What is Arc2Face?
Arc2Face represents a groundbreaking foundation model designed for ID-consistent face generation. It's capable of producing diverse, identity-consistent photographs of individuals using only their ArcFace ID-embedding as input. The model has been trained on an enhanced version of the WebFace42M face recognition database and further refined using FFHQ and CelebA-HQ datasets.
Implementation Details
The model architecture consists of two primary components: an encoder (fine-tuned CLIP ViT-L/14) and the arc2face model (fine-tuned UNet). Both components are based on the stable-diffusion-v1-5 architecture but have been specifically adapted for face generation tasks. The encoder is specialized in projecting ID-embeddings to the CLIP latent space, while Arc2Face focuses on transforming these embeddings into photorealistic faces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this model unique?
Arc2Face's ability to generate identity-consistent faces from just ArcFace embeddings sets it apart, making it particularly valuable for face synthesis applications where identity preservation is crucial.
Q: What are the recommended use cases?
The model is ideal for face generation tasks requiring identity consistency, research in facial recognition systems, and applications needing controlled face synthesis with pose manipulation.
