Attempts to remove the damages done by color banding. For this model, I downscaled all of the HR images to make their pixel size closer to 1000x1000 using the Box filter and then downscaled them again by 50% using the Point filter. Afterwards, I applied 64-bit color banding to every image in the dataset.

N64 textures use a color depth of 5-bits per channel, this model attempts to clean them, restoring smooth gradients in textures

N64clean

Takes composite/RF/VHS NES footage and attempts to restore it to RGB quality. Assumes footage has been properly deinterlaced via field duplication from 240p to 480p/720p/etc. Note that:

* All footage was captured in 240p/480p/720p NTSC.
* RGB footage was captured via an AV Famicom with the RGB Blaster via the Retrotink 2x or GBS Control.
* The model was trained exclusively on individual frames, so it can't fix things like dropouts.
* The even and odd fields of NES composite tend to be a bit...different from each other, so there will be some jitter at 60fps.
* I don't have access to an NES Toploader, so I wouldn't expect it to fix the jailbars very well.

Revision History:

* 1.5.0 (06/29/2025): Applied additional augmentations to reduce overfitting. Also added a small amount of 720p training data.
* 1.0.0 (11/03/2024): Initial release.

Compared to the OmniSR variant of this model, this version runs more quickly (despite the larger model file size), and should do a good job on footage captured directly from the console using composite. If your footage is from a VHS tape or was captured over RF, the slower OmniSR model is probably a better choice.
