GFPGAN (Generative Facial Prior GAN) is an open source face repair algorithm developed by Tencent ARC (Applied Research Center). The algorithm utilizes rich and diverse prior factors encapsulated in pre-trained facial GANs (e.g., StyleGAN2) for blind face repair.GFPGAN can effectively repair low-quality, old or AI-generated face images, solving the problems of detail loss and texture blurring that existed in the traditional methods, and realizing high-quality facial image repair and generation.
Function List
- Blind face repair: no a priori assumptions about the input image are required, enabling true blind repair.
- High-quality image generation: utilizing the prior knowledge of pre-trained face GAN, the generated results are more natural with good identity consistency.
- Low-quality image processing: Very low-quality input images can be processed to improve image quality.
- Open Source Project: Provide source code to facilitate secondary development and research by developers.
