1ch-Alpha Lite

AbeScale

Interpolation between 4x-UltraSharp and 4x-TextSharp-v0.5. Works amazingly on anime. It also upscales text, but it's far better with anime content. I rebranded this model on 2/10/22 to 4x-AnimeSharp from 4x-TextSharpV1.

AnimeSharp

Comic / Drawings. Trained on Custom (Spider-Man) dataset

Comic Book

Purpose: Digital Animation

Replica of DigitalFrames 2.1 but interpolatable

DigitalFake 2.1

Purpose: upscale anime from dvd

Anime upscale from dvd with x4, a little softer lines and look but keeps the colors.

Purpose: 4x anime upscaler handling video compression artifacts, trained for 200 epochs

4x anime upscaler handling video compression artifacts since trained with otf degradations for "mpeg2video", "libxvid", "libx264", "libx265" with crf 20-32, mpeg bitrate 3800-5800 (together with the standard Real-ESRGAN otf pipeline). A faster arch using this otf degradation pipeline would be great for handling video compression artifacts. Since this one is a GRL model and therefore slow, [as noted by the dev](https://github.com/Kiteretsu77/VCISR-official/issues/3) maybe more for research purposes (or more for single images/screenshots). Trained using [VCISR](https://github.com/Kiteretsu77/VCISR-official) for 200 epochs.  

"This is epoch 200 and the start iteration is 85959 with learning rate 2.5e-05"

Pretrained model: 4x_DIV2K-Lite_1M (`4x_NMKD-YandereNeo-Lite_320k` for the 2x conversion)

This model was made for my project captain tsubasa anime so i don't know if it works good for anything else. just try it ;)

OLDIES_ALTERNATIVE_FINAL

SpongeBob

New version of the Spongebob model. Ideally it's a lot sharper and cleaner but I'm still not sure if it works better than the old one. From what I can tell it's better in many cases.

Spongebob v6

Purpose: Animation - Quantized

A model I trained to do both de-quantizing as well as upscaling. The results are pretty blurry but it works decently for what it is.

Spongebob v6 De-Quantize

After not being entirely happy with the main Spongebob v6 model, I trained a new one with blurring OTF options and two different downscale types. This one is much better in my opinion.

This model is based on a private model by @eula 5600x 3070 named 4x_eula_anifilm_v1_225k. He sent me a copy of the model, and I decided to train a compact model based on it with his permission. This model seems to fix the majority of the issues the original model had while being far faster, it's just a tiny bit softer in some images.

The dataset consists of Dragon Ball movies converted to YUV24 with @sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda's help to reduce artifacts, then upscaled with ArtClarity and eula_anifilm. LRs are the original frames right from DVD. As a result, this model corrects some color space issues. The 2x model's HRs were downscaled by 50% with Lanczos.

The 2x and 4x models are pretty close in output despite being trained separately. The 2x model is a bit softer overall.

The models in the Real-ESRGAN Compatible folder are the original output from Real-ESRGANs training code for compatibility reasons.

Anifilm Compact (4x)

Anime super-resolution, with real degradation.

animerd v1

This is the first community model using the OmniSR network. I trained it mostly to test this network.\nNote: the model output decreases brightness. This is a well known issue we had with OmniSR.

escale

Upscaling cel animation. Trained this more than a year ago, releasing cause I've got a much better v2 and v3 now.
