The official PyTorch implementation of SRFormer: Permuted Self-Attention for Single Image Super-Resolution (arxiv). SRFormer achieves state-of-the-art performance in

    classical image SR
    lightweight image SR
    real-world image SR

The results can be found here.

    Abstract: In this paper, we introduce SRFormer, a simple yet effective Transformer-based model for single image super-resolution. We rethink the design of the popular shifted window self-attention, expose and analyze several characteristic issues of it, and present permuted self-attention (PSA). PSA strikes an appropriate balance between the channel and spatial information for self-attention, allowing each Transformer block to build pairwise correlations within large windows with even less computational burden. Our permuted self-attention is simple and can be easily applied to existing super-resolution networks based on Transformers. Without any bells and whistles, we show that our SRFormer achieves a 33.86dB PSNR score on the Urban100 dataset, which is 0.46dB higher than that of SwinIR but uses fewer parameters and computations. We hope our simple and effective approach can serve as a useful tool for future research in super-resolution model design. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/HVision-NKU/SRFormer.

This is just a very basic 2x model to start your anime models with on SPAN, nothing special. I tried to keep it as basic as possible

2x-span_anime_pretrain

Purpose: pre-workout to speed up your workouts

While experimenting with color models for cugan, I just ran into problems that the official models are not imported correctly and have additional processing in addition to resizing. As a result, for my project I trained 2 x cugans for neosr; only resizing losses were applied to the dataset `(“lanczos”, “bicubic”, “bilenear”, “HAMMING”, “NEAREST”)`
