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

4x anime image upscaler with a bit of otf jpg compression and blur. Trained on musl's hfa2k 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.

HFA2k

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).

LSDIR Compact C

Upscale compressed photos to x4 their size.

Able to handle JPG compression (30-100).

LSDIR Compact C3

Upscale small photos with compression, noise and slight blur to 4x their size.

Extending my last 4xLSDIRCompact model to Real-ESRGAN, meaning trained on synthetic data instead to handle more kinds of degradations, it should be able to handle compression, noise, and slight blur.

Here is a comparison to show that 4xLSDIRCompact cannot handle compression artifacts, and that these two models will produce better output for that specific scenario. These models are not ‘better’ than the previous one, they are just meant to handle a different use case.

4xLSDIRplusC

The RealESRGAN_x4plus finetuned with the big LSDIR dataset (84,991 images / 165 GB), with jpg compression and noise and blur

4xLSDIRplusR

A 4x photo upscaler with otf jpg compression, blur and resize, trained on musl's Nomos8k_sfw dataset for realisic sr, this time based on the [DAT arch](https://github.com/zhengchen1999/DAT), as a finetune on the official 4x DAT model.

4x-NomosUni_span_multijpg

4x Multipurpose DAT upscaler

Trained on DAT with Adan, U-Net SN, huber pixel loss, huber perceptial loss, vanilla gan loss, huber ldl loss and huber focal-frequency loss, on paired nomos_uni (universal dataset containing photographs, anime, text, maps, music sheets, paintings ..) with added jpg compression 40-100 and down_up, bicubic, bilinear, box, nearest and lanczos scales. No blur degradation had been introduced in the training dataset to keep the model from trying to sharpen blurry backgrounds.

The three strengths of this model (design purpose):
1. Multipurpose
2. Handles bokeh effect
3. Handles jpg compression

This model will not:
- Denoise
- Deblur

NomosUniDAT2 multijpg ldl

NomosUniDAT2 multijpg ldl sharp

4x photo upscaler on the SSDIR_Sharp dataset, trained with otf, using the same settings as Real_HAT_GAN.  
These otf values are very high in my opinion. This was an experiment if I used the same settings as Real_HAT_GAN (therefore the name).   
This model will denoise very strongly and smooth out a lot (so a lot of details will be lost. But maybe this effect might be beneficial to someone)
