This is the official repository and PyTorch implementation of Swin2SR. We provide the supplementary material, code, pretrained models and demos. Swin2SR represents a possible improvement of the famous SwinIR by Jingyun Liang (kudos for such an amazing contribution βœ‹). Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance in:

swin2sr

Compression plays an important role on the efficient transmission and storage of images and videos through band-limited systems such as streaming services, virtual reality or videogames. However, compression unavoidably leads to artifacts and the loss of the original information, which may severely degrade the visual quality. For these reasons, quality enhancement of compressed images has become a popular research topic. While most state-of-the-art image restoration methods are based on convolutional neural networks, other transformers-based methods such as SwinIR, show impressive performance on these tasks. In this paper, we explore the novel Swin Transformer V2, to improve SwinIR for image super-resolution, and in particular, the compressed input scenario. Using this method we can tackle the major issues in training transformer vision models, such as training instability, resolution gaps between pre-training and fine-tuning, and hunger on data. We conduct experiments on three representative tasks: JPEG compression artifacts removal, image super-resolution (classical and lightweight), and compressed image super-resolution. Experimental results demonstrate that our method, Swin2SR, can improve the training convergence and performance of SwinIR, and is a top-5 solution at the "AIM 2022 Challenge on Super-Resolution of Compressed Image and Video".

Training

The training code is at KAIR. We follow the same training setup as SwinIR by Jingyun Liang. We are working on KAIR integration πŸ‘€ More details about the training setup in our paper.

Why moving to Swin Transformer V2 ?? paper swinv2 Especially in the case of lightweight super-resolution, we noticed how our model convergence was approximately x2 faster using the same experimental setup as SwinIR. We provide the details in the paper Section 3 and 4.2

Please check our demos ready to run πŸš€


Results

We achieved state-of-the-art performance on classical, lightweight and real-world image Super-Resolution (SR), JPEG compression artifact reduction, and compressed input super-resolution. We use mainly the DIV2K Dataset and Flickr2K datasets for training, and for testing: RealSRSet, 5images/Classic5/Set5, Set14, BSD100, Urban100 and Manga109

🌎 All visual results of Swin2SR can be downloaded here. We also provide links to download the original datasets. More details in our paper.

Basic inference setup

  1. create a folder inputs and put there the input images. The model expects low-quality and low-resolution JPEG compressed images.

  2. select --scale standard is 4, this means we will increase the resolution of the image x4 times. For example for a 1MP image (1000x1000) we will upscale it to near 4K (4000x4000).

  3. run our model using main_test_swin2sr.py and --save_img_only. The pre-trained models are included in our repo, you can download them from here or check the repo releases. It is important to select the proper --task, by default we do compressed input super-resolution compressed_s.

  4. we process the images in inputs/ and the outputs are stored in results/swin2sr_{TASK}_x{SCALE} where TASK and SCALE are the selected options. You can just navigate through results/

python main_test_swin2sr.py --task compressed_sr --scale 4 --training_patch_size 48 --model_path model_zoo/swin2sr/Swin2SR_CompressedSR_X4_48.pth  --folder_lq ./inputs --save_img_only
