Programmers have created a free tool that will restore your old photos

Louis Bouchard и PetaPixel drew attention to a free tool recently developed by Tencent researchers, GFP-GAN (Generative Facial Prior-Generative Adversarial Network), which can repair corrupted and low resolution photos, reports Engadget.

The free technology combines information from two AI models to fill in the missing details of a photo with realistic detail in seconds while maintaining high accuracy and quality.

Anyone can free try out GFP-GAN demo.

Conventional methods fine-tune the existing AI model for image reconstruction by measuring the differences between artificial and real photographs. According to scientists, this often leads to substandard results. The new approach uses a pre-trained version of an existing model (NVIDIA StyleGAN-2) to inform the group's own model at multiple stages of the imaging process. This technique aims to preserve the "identity" of the people in the photograph, with particular emphasis on facial features such as eyes and mouths.
You can try the GFP-GAN demo for free. The creators have also published their code, allowing anyone to implement the recovery technology in their projects.

This project is still bound by the limitations of the current AI. While it's surprisingly accurate, it makes educated guesses about missing content. The researchers warned that you might see "a slight change in personality" and a lower resolution than you'd like. Don't rely on this to print a poster-sized photo of your grandparents. However, the work here is promising - it hints at a future where you can easily salvage images that would otherwise be lost to the ravages of time.
