摘要

This paper presents a novel end-to-end emotion-preserving face de-identification approach based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), specifically utilizing the StyleGAN architecture. The proposed method generates natural-looking de-identified images by creating a synthetic face dataset and leveraging the DeepFace model for gender classification and representative image selection. To enhance emotion preservation, an improved SimSwap framework is introduced, incorporating a novel loss function designed to maintain emotional expressions. The DeepFace model is further utilized to classify and recognize emotional expressions in both original and de-identified images. Emotion preservation during face swapping is explicitly enforced by minimizing attribute preservation loss. A comprehensive ablation study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed GAN components. Experimental results show that the method outperforms recent face de-identification techniques in both accuracy and emotion preservation.
