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. When applied to real-world scenarios, it becomes more challenging, due to more complicated degradation, diverse poses and expressions.

Implicit Subspace Prior Learning for Dual-Blind Face Restoration

Lotayou/Face-Renovation 12 Oct 2020

Face restoration is an inherently ill-posed problem, where additional prior constraints are typically considered crucial for mitigating such pathology.

Towards Real-World Blind Face Restoration with Generative Facial Prior

TencentARC/GFPGAN CVPR 2021

Blind face restoration usually relies on facial priors, such as facial geometry prior or reference prior, to restore realistic and faithful details.

RestoreFormer: High-Quality Blind Face Restoration from Undegraded Key-Value Pairs

wzhouxiff/restoreformer CVPR 2022

Blind face restoration is to recover a high-quality face image from unknown degradations.

VQFR: Blind Face Restoration with Vector-Quantized Dictionary and Parallel Decoder

tencentarc/vqfr 13 May 2022

Equipped with the VQ codebook as a facial detail dictionary and the parallel decoder design, the proposed VQFR can largely enhance the restored quality of facial details while keeping the fidelity to previous methods.

Towards Robust Blind Face Restoration with Codebook Lookup Transformer

sczhou/codeformer 22 Jun 2022

In this paper, we demonstrate that a learned discrete codebook prior in a small proxy space largely reduces the uncertainty and ambiguity of restoration mapping by casting blind face restoration as a code prediction task, while providing rich visual atoms for generating high-quality faces.

Multi-Prior Learning via Neural Architecture Search for Blind Face Restoration

yyj1ang/mfpsnet 28 Jun 2022

To this end, we propose a Face Restoration Searching Network (FRSNet) to adaptively search the suitable feature extraction architecture within our specified search space, which can directly contribute to the restoration quality.

Learning Dual Memory Dictionaries for Blind Face Restoration

csxmli2016/dmdnet 15 Oct 2022

Generally, it is a challenging and intractable task to improve the photo-realistic performance of blind restoration and adaptively handle the generic and specific restoration scenarios with a single unified model.

DR2: Diffusion-based Robust Degradation Remover for Blind Face Restoration

Kaldwin0106/DR2_Drgradation_Remover CVPR 2023

However, it is expensive and infeasible to include every type of degradation to cover real-world cases in the training data.

OPHAvatars: One-shot Photo-realistic Head Avatars

lsx0101/ophavatars 18 Jul 2023

And with the coarse video, our method synthesizes a coarse talking head avatar with a deforming neural radiance field.

Dual Associated Encoder for Face Restoration

LIAGM/DAEFR 14 Aug 2023

Restoring facial details from low-quality (LQ) images has remained a challenging problem due to its ill-posedness induced by various degradations in the wild.
