Time-travel rephotography

Many historical people were only ever captured by old, faded, black and white photos, that are distorted due to the limitations of early cameras passage time. This paper simulates traveling back in time with a modern camera rephotograph famous subjects. Unlike conventional image restoration filters which apply independent operations like denoising, colorization, superresolution, we leverage StyleGAN2 framework project old photos into space high-resolution achieving all these effects unified framework. A unique challenge this approach is retaining identity pose subject original photo, while discarding many artifacts frequently seen low-quality antique photos. Our comparisons current state-of-the-art show significant improvements compelling results for variety important people.
