recommended parameters and image size for cleanface_HD

[tonytan48]

Hi, I am wondering what is the recommended setting for this pretrained model. I have image of shape (1242, 2208, 3) and default setting, it returns can't find mosaic. I tuned --tr_blur and --tr_down parameter to 100 and still cannot find mosaic. For this image size, is it recommended to shrink the image first?

According to my guess, it may happend when the image is too large and mosaic is too small. When input images, the program may first reize the image to (224,224) to find where is the mosaic. In some times, it may loss mosaic. I will use new model to solve it.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Since the images will be resized to squared shape, is it better to crop the image to square

Best way I've found to repair even severe mosaic is to use VirtualDub2 to "WarpResize" to 4times the origional resolution, "add mosaic", "Bilinear resize" to origional resolution, and finally clean mosaic! It yields an even blur rather than having very noticeable artifacts😸 and works for pretty much any mosaic
