Title: ESRganResizer 1.1.5 (a simple GUI for ERSgan + prefilter) (11/09/2019)
Post by: satsuki on 2019-04-18 21:00:33
As this soft was designed to help to start with esrgan, a better one exists here (thanks SlaughterThemAllRichtofen for telling me about it) : https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale (https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale)
For advanced use never my soft nor cupscale is realy usefull as any advanced esrgan user will do his own processing, but to test and simple use of esrgan cupscale is realy good.


Hello, as i have cleaned the tool i use for esrgan + waifu prefilter (to share it with someone who needed it), I share it here too... may be helpfull for some of you ^^

You need to extract the archive then follow the howto before using it (need to install cuda, python...)
You need a cuda9/10 capable gpu (nvidia gt9xx at least)
64bit windows.
The processing can take a lot of time (about 3/5s for a 640*480 picture on my gtx1060)
As ESRgan is realy gpu/ram dependant, you're going to be limited in source picture size (if too big the esrgan won't process depending en your gpu/ram)
I included a 'cpu' processing so you can use it without cuda but it will be realy slow (about 7min for a 640*480 on my core i7 8700k but on small picture it remain resonably fast)

While I personally cant make much use of this; it is objectively speaking a great tool! Good work.

Just wanted to say thank you for the tool. It makes using ESRGAN more practical. I was hoping you implemented some kind of image splitting for when the picture doesn't fit into the available VRAM. Is that something you plan on implementing at some point ?

Hello, I downloaded this tool, installed the pre-requisities, installed the python and processed all the scripts succesfully.
I have gtx970, windows 7 x64, 8gb ram

Yet, when I finally click on the ESRganResizer I get:

Unexpected error

Is there any way to find out what is going on? Some logs? Anything?

Thanks in advance!!

Can you post a screenshot ?
Have you tried to run it as adminstrator
I haven't tested it in windows 7 but it needs a 64bits os (are you on windows 64 bits or 32 bits ?)

My, my, am I that famous ? :D

I'm looking into ESRGAN and Gigapixel for some more texture improvements, but for now Gigapixel has proved so much easier to use than ESRGAN that I almost only use it. Hence my question about image splitting, which would convince me to give ESRGAN a more serious try. That and the pregenerated models alsa64 shared on Discord, which make my life a lot easier.

Version 1.01 on the first message:
-Corrected a bug when you uncheck the waifu prefilter without inchecking the double step.
-Added a security so you can't launch with an empty list.
-Added a 'cpu' mod so you can test waifu + esrgan without a cuda gpu.

I dont have the prog anymore because I was not able to run it.
But the screenshot would not made any benefit, it was a white tab 5x4cm with a text which stated: "Unexpected error" and that was it.

Yes, I tryed running as admin.
And yes, I have 64bit OS (Win7 x64)

Absolutely no idea on what was going on, because there were no logs to hint on the source of a problem :X

Im very sad about it, I work on Daggerfall Remaster, 2nd year, wanted to try to use this prog on some images/sprites :X

Anyway, there is this msg for you from the daggerfall forums form the user MrFlibble, who is active in this field on many forums:

Instead of copy paste, I link you there... 2nd post on that page:

Hi there,

I also tried with CUDA 10.0 before. But no luck. But i can share my ESRGan GUI settings and CMD output if it's gonna help you.

Next version on its way :
(http://wowsatsuki.free.fr/w105.png)

With this version you can use it as the current version with provided prefilters, but you'll can also set up your own prefilter commands.
It'll take me some time to do a proper setup but i'll share it asap

Looking forward to the next version. There are a few models for de-dithering and JPEG artifact removal that are x1 models. Do you know if you can code this support in? So far just been manually editing the .py file to have upscale=1, or making a copy of that file with equaling one and then swapping file. I think model 1 and model 2 at the moment use the same python file and there is not a way to mix an x1 and x4 file (for obvious reasons). Default should naturally be x4 as that is what the majority of models are setup to be, but there is a growing amount of x1 models I think. There are a few x2 models too that I know of.

Great work on that update! Things work well for my different models. I seem to be able to run the GUI version of waifu2x-caffe.exe fine, but somehow not able to properly run the commands through waifu2x-caffe-cui.exe. I gotta figure out what might be blocking that for me, but then my setup should work quite well. Thank you!

1.07 ready (mostly changed things to easy errors detection):

(http://wowsatsuki.free.fr/err2.png)

-Added error detection in prefilter or esrgan processing
-Added error log to esrgan so you can easily see the file witch bugs
-Modded esrgan script so if a file bugs, the processing continue with other files instead of stopping
-Changed the temporary file name to a source file name + numbers so you can easily bug hunting ^^
-If error detected in processing, the temp files aren't auto removed (as long as you don't launch another processing) so you can check the files.

1.08 ready:

Seems like he did not. I had a same problem.

In the "how to" its stated to install the Python with default settings.
But by default, the "set as system path" option is DISABLED.
That can be confusing for Python newbies like me, also, that setting is easily missed, its not very visible.

It might be worth it, to change the description in HowTo to explicitly state to "enable system path" option.

Just a idea, hope it helps, thanks for a great prog!!!

i'm noticing an issue with certain image dimensions causing the tiler to create more than 16 tiles and then when the combiner goes to create the final image it fails. cropping the source image down a pixel or two in either height or width usually fixes it but its an annoying thing to do.
i've also had large batches along with image splitting causing overflows.

Post by: satsuki on 2019-05-30 20:18:47
to use the split in 16 feature you need of course to have a width and height as a multiple of 16 or it won't works for exemple 800*608 will be ok but 800*600 won't
i'll do a more flexible version asap

-Corrected a bug if there's special character in folders path
-Added a way better split option for use with esrgan with overlap to avoid bad assembly in final file (and you don't need to have a specific input size to get it works, only a peer number)
-Updated the howto

If you're updatding from older version please install the \runtime\Git-2.21.0-64-bit.exe file

Satsuki, thanks a lot for this program, it works quite ok even on my problematic PC setup now.

Is there a way to setup the program so it doesnt add the "_Final" suffix to the new files?
Because I have to manually rename them afterwards to the original names...

-The runtime error i'll check it
-Your computer can't process the prefilter of your 1080p source, try to disable prefilter and you'll see it's work

ATM prefilter don't split source so if you'r low on gpu ram, big pictures won't be processed, i need to found a way to split source file before prefiltering.
May take me some time to do it

It seems like splitting works but it's a gamble on if the joining actually aligns.
also there is an issue where if you run consecutive batches it gives an error and you need to reboot the program. annoying.

If esrganresizer doesn't support changing the output codec and output file extension for video. I would like to request that.

We think that FF8 remaster requires a specific codec for video. So would like to make the output video generated by this tool the correct format to save from converting it afterwards.

I figure you have ffmpeg for that. So if we can alter the commands passed to ffmpeg. Then all done. :)

Thank you.

Not planned ATM.
I use x264 as output as it's a standard (and aali driver can play it with the ffmpeg plugin it provides).
If you want to use specific codec just don't use "output to video" option and convert the png back to the video format you want, with ffmpeg or vdub2 ... or use x264 crf 0 (losseless) then transcode it to your favorite codec after

Are there any plans to update this tool? It does not currently work with many filters (like any 1x model, which is all the noise/artifact removal ones) because the math for tile sizes/overlaps is broken for anything but the default 4x scale.

This is unfortunate because many of esrgan's 1x models are amazing, like the JPEG ones and dedither, and the only way to use them is to manually edit the bash scripts every time you want to change between models with different scales.

It's kind of amazing, really, how esrgan's JPEG models completely blow away any of the expensive commercial denoiser tools, even those that focus on jpeg specifically.

You can use any 1x model
-disable prefilter if you don't need it
-set up "esrgan model" type to the model size (from 1x to 16x)
