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

Category: VHS Tapes
Purpose: VHS

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

BaldrickVHSFix V0.2

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

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.

BroadcastToStudio Lite

Create realistic noise and compression artifacts on images. This is meant to synthesize paired dataset for SISR training.

DM600_LUDVAE

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

Wipes out dot crawl and rainbows in animation.

Dotzilla Compact

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

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

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.

NES Composite to RGB

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.

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.

Revision History:

* 1.5.0 (09/17/2025): Added "Small" version of model

NES-Composite-2-RGB-Small

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

Restoring frames from the show "Sheeep"

This model was trained to restore "Sheeep" while retaining and enhancing the noise present in the show. The model amazingly finished training in only 8.8k iterations with no pretrain, with a dataset of only 4 image pairs. This model should work well for animes and cartoons with a lot of grain present. There are some slight haloing issues in dark colors unfortunately, but I was unable to fix it.

SheeepIt!

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

Fix vertical blur / split lines / shadowing. A 1x lite model of my 2xSwatKats. Resolves the same video problems as before, but 1x and faster and meant for chaining to other 2x models (or whatever). Input MUST be 540 vertical as the blur problem is very resolution sensitive.

SwatKats Lite

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.

VHS-Sharpen

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.

Revision History:
* v1.1.0: Added data to improve handing of certain situations, particularly in season 3.
* v1.0.0: Initial release.
