## **DeepFaceLab** is a tool that utilizes deep learning to recognize and swap faces in pictures and videos. Based on original FaceSwap repo. **Facesets** of FaceSwap or FakeApp are **not compatible** with this repo. You should to run extract again. ### **Features**: - new models - new architecture, easy to experiment with models - works on 2GB old cards , such as GT730. Example of fake trained on 2GB gtx850m notebook in 18 hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bprVuRxBA34 - face data embedded to png files - automatic GPU manager, chooses best gpu(s) and supports --multi-gpu (only for identical cards) - new preview window - extractor in parallel - converter in parallel - added **--debug** option for all stages - added **MTCNN extractor** which produce less jittered aligned face than DLIBCNN, but can produce more false faces. Comparison dlib (at left) vs mtcnn on hard case: ![](https://i.imgur.com/5qLiiOV.gif) MTCNN produces less jitter. - added **Manual extractor**. You can fix missed faces manually or do full manual extract: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/manual_extractor_0.jpg) ![Result](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8076202/38454756-0fa7a86c-3a7e-11e8-9065-182b4a8a7a43.gif) - standalone zero dependencies ready to work prebuilt binary for all windows versions, see below ### **Model types**: - **H64 (2GB+)** - half face with 64 resolution. It is as original FakeApp or FaceSwap, but with new TensorFlow 1.8 DSSIM Loss func and separated mask decoder + better ConverterMasked. for 2GB and 3GB VRAM model works in reduced mode. H64 Robert Downey Jr.: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/H64_Downey_0.jpg) ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/H64_Downey_1.jpg) - **H128 (3GB+)** - as H64, but in 128 resolution. Better face details. for 3GB and 4GB VRAM model works in reduced mode. H128 Cage: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/H128_Cage_0.jpg) H128 asian face on blurry target: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/H128_Asian_0.jpg) ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/H128_Asian_1.jpg) - **DF (5GB+)** - @dfaker model. As H128, but fullface model. Strongly recommended not to mix various light conditions in src faces. ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/DF_Cage_0.jpg) - **LIAEF128 (5GB+)** - new model. Result of combining DF, IAE, + experiments. Model tries to morph src face to dst, while keeping facial features of src face, but less agressive morphing. Model has problems with closed eyes recognizing. LIAEF128 Cage: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/LIAEF128_Cage_0.jpg) ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/LIAEF128_Cage_1.jpg) LIAEF128 Cage video: [![Watch the video](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mRsexePEVco/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRsexePEVco) - **LIAEF128YAW (5GB+)** - currently testing. Useful when your src faceset has too many side faces vs dst faceset. It feeds NN by sorted samples by yaw. - **MIAEF128 (5GB+)** - as LIAEF128, but also it tries to match brightness/color features. MIAEF128 model diagramm: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/MIAEF128_diagramm.png) MIAEF128 Ford success case: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/MIAEF128_Ford_0.jpg) MIAEF128 Cage fail case: ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/MIAEF128_Cage_fail.jpg) - **AVATAR (4GB+)** - non GAN, 256x256 face controlling model. ![](https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab/blob/master/doc/AVATAR_Navalniy_0.jpg) Video: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3M0E4QnWMqA/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M0E4QnWMqA) Usage: src - controllable face (Cage) dst - controller face (your face) converter --input-dir must contains *extracted dst faces* in sequence to be converted, its mean you can train on 1500 dst faces, but use only 100 for convert. - Video comparison of different Cage facesets. Vertical: 1 - mix of various Cage face shape and light conditions. 2,3,4 - without mix. Horizontal: 1 - DF, 2 - LIAEF128. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/C1nFgrmtm_o/0.jpg)](https://youtu.be/C1nFgrmtm_o) Conclusion: **better not to mix and use only same shape faces with same light** ### **Sort tool**: `hist` groups images by similar content `hist-dissim` places most similar to each other images to end. `hist-blur` sort by blur in groups of similar content `brightness` `hue` `face` and `face-dissim` currently useless Best practice for gather src faceset: 1) delete first unsorted aligned groups of images what you can to delete. Dont touch target face mixed with others. 2) `blur` -> delete ~half of them 3) `hist` -> delete groups of similar and leave only target face 4) `hist-blur` -> delete blurred at end of groups of similar 5) `hist-dissim` -> leave only first **1000-1500 faces**, because number of src faces can affect result. For YAW feeder model skip this step. 6) `face-yaw` -> just for finalize faceset Best practice for dst faces: 1) delete first unsorted aligned groups of images what you can to delete. Dont touch target face mixed with others. 2) `hist` -> delete groups of similar and leave only target face ### **Facesets**: - Nicolas Cage 4 facesets (1 mix + 3 different) download from here: https://mega.nz/#F!y1ERHDaL!PPwg01PQZk0FhWLVo5_MaQ ### **Build info** dlib==19.10.0 from pip compiled without CUDA. Therefore you have to compile DLIB manually. Command line example for windows: `python setup.py install -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" --yes DLIB_USE_CUDA` ### **Prebuilt python folder with DeepFaceLab**: Windows 7,8,8.1,10 zero dependency (just install/update your GeForce Drivers) prebuilt Python 3.6.5 embeddable folder with DeepFaceLab can be downloaded from torrent https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75318742 (magnet link inside). ### **Windows 10 memory problem: Windows 10 consumes % of VRAM even if card unused for video output. ### **Pull requesting**: I understand some people want to help. But result of mass people contribution we can see in deepfakes\faceswap. High chance I will decline PR. Therefore before PR better ask me what you want to change or add to save your time.
