contents In this work, we focus on exploring explicit fine-grained control of generative facial image editing, all while generating faithful facial appearances and consistent semantic details, which however, is quite challenging and has not been extensively explored, especially under an one-shot scenario. We identify the key challenge as the exploration of disentangled conditional control between high-level semantics and explicit parameters (e.g., 3DMM) in the generation process, and accordingly propose a novel diffusion-based editing framework, named DisControlFace. Specifically, we leverage a Diffusion Autoencoder (Diff-AE) as the semantic reconstruction backbone. To enable explicit face editing, we construct an Exp-FaceNet that is compatible with Diff-AE to generate spatial-wise explicit control conditions based on estimated 3DMM parameters. Different from current diffusion-based editing methods that train the whole conditional generative model from scratch, we freeze the pre-trained weights of the Diff-AE to maintain its semantically deterministic conditioning capability and accordingly propose a random semantic masking (RSM) strategy to effectively achieve an independent training of Exp-FaceNet. This setting endows the model with disentangled face control meanwhile reducing semantic information shift in editing. Our model can be trained using 2D in-the-wild portrait images without requiring 3D or video data and perform robust editing on any new facial image through a simple one-shot fine-tuning. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that DisControlFace can generate realistic facial images with better editing accuracy and identity preservation over state-of-the-art methods.
