Identity-preserving image generation becomes increasingly unreliable when a scene must contain many specified people. Beyond retaining each identity, the model must bind every reference to a distinct person and location, while training-time identity losses must establish correspondence among several noisy predicted faces.

Face Video Restoration (FVR) aims to recover high-fidelity facial videos from degraded input while preserving identity and semantic consistency across frames. Existing methods often struggle to simultaneously address three key challenges: identity shift, viewpoint-entangled guidance, and perceptual realism.
arXiv:2606. 11670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Subject-preserving video generation is not solved by frontal-face similarity alone: a generated person must remain recognizable across motion, large viewpoint changes, expression shifts, occlusion, scale variation, and conflicts among text, first-frame, and identity references.

Generating and editing a person's face demands high precision, as even minor modifications can significantly alter a subject's perceived identity. Current personalization and editing methods built on general-purpose text-to-image models, however, often lack the precision required for fine-grained facial edits.

The paper introduces a video summarization method that fuses facial embeddings, 3D body‑shape features, and visual appearance within a multi‑object tracking framework. By hierarchically assigning identities and using bidirectional anchoring, it robustly recovers trajectories even under heavy occlusion or low visual quality. Keyframes are selected through a multi‑factor weighting scheme that balances biometric clarity, social interaction, and motion dynamics, while Adaptive Non‑Maximum Suppression guarantees temporal diversity, resulting in a compact, identity‑centric summary.

The paper introduces DirectSwap, a mask‑free video head‑swapping method that leverages a newly created cross‑identity paired dataset, HeadSwapBench. By synthesizing expression‑synchronized video pairs from real footage, the authors provide frame‑aligned ground truth for full‑reference evaluation of identity, expression, pose, reconstruction fidelity, and temporal stability. DirectSwap outperforms traditional same‑identity masked reconstruction, especially when head silhouettes change, and can restore non‑head content without external segmentation.

arXiv:2607. 16287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have enabled photorealistic novel-view synthesis of 3D scenes and, in the facial domain, have been extended to reconstruct and animate 3D face models from a small number of images.
