiple system versions to conduct a sensitivity analysis and to determine the influence of each individual feature on the output image. Consequently, speaker embeddings have proven to be sufficient audio features for our task. It was also found that the effects of audio signals are profound and are more pronounced than those of the low resolution images (8x8), whose effects are still significant. The effect of gender, ethnicity and age were found to be moderate. On another note, conditional scale values significantly impact the system's behavior and performance.
