Purpose: 2x upscaler for evangelion episodes

For the evangelion upscale project still, this time a dat2 model. A 2x upscaler for evangelion episodes on the evangelion dataset provided by pwnsweet, which called for model trainers to train models on it.

Evangelion dat2

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).

2xHFA2kAVCSRFormer_light

A compact anime 2x upscaling model based on musl's HFA2k dataset.

Compact 2x anime upscaler with otf compression and blur. The '2xHFA2kCompact.pth' (4.6 MB) is the original trained model file, the other model files are conversions using chaiNNer. Trained on musl's latest dataset release for Anime SISR, which has been extracted from modern anime films, where the selection criteria was high SNR, no DOF and high frequency information.

Future work: Started training a 4xRRDBNet version of this, bigger model so maybe better results but slower, for still/ single anime images. Will release in the future or drop, based on achieved results.

HFA2kCompact

Purpose: 2x anime upscaler

2x span version of the hfa2k model.

HFA2kSPAN

Purpose: 2x anime upscaler

2x shallow esrgan version of the HFA2kCompact model.  
This model should be usable with [FAST_Anime_VSR ](https://github.com/Kiteretsu77/FAST_Anime_VSR) using TensorRT for fast inference, as should my [2xHFA2kReal-CUGAN](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wqlK-rQjPGKJ5pNoVgnK9gcNF1tA8EjV/view?usp=drive_link) model.
