With a few simple clicks you can transform into one of your selfies in a scary zombie. Don’t worry, you won’t have to go through an image editor since all the work will be done by a neural network.
You only need to go through the application ” Make me a zombie” created by Jose Brown Kramer, and upload your photos so that the transformation takes place with a click.
Simply put, pass the image of your face captured in the photograph through the neural network to give it those characteristics “zombies”. While there are no major requirements for the image you upload, it is important that your face looks good, looks straight ahead and has a good resolution. And of course, make your smile as wide as possible, as you see in the test images in the app, teeth are part of the transformation.
While it may seem like a simple process for any user who visits the app, there is a whole process behind this neural network:
I downloaded 50,000 pairs of images, the first from the human StyleGAN2 generator and the second with the same representation of latent space, but it went through the zombie generator. Then I used Pix2PixHD to learn a mapping of the pairs
To take zombie patterns he used hand-picked images taken from Pinterest and Google with zombie masks and makeup in different contexts, as the creator explains on Reddit. On the other hand, it ensures that the photos uploaded by users are not saved or recorded.
