Face Restoration

Face Colorization

Face Inpainting

Conditional Image Synthesis (Seg2Face)

News

(2021-07-06) The training code will be released soon. Stay tuned.

(2021-10-11) The Colab demo for GPEN is available now .

(2021-10-22) GPEN can now work with SR methods. A SR model trained by myself is provided. Replace it with your own model if necessary.

Usage

• Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/yangxy/GPEN.git
cd GPEN

• Download RetinaFace model and our pre-trained model (not our best model due to commercial issues) and put them into weights/.

  RetinaFace-R50 | GPEN-BFR-512 | GPEN-BFR-512-D | GPEN-BFR-256 | GPEN-Colorization-1024 | GPEN-Inpainting-1024 | GPEN-Seg2face-512 | rrdb_realesrnet_psnr

• Restore face images:

python face_enhancement.py --model GPEN-BFR-512 --size 512 --channel_multiplier 2 --narrow 1 --use_sr --indir examples/imgs --outdir examples/outs-BFR

• Colorize faces:

python face_colorization.py

• Complete faces:

python face_inpainting.py

• Synthesize faces:

python segmentation2face.py
