why was codeformer removed #266

Open brycedrennan opened 1 year ago

brycedrennan commented 1 year ago

Just wondering if there is a problem with it. Is it worse than restoreformer?

netrunner-exe commented 1 year ago

I agree, CodeFormer gives quite interesting results, especially if you experiment with the --w option. Dear @xinntao , is there any possibility to return CodeFormer to GFPGAN?

HenkDz commented 1 year ago

Asking the same.

CamiloMM commented 1 year ago

Also curious. It seems both projects have nothing to do with one another besides similar name (different institutions, different researchers) but they were released only 3 days apart (22 Jun 2022 vs 25 Jun 2022).

do weights only work for codeformer? I cannot get them to work with other types

xinntao commented 1 year ago

Due to the license of CodeFormer and the author's request, we remove codeformer in this repo.

We will try to add a similar function as the adjustable -w option.

Thanks :-)

Take this with a grain of salt because I was super lazy and ran this test using the images provided by RestoreFormer and an utility meant for Stable Diffusion but I just wanted some quick idea of how CodeFormer did against RestoreFormer (even if probably these are cherry picked to favor RestoreFormer) figure1
