Image Restoration is the process of converting a noisy/blur/low quality image to a better-quality image in terms of resolution, color, noise, and blur.


Image Restoration techniques involve Deblurring, colorization, super resolution enhancement and other popular techniques as well.


This kit provides the solution for

  • Restoring old images to colored images
  • Upscale and enhance image resolution


The Image colorization is done by a technique called NoGAN from an open source project called "deoldify". Deoldify is a shading rendering model for images and videos that enables the restoration of native color to black and white photos and videos.


The Image Upscaling and enhancement is done through a technique called GFPGAN which uses Generative Adversarial Networks comprising of Deep learning techniques for Face/Image restoration.
