## Description

RestorePhotos is an AI face restoration tool and deep learning image upscaler designed to remove blur and reconstruct lost details in degraded facial photographs. It functions as a face photo enhancer and a generative adversarial network image processor that transforms low-quality pixels into high-resolution facial features.

The system utilizes a GPU-accelerated inference engine to run machine learning models for real-time image restoration. This hardware acceleration supports the heavy matrix multiplications and tensor-based operations required to sharpen facial images and improve visual fidelity.

The project covers AI photo restoration and digital archive restoration, specifically focusing on facial image enhancement. It employs a sequential processing pipeline to perform deep learning image upscaling, increasing the resolution and clarity of images by reconstructing missing details.
