CAR-pytorch

Pytorch implementation of paper "Learned Image Downscaling for Upscaling using Content Adaptive Resampler"

Installation

# get CAR-pytorch source
git clone https://github.com/sunwj/CAR.git
cd CAR

# compile the code of the resampler
cd adaptive_gridsampler
python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace

Python requirements

Currently, the code only supports python3 and machine with NVIDIA GPU (and the CUDA development toolkit) installed

• numpy
• scipy
• pytorch (== 1.3.1)
• Pillow
• tqdm

Pre-trained models

You can download the pre-trained models for 2x and 4x downscaling and super-resolution from here.

Inference

python3 run.py --scale 4 --img_dir path_to_images --model_dir path_to_pretrained_models \
--output_dir path_to_output

Sample results

You can download HR images of benchmark datasets, i.e., the Set5, Set14, B100 and Urban100 from here.
