2022.3.31: Our new work regarding old film restoration will be published in CVPR 2022. For more details, please refer to the project website and github repo.
The framework now supports the restoration of high-resolution input.
Training code is available and welcome to have a try and learn the training details.
You can now play with our Colab and try it on your photos.
The code is tested on Ubuntu with Nvidia GPUs and CUDA installed. Python>=3.6 is required to run the code.
Clone the Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch repository for
cd Face_Enhancement/models/networks/
git clone https://github.com/vacancy/Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch
cp -rf Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch/sync_batchnorm .
cd ../../../
cd Global/detection_models
git clone https://github.com/vacancy/Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch
cp -rf Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch/sync_batchnorm .
cd ../../
Download the landmark detection pretrained model
cd Face_Detection/
wget http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
bzip2 -d shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
cd ../
Download the pretrained model, put the file Face_Enhancement/checkpoints.zip under ./Face_Enhancement, and put the file Global/checkpoints.zip under ./Global. Then unzip them respectively.
cd Face_Enhancement/
wget https://github.com/microsoft/Bringing-Old-Photos-Back-to-Life/releases/download/v1.0/face_checkpoints.zip
unzip face_checkpoints.zip
cd ../
cd Global/
wget https://github.com/microsoft/Bringing-Old-Photos-Back-to-Life/releases/download/v1.0/global_checkpoints.zip
unzip global_checkpoints.zip
cd ../
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtNote: GPU can be set 0 or 0,1,2 or 0,2; use -1 for CPU
You could easily restore the old photos with one simple command after installation and downloading the pretrained model.
For images without scratches:
python run.py --input_folder [test_image_folder_path] \
--output_folder [output_path] \
--GPU 0
For scratched images:
python run.py --input_folder [test_image_folder_path] \
--output_folder [output_path] \
--GPU 0 \
--with_scratch
For high-resolution images with scratches:
python run.py --input_folder [test_image_folder_path] \
--output_folder [output_path] \
--GPU 0 \
--with_scratch \
--HR
Note: Please try to use the absolute path. The final results will be saved in ./output_path/final_output/. You could also check the produced results of different steps in output_path.
Currently we don't plan to release the scratched old photos dataset with labels directly. If you want to get the paired data, you could use our pretrained model to test the collected images to obtain the labels.
cd Global/
python detection.py --test_path [test_image_folder_path] \
--output_dir [output_path] \
--input_size [resize_256|full_size|scale_256]
A triplet domain translation network is proposed to solve both structured degradation and unstructured degradation of old photos.
cd Global/
python test.py --Scratch_and_Quality_restore \
--test_input [test_image_folder_path] \
--test_mask [corresponding mask] \
--outputs_dir [output_path]
python test.py --Quality_restore \
--test_input [test_image_folder_path] \
--outputs_dir [output_path]
We use a progressive generator to refine the face regions of old photos. More details could be found in our journal submission and ./Face_Enhancement folder.
NOTE: This repo is mainly for research purpose and we have not yet optimized the running performance.
Since the model is pretrained with 256*256 images, the model may not work ideally for arbitrary resolution.
A user-friendly GUI which takes input of image by user and shows result in respective window.
- Run GUI.py file.
- Click browse and select your image from test_images/old_w_scratch folder to remove scratches.
- Click Modify Photo button.
- Wait for a while and see results on GUI window.
- Exit window by clicking Exit Window and get your result image in output folder.
Put the folders of VOC dataset, collected old photos (e.g., Real_L_old and Real_RGB_old) into one shared folder. Then
cd Global/data/
python Create_Bigfile.py
Note: Remember to modify the code based on your own environment.

Note: For the --name option, please ensure your experiment name contains "domainA" or "domainB", which will be used to select different dataset.
