The codeformer is a robust face restoration algorithm developed by researchers at the Nanyang Technological University's S-Lab, focused on enhancing old photos or AI-generated faces. It builds upon previous work like GFPGAN and Real-ESRGAN, adding new capabilities for improved fidelity and quality. Unlike GFPGAN which aims for "practical" restoration, codeformer takes a more comprehensive approach to handle a wider range of challenging cases. Model inputs and outputs The codeformer model accepts an input image and allows users to control various parameters to balance the quality and fidelity of the restored face. The main input is the image to be enhanced, and the model outputs the restored high-quality image. Inputs Image**: The input image to be restored, which can be an old photo or an AI-generated face. Fidelity**: A parameter that controls the balance between quality (lower values) and fidelity (higher values) of the restored face. Face Upsample**: A boolean flag to further upsample the restored face with Real-ESRGAN for high-resolution AI-created images. Background Enhance**: A boolean flag to enhance the background image along with the face restoration. Outputs Restored Image**: The output image with the face restored and enhanced. Capabilities The codeformer model is capable of robustly restoring faces in challenging scenarios, such as low-quality, old, or AI-generated images. It can handle a wide range of degradations, including blurriness, noise, and artifacts, producing high-quality results. The model also supports face inpainting and colorization for cropped and aligned face images. What can I use it for? The codeformer model can be used for a variety of applications, such as restoring old family photos, enhancing profile pictures, or fixing defects in AI-generated avatars and artwork. It can be particularly useful for individuals or businesses working with historical archives, digital art, or social media applications. The model's ability to balance quality and fidelity makes it suitable for both creative and practical uses. Things to try One interesting aspect of the codeformer model is its ability to handle a wide range of face degradations, from low-quality scans to AI-generated artifacts. You can try experimenting with different types of input images, adjusting the fidelity parameter to see the impact on the restored results. Additionally, the face inpainting and colorization capabilities can be explored on cropped and aligned face images, opening up creative possibilities for photo editing and restoration.

The LEDNet model is a joint low-light enhancement and deblurring AI model developed by researchers at Nanyang Technological University's S-Lab. It is designed to improve the quality of low-light and blurry images, allowing for better visibility and detail in dark or motion-blurred scenes. The model can be particularly useful for applications like night photography, surveillance, and automotive imaging, where low-light and blurriness are common challenges. Compared to similar models like rvision-inp-slow, stable-diffusion, and gfpgan, LEDNet focuses specifically on jointly addressing the issues of low-light and motion blur, rather than tackling a broader range of image restoration tasks. This specialized approach allows it to achieve strong performance in its target areas. Model inputs and outputs LEDNet takes a single input image and produces an enhanced, deblurred output image. The model is designed to work with low-light, blurry input images and transform them into clearer, better-illuminated versions. Inputs Image**: The input image, which can be a low-light, blurry photograph. Outputs Enhanced image**: The output of the LEDNet model, which is a version of the input image that has been improved in terms of brightness, contrast, and sharpness. Capabilities The key capabilities of LEDNet are its ability to simultaneously enhance low-light conditions and remove motion blur from images. This allows it to produce high-quality results in challenging lighting and movement scenarios, where traditional image processing techniques may struggle. What can I use it for? LEDNet can be particularly useful for a variety of applications that involve low-light or blurry images, such as: Night photography: Improving the quality of images captured in low-light conditions, such as at night or in dimly lit indoor spaces. Surveillance and security: Enhancing the visibility and detail of footage captured by security cameras, particularly in low-light or fast-moving situations. Automotive imaging: Improving the clarity of images captured by in-vehicle cameras, which often face challenges due to low light and motion blur. General image restoration: Enhancing the quality of any low-light, blurry image, such as old or damaged photographs. Things to try One interesting aspect of LEDNet is its ability to handle both low-light and motion blur issues simultaneously. This means you can experiment with using the model on a wide range of challenging images, from night landscapes to fast-moving sports scenes, and see how it performs in restoring clarity and detail. Additionally, you can try combining LEDNet with other image processing techniques, such as gfpgan for face restoration, to see if you can achieve even more impressive results.
