Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

 Dear Xintao Wang,

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:


𝗚𝗙𝗣-𝗚𝗔𝗡 is a blind face restoration algorithm towards real-world face images. It leverages the generative face prior in a pre-trained GAN to restore realistic faces while preserving fidelity.

Blind face restoration aims at recovering high-quality faces from the low-quality counterparts suffering from unknown degradation, such as low-resolution, noise, blur, compression artifacts, etc.

This Generative Facial Prior (GFP) is incorporated into the face restoration process via channel-split spatial feature transform layers, which allow for a good balance between realness and fidelity.

The results are amazing!

I looked up >  https://xinntao.github.io/projects/gfpgan  ( not being tech-savvy, could not understand anything ! )

 

Third  :

 

Wondered , could your innovative tech, improve my following “ Marriage Film “ ( shot on 8mm celluloid film, on 17 Nov 1959 ) ?
