【AI Restoration】Terracotta Warrior's 'Real' Face? AI recovered ancient Chinese faces

I used artificial intelligence to recover some ancient faces from traditional Chinese paintings & artworks!~
I also composed the background music in this video!

Special thanks to Denis Shiryaev, I learnt this pipline from his video, you can check out his channel at

The AI Projects mentioned in the beginning of this video are Artbreeder, Stylegan-Art, Realistic-Neural-Talking-Head-Models and First-Order-Model.
I also used DAIN and Topaz Lab for interpolating and upscaling the AI results.

I love this, I’m all for the idea of restoring the faces of the people and being able to hear the words and thoughts of past ancient people

The terra-cotta warrior was so handsome.

The fact that the ai generated faces look as detailed as they do after the fact is testament to the talent of the sculptors of the terracotta warriors.

3:47 Lin Daiyu already exist in human form. I think that drawing is based on thr actress that plays her, Chen XiaoXu

This is just so amazing, the style transfer from art to "photo" translates see well!

Awesome work! The Terracotta warrior transformation is my favorite. Would also be interested to match a face to a region of China. Can you do more based on older (pre-20th century) drawings and sculptures?

Basically we can't trust most of the paintings drawn before Ming dynasty China unless the artists really did witness the characters, for example, based on history record, the emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty's top strategist Liu Bowen, had curly beards, but their portraits all ended up showing some very typical Asian style fumanchu facial hair styles, because they were typically drawn by painters from the next dynasty.

I'd love to see the real face of Emperor Khang Si of the Ching dynasty. I have the book he wrote which includes his impressive portrait.

[batia]

This is AMAZING. But you should've used the long-ass-face version of Hongwu Emperor hahahahha

[linusgoh]

I am sure there are people in present day china that look like this.
