Best Quality Upscaling? - Miranda - 06.12.2021

I've jsut used nneid13 and I am impressed with the results.

However, I recently read about "Super Resolution" and "HINet" - are either of these available for Hybrid?

Thanks Smile

I have no clue how you ended with HINet (=Half Instance Normalization Network for Image Restoration) when you were reading about super resolution, but yes Hybrid does support HINet if the torchAddon (~10GB download; ~18GB extracted) is used.
If you got an NVIDIA card and I can send you a link to the torch-Addon. Assuming you use the latest Hybrid you could then extract te addon it into your Hybrid/64bit-folder and when starting Hybrid the Log-tab should show that the torch-Addon filters are there.

What is the torchAddon? Will it run on a Mac?

I also have a PC with an NVIDIA card but i do not have Hybrid installed on it.

The torch-addon is package which includes a modified Vapoursynth version which comes with torchPy and a bunch of additional filters that are based on it. This addon is Windows only, so no luck on MacOS.

What is super-resolution?

Videohelp forum - Upscaling / VEAI / Hi-net etc


RE: Best Quality Upscaling? - Selur - 07.12.2021

Like I wrote before HINet has nothing to do with super resolution.
It's just mentioned in that thread as an example for a machine learning based filter.

Send you a link to my current dev version and torch-addon for Windows.

To install SwinIR I followed the instructions of this post: https://forum.selur.net/thread-1935-post-14069

After installing it the SwinIR resizer was available in Hybrid.

P.S.
I had problems in using pip (even after running get-pip.py). To solve them I edited the fiile python39._pth to add the paths for: DLLs, Lib, Lib\site-packages

Yup, I always update the torch-addon, but if you already got it once you can update it using the insctructions from the project sites. Smile
