QualityScaler: Image/video deeplearning upscaler with any GPU
- errantmind 4y agoHow does this compare to Real-ESRGAN?
- hardwaresofton 4y agoA VERY similar project was submitted to Awesome F/OSS, Upscayl: https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl Wonder what the comparison is…
- drageth 4y agowondering the same
- fulafel 4y agoUpscayl seems to have somer specific hw requirements (says it requires a GPU and won't work on most iGPUs).
- hardwaresofton 4y agoThanks for digging this out — looks like it was kinda in the tagline —- “any GPU”
- thrtythreeforty 4y agoUpscayl works fine, albeit exceptionally slowly, on my Ryzen APU (5600G). It uses the GPU, it's just that the GPU is very small. I suspect they are just not really wanting to advertise such a slow user experience, which is reasonable.
- kyriakos 4y agoAre any open source image denoisers available ?
- doubleunplussed 4y agoThere's waifu2x, it does scaling but also denoising: https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x And other implementations thereof, e.g: https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan
- faizshah 4y agoAnyone found something like this for audio?
- simondotau 4y agoYou’d need to be more specific. If you’re talking about taking CD quality audio and Up-sampling to “high res” audio, what you’re actually doing is fabricating new inaudible frequencies which do nothing except potentially degrade the audible sound if your tweeters aren’t up to the task of reproducing these useless frequencies perfectly. What I am excited for is a narrowband to wideband algorithm which can turn a Ye Olde Microphone recording or possibly even a telephone conversation into something resembling a modern recording. Obviously there’s only so much you can do with a recording made on a terrible microphone, but it should be possible to make historical recordings clearer.
- psychphysic 4y agoWhat kind of input do you need? I'm getting poor results trying with some stamps I've scanned and some photos that were lower resolution than I liked. Or does it need to be studio quality footage?
- pferdone 4y agoIt looks pretty good, but especially with the Spiderman comparison you can notice a little smudging and it basically loses the pattern on the suit.
- bmh 4y agoWindows Defender says that the binary has Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml inside it.
- bmh 4y agoApparently it's a known issue: https://github.com/Djdefrag/QualityScaler/issues/21 https://github.com/Djdefrag/QualityScaler/issues/21
- _____k 4y agoWell https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fd86f7f9fa0b8f584e0becc4744bde2b5a60fa3b9c754e55cb1410deb6a8ec8d/detection https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fd86f7f9fa0b8f584e0becc4...
- doubleunplussed 4y agoIs it better than waifu2x? Nothing I've tried is. I might try this one out to see, but if anyone who has can comment on how it compares, I'd appreciate it.
- GaggiX 4y agoMost modern architectures are better than waifu2x, this includes real-ESRGAN trained on the anime dataset, SwinIR.
- doubleunplussed 4y agoI'll give it a go, but I've tried several and waifu2x gave significantly better results, so I'm not expecting much will be happy to be wrong! My use case is 2x upscaling detailed, very small pixel-art-style images, like icons and retro game assets.
- smcleod 4y agoLooks to be limited to running on Windows only.
- enlyth 4y agoFor anyone interested in different upscaling models, there is a collection in the wiki here: https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database My personal favourite is Remacri for photographs, but you should download a few of them and try what works best for the photo/image you have. You can use either Automatic1111's repo for stable diffusion to try them out (put the model file in the ESRGAN directory), or also chaiNNer (https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer)
- josteink 4y agoThis looks fancy. Any chance of anyone implementing this as a ffmpeg filter?
