Because they moved their page without setting up a redirect for some reason. I guess CC-BY-NC doesn't require a *working* link, but it surprised me that they made it available with a CC license.

|
|
- For CUDA10.x, see [#253](https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x/issues/253#issuecomment-445448928)
|
|
|
|
#### Getting waifu2x
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and install lua modules.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd waifu2x
|
|
./install_lua_modules.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Validation
|
|
|
|
Testing the waifu2x command line tool.
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Web Application
|
|
```
|
|
th web.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
View at: http://localhost:8812/
|
|
|
|
## Command line tools
|
|
Notes: If you have cuDNN library, than you can use cuDNN with `-force_cudnn 1` option. cuDNN is too much faster than default kernel. If you got GPU out of memory error, you can avoid it with `-crop_size` option (e.g. `-crop_size 128`).
|
|
|
|
### Noise Reduction
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise -noise_level 1 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise -noise_level 0 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise -noise_level 2 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise -noise_level 3 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2x Upscaling
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m scale -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Noise Reduction + 2x Upscaling
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise_scale -noise_level 1 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise_scale -noise_level 0 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise_scale -noise_level 2 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise_scale -noise_level 3 -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Batch conversion
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
find /path/to/imagedir -name "*.png" -o -name "*.jpg" > image_list.txt
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m scale -l ./image_list.txt -o /path/to/outputdir/prefix_%d.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output format supports `%s` and `%d`(e.g. %06d). `%s` will be replaced the basename of the source filename. `%d` will be replaced a sequence number.
|
|
For example, when input filename is `piyo.png`, `%s_%03d.png` will be replaced `piyo_001.png`.
|
|
|
|
See also `th waifu2x.lua -h`.
|
|
|
|
### Using photo model
|
|
|
|
Please add `-model_dir models/photo` to command line option, if you want to use photo model.
|
|
For example,
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -model_dir models/photo -m scale -i input_image.png -o output_image.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Video Encoding
|
|
|
|
\* `avconv` is alias of `ffmpeg` on Ubuntu 14.04.
|
|
|
|
Extracting images and audio from a video. (range: 00:09:00 ~ 00:12:00)
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir frames
|
|
avconv -i data/raw.avi -ss 00:09:00 -t 00:03:00 -r 24 -f image2 frames/%06d.png
|
|
avconv -i data/raw.avi -ss 00:09:00 -t 00:03:00 audio.mp3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Generating a image list.
|
|
```
|
|
find ./frames -name "*.png" |sort > data/frame.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
waifu2x (for example, noise reduction)
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir new_frames
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -m noise -noise_level 1 -resume 1 -l data/frame.txt -o new_frames/%d.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Generating a video from waifu2xed images and audio.
|
|
```
|
|
avconv -f image2 -framerate 24 -i new_frames/%d.png -i audio.mp3 -r 24 -vcodec libx264 -crf 16 video.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Train Your Own Model
|
|
Note1: If you have cuDNN library, you can use cudnn kernel with `-backend cudnn` option. And, you can convert trained cudnn model to cunn model with `tools/rebuild.lua`.
|
|
|
|
Note2: The command that was used to train for waifu2x's pretrained models is available at `appendix/train_upconv_7_art.sh`, `appendix/train_upconv_7_photo.sh`. Maybe it is helpful.
|
|
|
|
### Data Preparation
|
|
|
|
Genrating a file list.
|
|
```
|
|
find /path/to/image/dir -name "*.png" > data/image_list.txt
|
|
```
|
|
You should use noise free images. In my case, waifu2x is trained with 6000 high-resolution-noise-free-PNG images.
|
|
|
|
Converting training data.
|
|
```
|
|
th convert_data.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Train a Noise Reduction(level1) model
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir models/my_model
|
|
th train.lua -model_dir models/my_model -method noise -noise_level 1 -test images/miku_noisy.png
|
|
# usage
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -model_dir models/my_model -m noise -noise_level 1 -i images/miku_noisy.png -o output.png
|
|
```
|
|
You can check the performance of model with `models/my_model/noise1_best.png`.
|
|
|
|
### Train a Noise Reduction(level2) model
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
th train.lua -model_dir models/my_model -method noise -noise_level 2 -test images/miku_noisy.png
|
|
# usage
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -model_dir models/my_model -m noise -noise_level 2 -i images/miku_noisy.png -o output.png
|
|
```
|
|
You can check the performance of model with `models/my_model/noise2_best.png`.
|
|
|
|
### Train a 2x UpScaling model
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
th train.lua -model upconv_7 -model_dir models/my_model -method scale -scale 2 -test images/miku_small.png
|
|
# usage
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -model_dir models/my_model -m scale -scale 2 -i images/miku_small.png -o output.png
|
|
```
|
|
You can check the performance of model with `models/my_model/scale2.0x_best.png`.
|
|
|
|
### Train a 2x and noise reduction fusion model
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
th train.lua -model upconv_7 -model_dir models/my_model -method noise_scale -scale 2 -noise_level 1 -test images/miku_small.png
|
|
# usage
|
|
th waifu2x.lua -model_dir models/my_model -m noise_scale -scale 2 -noise_level 1 -i images/miku_small.png -o output.png
|
|
```
|
|
You can check the performance of model with `models/my_model/noise1_scale2.0x_best.png`.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
( Docker image is available at https://hub.docker.com/r/nagadomi/waifu2x )
|
|
|
|
Requires [nvidia-docker](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker build -t waifu2x .
|
|
docker run --gpus all -p 8812:8812 waifu2x th web.lua
|
|
docker run --gpus all -v `pwd`/images:/images waifu2x th waifu2x.lua -force_cudnn 1 -m scale -scale 2 -i /images/miku_small.png -o /images/output.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that running waifu2x in without [JIT caching](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/cuda-pro-tip-understand-fat-binaries-jit-caching/) is very slow, which is what would happen if you use docker.
|
|
For a workaround, you can mount a host volume to the `CUDA_CACHE_PATH`, for instance,
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run --gpus all -v $PWD/ComputeCache:/root/.nv/ComputeCache waifu2x th waifu2x.lua --help
|
|
```
