Should I remove blurry faces from extracts?

Post by hullo »

Out of couple thousand extractions from a variety of videos, there are a few dozen or so images where the target subject's face is blurry (out of focus or zoomed in or motion blurred) but faceswap obviously identified the face and added it to the alignments file. Should I delete these and "clean" the alignments file? Or does having some blurry images actually help the model?

My two cents is, I leave my blurry faces in but I limit them to very few, and I haven't had any overall problems.

My view is, if blur is in the final video, then the model should see blurry faces

My word is final

I find that leaving blurry faces in helps with initial training, but I try to remove most of them for the final "no warp" training to bring out more detail (though I'm not sure if this actually helps much)
