Upscale low res card images to high res using Deep Learning

[AStrangerIsHere]

Hey, Austinioaustinio7116, I noticed Zilortha, Strength Incarnate is missing in Ikoria. And by the way, thanks for all the release, I hope everything's fine for you.

thanks for all the release

Thanks for all releases Austinio, will you upscale M21 and Jumpstart (it's ok if you don't, there like 900 cards in both combined)

Is the code that does the upscaling available?

I want to build a tool to map it over the entire batch of LQ images that Forge auto-downloads.

Here is a rough start on M21:

I am sure there are some misnamed files in there and this covers both standard and promos

It only really works well on specific 370x265 resolution cards - the LQ forge ones are not downsampled from high res in the same way, so the inverse effect of the ESRGAN is quite poor. It is available though - I think I posted the link to the code further up in the topic, but if not: https://github.com/xinntao/ESRGAN

In theory the same approach could work quite well on the other LR scans (perhaps not as well as there is less information to work with), but the model would need to be retrained on images downsampled in a similar way - and that would take a lot of time and resource. I have been able to use the existing models the original authors built because fortunately they must have used a similar downsampling method and scale in their training set to the downscaling that Wizards use in their card image gallery.

For the lands, just rename those ending in 11 to 1 and 12 to 4 and they are ready for the latest forge upstream code

Is there a Chinese version?
