Not working on middle eastern - Muslim faces

[mmdrahmani]

Hi I used gfp-gan on many different old photos and it works just fine. Except when women have scarf, and the photo is a bit low quality (e.g. eyes are in shadow), for these typically brown eyed people, the eye are blue-ish, or the relatively skin tone becomes mustaches on women faces. Really weird! So I am wondering how I can work this out. I can send you a few photos if needed.

BTW, I was using colab-demo files and their default settings.

Hi Mohammad，

Sorry that this algorithm could not well process all cases. It cannot deal with faces covered with other objects, such as scarves; it also does not perform well on photos with low quality and poor light conditions. And it may also have a bias (such as the eye color) due to the bias of training dataset of FFHQ.

Hope those issues could be solved with improved algorithms in the near future.

Thanks a lot. Looking forward for newer versions of this interesting GAN. Bests
