Evaluation of Blind Face Restoration performance on the test split of the WebPhoto dataset, measured using FID.

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) | WebPhoto (test) |
| Metric | FID |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 50 of 50 |
| 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- [User Study Score (0-5)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/blind-face-restoration-on-webphoto-test.md?metric=User%20Study%20Score%20(0-5)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
