Interesting... This project is built upon "GFPGAN v1.4" (https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN) and "FaceSwap Extension - Automatic 1111 - Proof of Concept" (https://github.com/revolverocelot1/-webui-faceswap-unlocked). The GFPGAN project is grounded on its own in the paper "GFP-GAN: Towards Real-World Blind Face Restoration with Generative Facial Prior" by Wang et al. (https://xinntao.github.io/projects/gfpgan)
In Deep Live Cam: Real-time face swapping and one-click video deepfake tool
