ESRGAN
ECCV18 Workshops - Enhanced SRGAN. Champion PIRM Challenge on Perceptual Super-Resolution. The training codes are in BasicSR.
I went to have a look at the code backing this because I've been following the development of SRGAN architecture closely. Link to the repo: A-ESRGAN. I was more than disappointed, it actually made me angry.
It all looks well and good, neatly arranged, until you dive a bit into the code and layout, and you come to realize that this entire repo is a (in most cases literally) copy/paste of Xinntao's Real-ESRGAN work with miniscule rearrangements and induced mistakes. About what I'd expect from students trying to get away with being lazy on an assignment.
There are two Generator architectures that are in the code, however these are actually just sitting there unused, likely from work that did not pan out because if you look at their inference code it's not used at all. Instead they directly import the plain old vanilla RRDB architecture from BasicSR yet again another Xinntao repository. Seeing the theme here.
