This paper proposes a method for generating masked face images using a generative adversarial network (GAN) and spatial transformer networks. The proposed method is used to solve the present problem of lacking face datasets of people wearing masks. Based on the GAN, the proposed method introduces a multiscale convolution kernel to extract image characteristics in various dimensions. This method introduces the Wasserstein divergence to measure the distance between an authentic specimen and a synthetic specimen so that generator’s performance can be optimized. Experiments show that the proposed method can add a mask to a face image effectively without any annotations on the original image, and the synthesized image has high fidelity.
