GPEN stands for . Developed by researchers to tackle the limitations of traditional image upscaling, GPEN utilizes a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture—specifically leveraging the power of StyleGAN—to "fill in the blanks" of damaged or low-resolution facial images. gpen-bfr-2048.pth

Because this model expects a 2048x2048 input, you must run a face alignment and cropping step first. If you feed it a full-body photo, it will either crash or produce a nightmare of artifacts. The model only understands faces. # Load the model model = torch
