Evaluation of Blind Face Restoration models on the CelebA dataset, reporting metrics such as PSNR, MSE, and L1 Loss.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Blind Face Restoration |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CelebA |
| Metric | PSNR |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [PSNR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=PSNR>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [MSE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=MSE>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [L1 Loss](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=L1%20Loss>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [SSIM](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=SSIM>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [LPIPS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=LPIPS>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [MANIQA](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=MANIQA>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MUSIQ](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=MUSIQ>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [NIQE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=NIQE>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [TOPIQ-FACE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-celeba.md?metric=TOPIQ-FACE>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
