Fixing minor VHS Chroma and Pattern Noise - NOTE: only works on deinterlaced sources

BaldrickVHSFix V0.2

This model was trained on lossless video frames of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, compressed with Bink V1 for the LR frames. It's a lot more efficient than my first DeBink model, and also has less artifacts. It's not quite as robust, but the compression is barely noticeable in videos after processing with this.

DeBink Lite

This model removes early 2000s Bink and other compression artifacts. Works well on almost any image or video compression type.

DeBink v4

DeBink v5

DeBink v6

Incomplete lite model to remove ROQ compression

DeRoqBeta-lite

Purpose: artifact

This model attempts to make films upscaled to 4K with Topaz Gaia-HQ look more natural and filmic. It sharpens, adds film grain, and smooths out small artefacts from the upscaling process. I recommend adding a tiny amount of grain to the input to seed the model (you can do this in VEAI), otherwise the film grain will remain static across frames that don't move much.

Filmify4K v2

Purpose: Texturizing

Tries to reverse heavy h264 compression. Fails. Can be used to texturize images though.

NMKD h264Texturize

This model decompresses images and video compressed using RoQ. Config and presets will be added when Mega decides to let me use their site!

RoQ_nRoll

A 1x model designed for skin contrast (although some backgrounds suffer a little modification), also try the other SkinContrast models

1xSkinContrast-High-SuperUltraCompact

A 1x model designed for skin contrast (although some backgrounds suffer a little modification), some images may suffer from the creation of artifacts, High Alternative is the model that generates the most artifacts, also try the other SkinContrast models

Category: VHS Tapes
Purpose: VHS

Best when used on cartoons, it can work on anime. Due to the dataset it does struggle a bit with orange colors and grainy dark spots. This model is meant to be used to clean up the image before using it on a 2x or 4x model. Example with 2x-BIGOLDIES https://imgsli.com/OTQ0NjM/1/0.

Category: VHS Tapes
Purpose: VHS

Make old VHS footage crispy. This model will **not** work on video and images with noticeable JPEG/Video compression artifacts, noticeable interlacing or haloing, heavy tape distortion/artifacts and scenes with tons of detail. For best results, use a downscaled HD capture of the VHS tape you intend to use it on.

VHS-Sharpen

Removal of Compression such as Cinepak, msvideo1 and Roq

cinepak

A 2x Compact anime upscale model that handles AVC (h264) degradation. Applied h264 crf 20-28 degradation together with bicubic, bilinear, box and lanczos downsampling on musl's HFA2k dataset with Kim's dataset destroyer.

2xHFA2kAVCCompact

A 2x EDSR M anime upscale model that handles AVC (h264) degradation. Applied h264 crf 20-28 degradation and bicubic, bilinear, box and lanczos downsampling on musl's HFA2k dataset with Kim's dataset destroyer.

2xHFA2kAVCEDSR_M

The second released community trained model on the OmniSR network. Trained with multiscale discriminator to fix decreased output brightness occuring with OmniSR. 2x anime upscale that handles AVC (h264) compression since h264 crf 20-28 degradation together with bicubic, bilinear, box and lanczos downsampling has been applied on musl's HFA2k dataset with Kim's dataset destroyer.

2xHFA2kAVCOmniSR

2x SRFormer_light anime upscale model that handles AVC (h264) compression since h264 crf 20-28 degradation together with bicubic, bilinear, box and lanczos downsampling has been applied on musl's HFA2k dataset with Kim's dataset destroyer for training.


If you want to run this model with chaiNNer (or another application) you need to use the onnx files with an onnx upscale node. All onnx conversions can be found in the [onnx folder on my repo](https://github.com/Phhofm/models/tree/main/2xHFA2kAVCSRFormer_light/onnx).

Category: VHS Tapes
Purpose: VHS

VHS captures of Film material, but may work on VHS recorded native SD-TV material as well. Also useable for cleaned up source material

VHS upscale and denoise Film

Purpose: VHS Restoration

An advanced VHS recording model designed to enhance video quality by reducing artifacts such as haloing, ghosting, and noise patterns. Optimized primarily for PAL resolution (NTSC might work good as well).

VHS2HD

DeIndeo
