APISR is an image&video upscaler that aims at restoring and enhancing low-quality low-resolution anime images and video sources with various degradations from real-world scenarios.
🔥 Update | 👀 Visualization | 🔧 Installation | 🏰 Model Zoo | ⚡ Inference | 🧩 Dataset Curation | 💻 Train

git clone [email protected]:Kiteretsu77/APISR.git
cd APISR
# Create conda env
conda create -n APISR python=3.10
conda activate APISR
# Install Pytorch and other packages needed
pip install torch==2.1.1 torchvision==0.16.1 torchaudio==2.1.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
pip install -r requirements.txt
# To be absolutely sure that the tensorboard can execute. I recommend the following CMD from "https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/22676#issuecomment-534882021"
pip uninstall tb-nightly tensorboard tensorflow-estimator tensorflow-gpu tf-estimator-nightly
pip install tensorflow
# Install FFMPEG [Only needed for training and dataset curation stage; inference only does not need ffmpeg] (the following is for the linux system, Windows users can download ffmpeg from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)
sudo apt install ffmpegGradio option doesn't need to prepare the weight from the user side but they can only process one image each time.
Online demo can be found at https://huggingface.co/spaces/HikariDawn/APISR (HuggingFace) or https://colab.research.google.com/github/camenduru/APISR-jupyter/blob/main/APISR_jupyter.ipynb (Colab)
Local Gradio can be created by running the following:
python app.pyNote: Gradio is designed for fast inference, so we will automatically download existing weights and downsample to 720P to ease the VRAM consumption. For a full grounder inference, please check the regular inference section below.
-
Download the model weight from model zoo and put the weight to "pretrained" folder.
-
Then, Execute (single image/video or a directory mixed with images&videos are all ok!)
python test_code/inference.py --input_dir XXX --weight_path XXX --store_dir XXX
If the weight you download is paper weight, the default argument of test_code/inference.py is capable of executing sample images from "assets" folder
Our dataset curation pipeline is under dataset_curation_pipeline folder.
You can collect your dataset by sending videos (mp4 or other format) into the pipeline and get the least compressed and the most informative images from the video sources.
-
Download IC9600 weight (ck.pth) from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N3FSS91e7FkJWUKqT96y_zcsG9CRuIJw and place it at "pretrained/" folder (else, you can define a different --IC9600_pretrained_weight_path in the following collect.py execution)
-
With a folder with video sources, you can execute the following to get a basic dataset (with ffmpeg installed):
python dataset_curation_pipeline/collect.py --video_folder_dir XXX --save_dir XXX
-
Once you get an image dataset with various aspect ratios and resolutions, you can run the following scripts
Be careful to check uncropped_hr && degrade_hr_dataset_path && train_hr_dataset_path (we will use these path in opt.py setting during training stage)
In order to decrease memory utilization and increase training efficiency, we pre-process all time-consuming pseudo-GT (train_hr_dataset_path) at the dataset preparation stage.
But, in order to create a natural input for prediction-oriented compression, in every epoch, the degradation started from the uncropped GT (uncropped_hr), and LR synthetic images are concurrently stored. The cropped HR GT dataset (degrade_hr_dataset_path) and cropped pseudo-GT (train_hr_dataset_path) are fixed in the dataset preparation stage and won't be modified during training.
Be careful to check if there is any OOM. If there is, it will be impossible to get the correct dataset preparation. Usually, this is because num_workers in scripts/anime_strong_usm.py is too big!
bash scripts/prepare_datasets.sh
The whole training process can be done in one RTX3090/4090!
-
Prepare a dataset (AVC / API) that is preprocessed by STEP 2 & 3 in Dataset Curation
In total, you will have 3 folders prepared before executing the following commands:
--> uncropped_hr: uncropped GT
--> degrade_hr_dataset_path: cropped GT
--> train_hr_dataset_path: cropped Pseudo-GT
-
Train: Please check opt.py carefully to set the hyperparameters you want (modifying Frequently Changed Setting is usually enough).
Note1: When you execute the following, we will create a "tmp" folder to hold generated lr images for sanity check. You can modify the code to delete it if you want.
Note2: If you have a strong CPU, and if you want to accelerate, you can increase parallel_num in the opt.py.
Step1 (Net L1 loss training): Run
python train_code/train.py
The trained model weights will be inside the folder 'saved_models' (same as checkpoints)
Step2 (GAN Adversarial Training):
-
Change opt['architecture'] in opt.py to "GRLGAN" and change batch size if you need. BTW, I don't think that, for personal training, it is needed to train 300K iter for GAN. I did that in order to follow the same setting as in AnimeSR and VQDSR, but 100K ~ 130K should have a decent visual result.
-
Following previous works, GAN should start from L1 loss pre-trained network, so please carry a pretrained_path (the default path below should be fine)
python train_code/train.py --pretrained_path saved_models/grl_best_generator.pth
