Face Depixelizer is an interesting application, with AI technology, that can accept a photo person with extremely low resolution and turn it into a realistic portrait photo.
Created by Russian developer Dennis Malimonov (Denis Malimonov) and according to its manufacturer, uses its power StyleGAN, which is famous for creating realistic portraits of people who do not exist.
After getting a face with low pixel resolution, the Face Depixelizer constantly creates faces with StyleGAN and reduces the resulting "photo", finding one that best fits the face of the original image.
Entrants do not even have to be real people. You can use the tool to see what the characters in the video game look like in real life. See the results Malimonov got when he put him starring Wolfenstein BJ Blazkowicz:
Some people point out that this type of tool could be used to detect people who have deliberately over-pixelated their image, for protection of privacy or security, but Malimonov's response is that the tool doesn't show what the person actually looks like, but simply finds a random face that matches.
Here, of course, the question arises as to where he finds all these photos base data to compare them with the input image and if they are indeed non-existent faces. Does this base also have your own face? When you share your photo publicly on social media, is someone(s) collecting all that data?
We will probably never know but for now you can use Face Depixelizer to play. You do not need to install, you can use Google Colab. The input photo should be square and you can start by pressing the button indicated by the red arrow and then scroll down to where the search button appears.
