FFHQ Proxy Reference

Overview

FFHQ Proxy Reference is a reference-only dataset repository designed to integrate high-quality human face images into advanced image restoration and portrait upscaling pipelines.

This repository acts as a proxy schema and access reference for the official FFHQ dataset and is optimized for:

• Facial detail preservation
• Portrait-focused super-resolution (up to 8K)
• Identity-consistent restoration workflows

Important
This repository does not host image files.
All images must be obtained directly from the official FFHQ source and loaded locally or via private storage using a custom dataset loader.

---

Intended Use

This dataset reference is designed for:

• Portrait upscaling models
• Face restoration and enhancement pipelines
• Aesthetic refinement workflows
• High-resolution facial reconstruction tasks

It is not intended to redistribute FFHQ images or bypass licensing restrictions.

Dataset Structure (Expected)

Each sample is expected to follow this structure when loaded locally:

| Field | Type | Description |
|------|------|------------|
| `image` | `Image` | High-quality face image |
| `resolution` | `int` | Image resolution indicator |
| `source` | `string` | Original dataset reference |
