Update

  • 2024.09: Update Windows inference script.(Thanks @KFK121)
  • 2024.08: 🤗 This model has been successfully pushed to the Hugging Face kepeng/pgtformer-base, making it accessible to researchers and developers worldwide. Feel free to explore, test, and utilize it
  • 2024.08: We released the initial version of the inference code and models. Stay tuned for continuous updates!
  • 2024.04: This repo is created!

Getting Started

Dependencies and Installation

required packages in requirements

# git clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/kepengxu/PGTFormer
cd PGTFormer

# create new anaconda env
conda create -n pgtformer python=3.8 -y
conda activate pgtformer

# install python dependencies
conda install -c conda-forge dlib
conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg

Quick Inference

Download Pre-trained Models

All pretrained models can also be automatically downloaded during the first inference. You can also download our pretrained models from Google Drive,BaiduYun,Huggingface to the weights folder.

Prepare Testing Data

We provide a example in assets/inputdemovideo.mp4. If you would like to test your own face videos, place them in the same folder.

Inference

[Note] 🚀🚀🚀 Our method does not require pre-alignment to standard face poses and has better consistency. The results will be saved in the results folder.

🧑🏻 Video Face Restoration It is highly recommended to use ffmpeg to enhance the encoded video online, which can maintain the restored quality as much as possible.

# Just Run This 
# Input Video Width and Height == 512
mkdir exp
python inference.py --input_video=assets/inputdemovideo.mp4 --output_video=exp/output_demo.mp4

🚀🚀🚀Awesome Video Face Restoration Method Can be Found There!🚀🚀🚀
