Update

• 2022.10.10 Release reproduce training log for SR stage in . Reach similar performance as the paper, LPIPS: 0.329 @415k for div2k (x4).
• 2022.09.26 Add example training log with 70k iterations
• 2022.09.23 Add colab demo
• 2022.07.02
  - Update codes of the new version FeMaSR
  - Please find the old QuanTexSR in the quantexsr branch

Here are some example results on test images from BSRGAN and RealESRGAN.

python inference_femasr.py -s 2 -i ./testset -o results_x2/

Train the model

Preparation

Dataset

Please prepare the training and testing data follow descriptions in the main paper and supplementary material. In brief, you need to crop 512 x 512 high resolution patches, and generate the low resolution patches with degradation_bsrgan function provided by BSRGAN. While the synthetic testing LR images are generated by the degradation_bsrgan_plus function for fair comparison.

Model preparation

Before training, you need to

• Download the pretrained HRP model: generator, discriminator
• Put the pretrained models in experiments/pretrained_models
• Specify their path in the corresponding option file.

Train SR model

python basicsr/train.py -opt options/train_FeMaSR_LQ_stage.yml

Model pretrain

In case you want to pretrain your own HRP model, we also provide the training option file:

python basicsr/train.py -opt options/train_FeMaSR_HQ_pretrain_stage.yml
