Waifu2x-w2xc

https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynth...-Waifu2x-w2xc/

Another implementation of waifu2x, based on the w2xc library. It can run on either GPU or CPU.

On my GTX 660, it runs about 25~45% faster when the color family of input clip is RGB than YUV/YCoCg.

tried photo=True on some RGB clips, and nnedi3 still works better on photo like clips imho.... (waifu2x looks like some stuff over warpsharped or whatever)

Where did you get the photo model??

I feel really stupid sometimes, thanks.

I'll make some tries with this models in the next weeks even if actually i was trying to train my own model for movies but was unable to find a good dataset

Update r3.

• Update w2xc library to r314.
• Add processor and list_proc parameters.

The new parameters are mainly to let users be able to specify which device to use when there are more than one GPUs in the system.

Update r4.

• Update w2xc library to r419.
• Update anime_style_art_rgb and photo models. The old ukbench folder isn't used anymore and you can delete it.
• Now the W2XConv object is initialized and destroyed only once per instance.
• Fix forget to free the node in one error.

[HolyWu]

Update r5.

• Update w2xc library to r423 which fixes memory leaks.
• Add "-w2xc" to error messages and some other places.
• Put shared memory in instance data instead of allocating them every frame.

Hi HolyWu, I was wondering if you could add the library/headers you're using to compile your project. Building the waifu2x-converter-cpp from tanakamura with CMake is not well suited for Windows.

His CMakeLists isn't well written to detect OpenCV on Windows, so you probably need to manually add a "HAVE_OPENCV" entry and set the path to OpenCV's directory in CMake before generating project files. Anyway, http://www.mediafire.com/download/53...nverter-cpp.7z contains project files of MSVC 2013 x64 for your information.

Update r6.

• Update models and add noise reduction level 3.

Did you change the syntax?

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to call the function... I have all the plugins, but "w2xc.Waifu2x(clip)" just throws the exception

Python exception: name 'w2xc' is not defined

EDIT: Also, I KNOW all the DLLs are loaded. If I try to import in manually, it throws and error saying the plugin is already loaded.

[brucethemoose]

EDIT: Stupid syntax error on my part, my mistake.

That's not the proper error message for an incorrect namespace, can you post your full script?

EDIT: But let me do a wild guess, you didn't include de "core" portion in the call, did you?

At first yes, and I figured that out. What got me stuck was a silly path typo though, thanks.

Update r7.

• Now use DeadSix27's fork of w2xc.
• Update models.
• There is no 32 bit dll for windows now. 32 bit is super dead.

[amayra]

thanks but how about using this fork i think this will give a better results

Nice, you didn't use an ancient intel compiler that needs extra runtimes. I'll update it.

Could you stop using different directory structures and separate/not separate models between releases? Updating every release in vsrepo is quite annoying.

OK. I'll unify the way of archiving the binaries.
