problem Part 1: What Is AI Face Recovery

AI Face recovery is the technique used to remove the blurriness from a video clip so that the person’s face is clearly visible. It is a process that detects the person’s face and then blurs the rest of the image so that only the face remains clear. Face recovery is a great way to boost the quality of your videos and make them more engaging for your audience. A video can be extremely engaging if it has high-quality clips with no blurry faces. However, many people don’t have the know-how to completely remove the blurriness from their videos. Face recovery is a technique that uses AI to detect the faces in the video and then automatically restores them. This way, you don’t have to spend hours and hours trying to get rid of the blurriness by yourself. You can simply use face recovery to get better-quality clips in a matter of seconds.

problem Part 2: What Causes Blurry Faces in Videos

Blurry faces in videos are caused by low light, high motion or poor camera quality, etc. The main reasons for blurry faces are poor lighting and a lack of a tripod. When you shoot in low light, you need to keep the camera’s shutter open for longer. This means that you have less light to work with, which makes it harder to get a crisp and clear shot. When you’re shooting in low-light conditions, you should set your camera to shutter speed of around 1/100th of a second. The problem is some video cameras don’t come with built-in shutters, which means you can not control the amount of light hitting the sensor directly. Another common reason for blurry faces is high motion. If you are filming someone who is moving around a lot, you may end up with lots of blurry shots where the person’s face is indiscernible. This is because your camera’s shutter speed isn’t quick enough to freeze motion properly. When you are in a situation where the person you are filming is moving a lot, you should increase the shutter speed. This can be done directly on your camera.
