BaldrickVHSFix V0.2

To retain details while removing artifacts caused by dxt compression on textures

DEDXT

Attempts to remove PVRTC compression artifacts. If 1x_DEPVR is unable to remove some artifacts you should use the other version but it can't remove color artifacts properly so you should overlay color of normal version to it.

DEPVR

DEPVR Artifact

Removing compression artifacts from DXT1 compressed textures. This model was created to remove DXT1 compression artifacts from textures imported into the Source Engine. Compressed textures in the engine sometimes have a green-tint which this model also corrects. The data for this model contained a good mix of diffuse textures and normal maps which means this model is pretty good at removing compression from normals as well. Creating this model was a real learning experience for me and I hope someone finds a good use for it.

DXTDecompressor Source V3

This model is made for Source Engine textures. It tries to remove compression artifacts such as blockyness, discoloration, green tint. It does pretty well on a lot of things, realistic stuff as well, but it was mostly made to work on TF2 textures. It's made to keep as much detail as possible, without any unnecessary denoising/sharpening. Huge thanks to Twittman for assisting me along this journey.

DXTless SourceEngine

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.

1xDeH264_realplksr

1xDeJPG OmniSR model

Meant to remove jpg artifacts. First compression round on the training dataset was 40-95, second round was 80-100.

Example: https://slow.pics/c/70nGEvPR

PS these are non-otf models. otf experiments have not quite done it for me (probably would need more adjusting), but they can be found in the experiments folder and their outputs in the outputs folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RRXZCRVqlqU_iaeF-RGUM9UBWtI0HseY?usp=drive_link

Pretrained Model: This one used the 60 model as pretrain, while I used [4xNomos2_realplksr_dysample](https://github.com/Phhofm/models/releases/tag/4xNomos2_realplksr_dysample) as a pretrain for the 60 model.

Batch Size: 24  
GT Size: 64  

Description:   
A 1x dejpg model, trained with otf down to jpg 40 in both degradation processes, see the yml config file for details.  
I also release the 1xDeJPG_realplksr_otf_60 model additionally, which had been trained with less jpg compression in comparison, down to 60 in both cases, where the hope was that it could give a bit higher quality on less compressed inputs.  
The 40 model is released as default since it will be able to handle more compressed inputs in general.  
Since these are trained with otf will slightly deblur. Examples here are compressed, and then recompressed, with jpg 40.

DeJpeg Fatality PlusULTRA!

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. Pretrain model used with permission to relicense from Twittman.

Filmify4K v2

Pretrained: Custom JPEG dataset

Model I forgot to release. This doesn't totally remove JPEG artifacts, but it does a decent job at a fast rate. It seemingly does a better job of retaining detail than some other JPEG models. The model is incomplete, I need to train it further on compact rather than ESRGAN. This is just a temporary release

Kim2091 DeJpeg v0

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. Note that:

* All footage was captured in 240p/480p NTSC.
* RGB footage was captured via an AV Famicom with the RGB Blaster via the Retrotink 2x.
* 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.

NES Composite to RGB

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

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.

ToonVHS

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.
