IConFace: Identity-Structure Asymmetric Conditioning for Unified Reference-Aware Face Restoration
arXiv CS.CV
•
ArXi:2605.02814v1 Announce Type: new Blind face restoration is highly ill-posed under severe degradation, where identity-critical details may be missing from the degraded input. Same-identity references reduce this ambiguity, but mismatched pose, expression, illumination, age, makeup, or local facial states can lead to overuse of reference appearance. We propose \textbf{IConFace}, a unified reference-aware and no-reference framework with identity--structure asymmetric conditioning.
