aitrack VS Real-ESRGAN

Additionally you can use https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack to get good head tracking and you don't need to run it with the same WINE prefix, since it uses UDP to communicate. Just run it casually from your OS (via WINE for example). But OpenTrack still need to run in the same WINE prefix ofc.

Software to setup a camera with head tracking https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack

For rudimentary head tracking, you can use a webcam with AiTrack.

If you have a decently modern phone you can get the smoothtrack app on your phone for $10. You can use that as an input for opentrack. I've been using that for a while, and it seems to be working well. Apparently you can also use a regular webcam in opentrack using aitrack, but I haven't personally used it so I can't vouch for how well it works.

I would use ai track (https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack) instead of a track ir system since it only uses a decent webcam and in my experience is pretty reliable.

OpenTrack plus AITrack is 100% free. If you don't have a webcam, toss in DroidCam for Android/iOS and use your smartphone.

run opentrack https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/releases to get the curves and mapping and aitrack https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack for head tracking. 200% better for me.

I use AITrack to use a webcam to read my face. This means that the only peripheral I need is a webcam, no other headsets or hats.

It's not exactly what you're after, as it's anime specific and you need to process the video yourself (eg disassemble to frames, run the upscaler, then assemble back to a movie file), but Real-ESRGAN is really good:

It's pretty brilliant for cleaning up very old, low resolution anime.

Just a note you can run upscaling on your home desktop with Real-ESRGAN:

Maybe Real-ESRGAN is a good fit? Even tho it's a couple of years old

I'm glad you noticed! I upscaled the icon from the wiki using Real-ESRGAN's 4xplus anime model, then photoshopped out the text. Worked far better than waifu2x.

A: Try using High-res Fix and R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B as upscaler

Maybe try this one https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN it may work even better.

Screenshotted from the official music video, upscaled to 4k using a state of the art ML model.

Do you happen to remember which chapter has that "scene"? You could also try to enhance it yourself, I did it using Real-ESRGAN, which is really easy to use.
