Image Super Resolution using ESRGAN

View on TensorFlow.org Run in Google Colab View on GitHub Download notebook See TF Hub model

This colab demonstrates use of TensorFlow Hub Module for Enhanced Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (by Xintao Wang et.al.) [Paper] [Code]

for image enhancing. (Preferrably bicubically downsampled images).

Model trained on DIV2K Dataset (on bicubically downsampled images) on image patches of size 128 x 128.
