Abstract: In this paper, we introduce DreamID, a diffusion-based face swapping model
that achieves high levels of ID similarity, attribute preservation, image
fidelity, and fast inference speed. Unlike the typical face swapping training
process, which often relies on implicit supervision and struggles to achieve
satisfactory results. DreamID establishes explicit supervision for face
swapping by constructing Triplet ID Group data, significantly enhancing
identity similarity and attribute preservation. The iterative nature of
diffusion models poses challenges for utilizing efficient image-space loss
functions, as performing time-consuming multi-step sampling to obtain the
generated image during training is impractical. To address this issue, we
leverage the accelerated diffusion model SD Turbo, reducing the inference steps
to a single iteration, enabling efficient pixel-level end-to-end training with
explicit Triplet ID Group supervision. Additionally, we propose an improved
diffusion-based model architecture comprising SwapNet, FaceNet, and ID Adapter.
This robust architecture fully unlocks the power of the Triplet ID Group
explicit supervision. Finally, to further extend our method, we explicitly
modify the Triplet ID Group data during training to fine-tune and preserve
specific attributes, such as glasses and face shape. Extensive experiments
demonstrate that DreamID outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of
identity similarity, pose and expression preservation, and image fidelity.
Overall, DreamID achieves high-quality face swapping results at 512*512
resolution in just 0.6 seconds and performs exceptionally well in challenging
scenarios such as complex lighting, large angles, and occlusions.
