This model corrects jagged lines on animation that has been deinterlaced. It handles simple line doubling, line interpolation, and even Yadif-style artifacts. It can also handle sources that were resized after deinterlacing, for example resizing from ntsc to pal resolutions. If a source has been upscaled after deinterlacing, it will need to be downsized before applying this model.

AnimeUndeint Compact

A model to help remove compression artifacts in BC1-BC3/DXT1-DXT5 compressed images (these all have color encoded the same way)

BC1 Smooth 2

BCGone Detailed

BCGone Detailed V2 40-60

Attempts to remove the damages done by BC1 compression.

BCGone Smooth

A fast upscaler that is a replacement for standard methods of cleaning noise from the picture. Ideal for BDRemux 720p and 1080p, but only if the noise is monochrome or close to it. So far, attempts are underway to create a dataset that could eliminate color noise at the same speed.

1x BW Denoise

This model helps repair color bleed and heavy chroma noise that may be present on some older footage, particularly that which was recorded on VHS. It also cleans up rainbows if they are present.

BleedOut Compact

Purpose: Cartoons

This is a simple retrain of SaurusX's 1x_BroadcastToStudioLite_485k model from a couple years ago. This one is trained on compact, actually has less artifacts, and is significantly faster.

BroadcastToStudio Compact

This is SaurusX's original description:
Improvement of low-quality cartoons from broadcast sources. Will greatly increase the visual quality of bad broadcast tape sources of '80s and '90s cartoons (e.g. Garfield and Friends, Heathcliff, DuckTales, etc). Directly addresses chroma blur, dot crawl, and rainbowing. You're highly advised to take care of haloing beforehand in your favorite video editor as the model will not fix it and may make existing halos more noticeable.

Sadly this model has some intense artifacts. Thankfully the SPAN re-train reduced these a bit, but they're still problematic. This was just a quick test of SPAN's capabilities. This was trained only to ~66k iterations, compared to the 480k of the original.

BroadcastToStudio_SPAN

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

DEDXT

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

Wipes out dot crawl and rainbows in animation.

Dotzilla Compact

Category: DeToon
Purpose: Detooning

An attempt to detoon images/drawings of people

DoubleDetoon

This model is far from perfect, but it does a decent job on removing dot crawl and dehalo\deblock old anime at fast rate without removing many details. chaining it with models like 2x-anifilm-compact or 2xLD-ANIME or 2x_AnimeClassics_UltraLite_510K will give good results i think.

Epsilon-one compact

This is a sharpening/deblurring model for anime video. It was created with three goals in mind:
Be blazing fast
Try to avoid enhancing noise and compression artifacts
Try to avoid over-enhancing intentionally blurred parts of the image

Despite that last point, this is not intended to be used on modern anime which makes heavy of use depth-of-field effects.

HurrDeblur SuperUltraCompact

Removes banding, blocking, dithering, aliasing, noise and color tint on DDS Compressed Skin Diffuse Textures.

This should work extremely well on most modern DDS compression types. The training set was compressed with BC3/DXT5, BC3/DXT5 Fast, BC2/DXT3, BC2/DXT3 Fast, and a small number of JPEG compressed images to cover outliers.

This model is trained to remove the slight green color tint that DDS compression tends to add to skin textures, so the model output will not match the original color tone of the input image. This is the desired result though, as DDS compression shifts the colors to a sickly green tint and this model corrects that to more natural color tones.

The training set included faces, body parts, eyes, mouths and hair in a variety of skin types and tones so it should work well on most related diffuse textures.

However it's not just limited to skin, many other images and textures can be cleaned with this model. Designed to be used as a first step cleaning pass before applying additional models after. Check out the other ITF Models.

ITF SkinDiffDDS v1

Upscale Anime while keeping as much of the original detail as possible. Isn't among the sharpest models and if the anime is somewhat blurry it will retain that detail but add more pixels to give a smoother edge. Doesn't change the color very much and may make some scene's very slightly darker.

Pretrained model: Pony Models

Loyaldk SharpKeroro

Model designed exclusively to remove compression artifacts while preserving noise in Manhwa, Manhua, Webtoons etc.

1x Manhwa Null

A fast upscaler that is a replacement for standard methods of cleaning noise from the picture. Ideal for BDRemux or WEB-DL 720p or 1080p it. It gets rid of floral noise well, the smaller its grain size, the more uniform the resolution for all videos will be. If you need a more stable video, then you can also add 2x-DigitalFlim-SuperUltraCompact after this upscaler. My upscaler can slightly simplify the geometry of very small objects.

1x RGB max Denoise

First ever lite BC1/DXT1 model. Probably only useful for cartoony textures like those in spongebob games or other cartoon licensed games.

Pretrained model: 1x_DIV2K-Lite_80k

SpongeBC1 Lite

Purpose: Animation - Quantized

Removed color quantization/indexing and dithering from cartoon style images and textures

Pretrained model: 1x_1xDEDITHER_32_512_126900_G

Spongebob De-Quantize

Purpose: Upscaling older cartoons

This is yet another retrain of SaurusX's SwatKats_Lite model. The dataset was reprocessed with my [Find Misaligned Images](<https://github.com/Kim2091/helpful-scripts/tree/main/Find%20Misaligned%20Images>) script, along with the new [ImgAlign](<https://github.com/sonic41592/ImgAlign>) update, which drastically reduced artifacts and increased the model's capabilities. This particular model is roughly on par with or slightly behind the original, doing better in some spots and worse in others. Refer to the attached examples to see this.

The advantage of this over the original is the speed improvement of Compact over ESRGAN-lite. In a 480p test on an RTX 4090, the original ESRGAN-lite model took 0.28 seconds to process a frame vs Compact's 0.13 seconds.

SwatKats Compact

The "Complete Series" release of "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?" by Mill Creek has a number of episodes that suffer from some rather harsh deinterlacing. This model attempts to restore the footage to something closer to a more advanced deinterlacing job. It may also be useful on episodes (primarily found in seasons 3 & 4) that were produced with advanced compositing where certain layers used similar forced deinterlacing techniques, and for cleaning up artifacts left by Yadif, QTGMC, etc.
