This is a PyTorch implementation of EGVSR: Efficcient & Generic Video Super-Resolution (VSR), using subpixel convolution to optimize the inference speed of TecoGAN VSR model. Please refer to the official implementation ESPCN and TecoGAN for more information.

• Unified Framework: This repo provides a unified framework for various state-of-the-art DL-based VSR methods, such as VESPCN, SOFVSR, FRVSR, TecoGAN and our EGVSR.
• Multiple Test Datasets: This repo offers three types of video datasets for testing, i.e., standard test dataset -- Vid4, Tos3 used in TecoGAN and our new dataset -- Gvt72 (selected from Vimeo site and including more scenes).
• Better Performance: This repo provides model with faster inferencing speed and better overall performance than prior methods. See more details in Benchmarks section.

• Ubuntu >= 16.04
• NVIDIA GPU + CUDA & CUDNN
• Python 3
• PyTorch >= 1.0.0
• Python packages: numpy, matplotlib, opencv-python, pyyaml, lmdb (requirements.txt & req.txt)
• (Optional) Matlab >= R2016b

Download the official training dataset based on the instructions in TecoGAN-TensorFlow, rename to VimeoTecoGAN and then place under ./data.

• Vid4 -- Four video sequences: city, calendar, foliage and walk;
• Tos3 -- Three video sequences: bridge, face and room;
• Gvt72 -- Generic VSR Test Dataset: 72 video sequences (including natural scenery, culture scenery, streetscape scene, life record, sports photography, etc, as shown below)

Comparison of various SOTA VSR model on video quality score and speed performance[3]

^[1] ⬇️:smaller value for better performance, ⬆️: on the contrary; Red: stands for Top1, Blue: Top2. ^[2] The calculation formula of video quality score considering both spatial and temporal domain, using lambda1=lambda2=lambda3=1/3. ^[3] FLOPs & speed are computed on RGB with resolution 960x540 to 3840x2160 (4K) on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2080Ti GPU.
