Exploring Attribute-Based Facial Synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks for Enhanced Patient Simulator Systems

Image generation using deep learning generative models has witnessed significant strides in various domains, particularly in scene and object generation. However, the complexities escalate when applied to facial image generation, especially in healthcare scenarios where detailed and realistic depictions are crucial. This paper introduces a pioneering approach to generating lifelike faces with specific attributes, including age, hair color, and gender, leveraging the manipulable latent space of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The proposed system not only holds promise for applications such as criminal identification and film production but also showcases practical implications in the healthcare domain. By offering a user-friendly interface for attribute input and face display, the system facilitates healthcare professionals in generating diverse patient avatars for medical training simulations. The implementation utilizes Python, PyTorch, and the CelebA dataset, with the training process conducted on Google Colab for computational efficiency. This work represents a novel intersection of advanced deep learning, human-computer interaction, and real-world healthcare applications, providing a holistic exploration of attribute-driven face synthesis in the medical field.
