HonestFace: Towards Honest Face Restoration with One-Step Diffusion Model

HonestFace is a one‑step diffusion model designed for honest face restoration, preserving identity and realistic textures. It introduces an identity embedder that captures key identity features from low‑quality inputs and reference faces, and a masked face alignment method to enhance fine‑grained details. The authors also release a new real‑world dataset, MultiRefCeleb‑Test, and demonstrate that HonestFace outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in both visual quality and quantitative metrics.
