[Designing a Practical Degradation Model for Deep Blind Image Super-Resolution (ICCV, 2021)](https://github.com/cszn/BSRGAN)

BSRGAN

4x photo upscaler for faces with otf jpg compression, blur and resize, trained on FFHQ dataset. This has been trained on and for faces, but i guess can also be used for other photos, might be able to retain skin detail. This is not face restoration, but simply a 4x upscaler trained on faces, therefore input images need to be of good quality if good output quality is desired.

4xFFHQDAT

Since the above 4xFFHQDAT model is not able to handle the noise present in low quality input images, i made a small variant/finetune of this, the 4xFFHQLDAT model. This model might come in handy if your input image is of bad quality/not suited for the previous model. I basically made this model in a response to an input image posted in upscaling-results channel as a request to this upscale model (since 4xFFHQDAT would not be able to handle noise), see Imgsli1 example below for result.

4xFFHQLDAT

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

4xFaceUpLDAT

4xFaceUpSharpLDAT

Upscale small photos with compression to 4x their size.

Trying to extend my previous model to be able to handle compression (JPG 100-30) by manually altering the training dataset, since 4xLSDIRCompact can't handle compression. Use this instead of 4xLSDIRCompact if your photo has compression (like an image from the web).

No blur degradation had been introduced in the training dataset to keep the model from trying to sharpen blurry backgrounds.

1. Multipurpose
2. Handles bokeh effect
3. Handles jpg compression

- Denoise
- Deblur

[SwinIR: Image Restoration Using Swin Transformer](https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR)


Image restoration is a long-standing low-level vision problem that aims to restore high-quality images from low-quality images (e.g., downscaled, noisy and compressed images). While state-of-the-art image restoration methods are based on convolutional neural networks, few attempts have been made with Transformers which show impressive performance on high-level vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a strong baseline model SwinIR for image restoration based on the Swin Transformer. SwinIR consists of three parts: shallow feature extraction, deep feature extraction and high-quality image reconstruction. In particular, the deep feature extraction module is composed of several residual Swin Transformer blocks (RSTB), each of which has several Swin Transformer layers together with a residual connection. We conduct experiments on three representative tasks: image super-resolution (including classical, lightweight and real-world image super-resolution), image denoising (including grayscale and color image denoising) and JPEG compression artifact reduction. Experimental results demonstrate that SwinIR outperforms state-of-the-art methods on different tasks by up to 0.14~0.45dB, while the total number of parameters can be reduced by up to 67%.

Real-World Super-Resolution via Kernel Estimation and Noise Injection

Our solution is the winner of CVPR NTIRE 2020 Challenge on Real-World Super-Resolution in both tracks.

Recent state-of-the-art super-resolution methods have achieved impressive performance on ideal datasets regardless of blur and noise. However, these methods always fail in real-world image super-resolution, since most of them adopt simple bicubic downsampling from high-quality images to construct Low-Resolution (LR) and High-Resolution (HR) pairs for training which may lose track of frequency-related details. To address this issue, we focus on designing a novel degradation framework for real-world images by estimating various blur kernels as well as real noise distributions. Based on our novel degradation framework, we can acquire LR images sharing a common domain with real-world images. Then, we propose a real-world super-resolution model aiming at better perception. Extensive experiments on synthetic noise data and real-world images demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, resulting in lower noise and better visual quality. In addition, our method is the winner of NTIRE 2020 Challenge on both tracks of Real-World Super-Resolution, which significantly outperforms other competitors by large margins.
