They compare it to hq4x in their supplementary materials. Theirs is better. http://johanneskopf.de/publications/pixelart/supplementary/index.html http://johann

  hq4x looks a lot better in the video comparison: http://johanneskopf.de/publications/pixelart/supplementary/video_multi_comparison_4x_h264.mp4 http://johanneskopf.de/publications/pixelart/supplementary/v... This method still wins out though.. but interesting never the less.

    I think hq4x has a slight edge because it doesn't go all the way trying to make everything smooth, still preserving some pixelation. There's actually an analog to this in denoising: if you denoise too heavily you end up losing detail. Smart denoising manages to preserve edges, giving a better result. In this case, pixels are the same as noise, undesirable, but containing useful information.
