ESRGAN
ESRGAN is a deep learning image restoration framework designed for image super-resolution. It uses a generative adversarial network system to upscale low-resolution images into high-quality versions with sharp visual details and recovered fine textures.
The framework implements a perceptual super-resolution model that optimizes the trade-off between perceived visual quality and pixel-level signal-to-noise ratio. It includes weight-interpolation blending to allow for the adjustment of visual sharpness and signal-to-noise ratios by mixing weights from different trained models.
The system covers generative image upscaling, perceptual image enhancement, and the training and deployment of neural networks via PyTorch.
