2 New Models for RealESRGAN-NCNN-Vulkan engine will be released in the next month's updates.

1️⃣ First one is the new realesr-general(-wdn)-x4v3 model from the original Real-ESRGAN project. Originally not available for ncnn-vulkan, but I fixed that by myself. It's an universal model for both anime and photo super-resolution. With better background processing when processing photos.

2️⃣ The second one is created by myself, it doesn't have a name yet because I am really bad at naming stuff. For now I am just gonna call it the "Conservative" model.

It's designed for upscaling Low Resolution 3D Real-life media (like photos), and will try to reduce artifacts caused by "over processing", like the "oil painting effect" and "broken background blur".

It's denoise effect is not very strong, but it will make sure the upscaled photo still looks like a photo instead of an "oil painting".

*This model is not finalized and is still subject to changes, release date may change

I love new models! On that subject, I've found that trying to upscale Retro CGI from 1985 to about 2000 can suffer from artifacts on most models. So far, Real-ESRGAN is the best for upscaling "Beyond the Minds Eye" a 1992 CGI Film. Despite the artifacts, it still looks better than the DVD source. I still think there is a lot of room for improvement, however. The background ends up temporally inconsistent, and abstract scenes can often break down into a mess. It might be a worthwhile film to add to your tests - you can find DVD rips pretty much anywhere. The internet archive's (archive.org) version is easiest to get here in the U.S. It'll present novel challenges to your model(s) and that's where the fun lies!

Thank you for your suggestions, the new x4v3 and conservative models should be able to reduce artifacts, but I haven't test them on CGI DVDs yet, I will check it out

when will we start getting vs-RIFE, and Tensor Core Acceleration/TensorRT?

Aaron Feng

They will be supported in the future updates, thank you for your suggestion

I wonder if there any AI based Dynamic HDR upscalers
