Disney develops Face swapping technology that could change how movies are made

A new paper published by Disney Research in partnership with ETH Zurich describes a fully automated, neural network-based method for swapping faces in photos and videos

Researchers claim that their model can produce video with a 1024 x 1024 resolution

The new algorithm created by the researchers starts by actually modifying the source to make it easier for alternate faces to be swapped in.

This   was intended for use in replacing an existing actor’s performance with a substitute actor’4-s face, for instance when de-aging or increasing the age of someone.
