Meet KEEP. A tool for improving the quality of video face super-resolution

KEEP (Kalman-inspired FEature Propagation) is an innovative framework designed for video face super-resolution which can currently be found at https://jnjaby.github.io/projects/KEEP/ .

This software helps with two main things:

1. Making face details clearer
2. Keeping faces looking the same from one video frame to the next

KEEP is primarily intended for people who study and work with computer vision, especially those who focus on making face videos look better.

KEEP uses a new approach that puts together:

• A way to keep face info stable, inspired by something called Kalman filtering
• A system that uses info from frames it's already fixed
• Special layers called Cross-Frame Attention (CFA) that help keep things looking the same from one frame to the next

Applications and Use Cases

This software could be used in many places where making face videos look better is important, like:

• Video conferencing and telepresence systems
• Forensic video analysis (police work)
• Making movies and TV shows
• Surveillance and security applications (Big Brother is watching, and now he also has a very good vision)

Technical Implementation

KEEP consists of four main components:

1. Encoder
2. Decoder (forming a VQGAN generative model)
3. Kalman filter network
4. Cross-Frame Attention (CFA) layers

These components work together to create a system that can effectively propagate features across video frames, resulting in high-quality, temporally consistent facial video super-resolution.
