    Due to the global outbreak of coronaviruses, people are increasingly wearing masks even when photographed. As a result, photos uploaded to web pages and social networking services with the lower half of the face hidden are less likely to convey the attractiveness of the photographed persons. In this study, we propose a method to complete facial mask regions using StyleGAN2, a type of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). In the proposed method, a reference image of the same person without a mask is prepared separately from a target image of the person wearing a mask. After the mask region in the target image is temporarily inpainted, the face orientation and contour of the person in the reference image are changed to match those of the target image using StyleGAN2. The changed image is then composited into the mask region while correcting the color tone to produce a mask-free image while preserving the person's features.
