Description: 4x photo upscaler for faces, trained on the FaceUp dataset. These models are an improvement over the previously released 4xFFHQDAT and are its successors. These models are released together with the FaceUp dataset, plus the accompanying [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiVIzQkptI)

This model comes in 4 different versions:  
4xFaceUpDAT (for good quality input)  
4xFaceUpLDAT (for lower quality input, can additionally denoise)  
4xFaceUpSharpDAT (for good quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, good quality input)  
4xFaceUpSharpLDAT (for lower quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, can additionally denoise)  

I recommend trying out 4xFaceUpDAT

4xFaceUpDAT

4xFaceUpSharpDAT

A normal ESRGAN model without degradations and without any pretrain, simply an RRDBNet model trained on paired dataset (4x downsampled) on the full LSDIR dataset (84,991 images / 165 GB)

4xLSDIR

Upscale small good quality photos to 4x their size

My first ever model 😄 Well, it’s not the best, but, it’s something 😉 
I provide some 15 examples from the validation set here for you to visually see the generated output (with chaiNNer), photo dimensions are in the name

LSDIR Compact

Upscale good quality input photos to x4 their size

The original 4xLSDIRCompact a bit more trained, cannot handle degradation
