requirements.txt
# git clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer

Quick Inference
Download Pre-trained Models:
Download the facelib pretrained models from [Google Drive | OneDrive] to the weights/facelib
folder. You can manually download the pretrained models OR download by running the following command.
python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py facelib
Download the CodeFormer pretrained models from [Google Drive | OneDrive] to the weights/CodeFormer
folder. You can manually download the pretrained models OR download by running the following command.
python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py CodeFormer
Prepare Testing Data:
You can put the testing images in the inputs/TestWhole
folder. If you would like to test on cropped and aligned faces, you can put them in the inputs/cropped_faces
folder.
Testing on Face Restoration:
[Note] If you want to compare CodeFormer in your paper, please run the following command indicating --has_aligned
(for cropped and aligned face), as the command for the whole image will involve a process of face-background fusion that may damage hair texture on the boundary, which leads to unfair comparison.
π§π» Face Restoration (cropped and aligned face)
# For cropped and aligned faces
python inference_codeformer.py -w 0.5 --has_aligned --input_path [image folder]|[image path]
# For whole image
# Add '--bg_upsampler realesrgan' to enhance the background regions with Real-ESRGAN
# Add '--face_upsample' to further upsample restorated face with Real-ESRGAN
python inference_codeformer.py -w 0.7 --input_path [image folder]|[image path]
# For Windows/Mac users, please install ffmpeg first
conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
# For video clips
# video path should end with '.mp4'|'.mov'|'.avi'
python inference_codeformer.py --bg_upsampler realesrgan --face_upsample -w 1.0 --input_path [video path]
Fidelity weight w lays in [0, 1]. Generally, smaller w tends to produce a higher-quality result, while larger w yields a higher-fidelity result.
The results will be saved in the results
folder.
