SimSwap
SimSwap is a deep learning face swapping framework and computer vision media processor built with PyTorch. It functions as an image synthesis tool designed to replace a person's identity in images and videos with a target face using a single trained model.
The system operates as a video identity replacement tool that swaps identities across frames while preserving the original expressions and lighting of the source media. It enables digital identity manipulation and the production of synthetic media through automated facial feature mapping.
The framework supports both the application of trained models to swap faces in media and the ability to train custom face-swapping models using specific image datasets.
