Python Image Upscaler

PythonImageUpscaler is a project that uses opencv super resolution functionality along with some deep learning algorithms to enhance image quality when upscaling.

The deep learning algorithms used are available at the following repositories:

• EDSR in Tensorflow
• ESPCN in Tensorflow
• FSRCNN in Tensorflow
• LapSRN in Tensorflow

Dependencies

This project is based on python 3.8.5, and uses opencv for image processing and if requested for interactive visualization of results.

To install all dependencies, just run pip install -r requirements.txt

Executing

The python script accepts 4 arguments:

• filepath: The filepath to the image desired to upscale.
• algorithm: The algorithm to use for image upscaling (f.e. EDSR_x2).
• outputfilepath: The filepath where the image will be saved.
• showresults: Whether to show a window with the result to interactively zoom to inspect them, optional.

The parameter Algorithm only accepts a collection of values, too see the available ones, use the --help command."# PythonImageUpscaler"
