$InterLCM$: Low-Quality Images as Intermediate States of Latent Consistency Models for Effective Blind Face Restoration
Diffusion priors have been used for blind face restoration (BFR) by fine-tuning diffusion models (DMs) on restoration datasets to recover low-quality images. However, the naive application of DMs presents several key limitations. (i) The diffusion prior has inferior semantic consistency (e.g., ID,…
