Description

ESRGAN is an abbreviation for Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network.

  • Enhanced – It's an improvement over earlier SRGAN (Super-Resolution GAN) models.

  • Super-Resolution – Refers to the task of increasing image resolution (e.g., 256×256 → 1024×1024) while preserving or enhancing detail.

  • Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) – A type of machine learning model where two networks (a generator and a discriminator) compete to produce high-quality, realistic outputs.

ESRGAN uses deep learning to sharpen, upscale, and restore images, often adding plausible detail during the process.

ESRGANx2

ESRGANx4

ESRGANx4plus

ESRGANx8

ESRGANx4plus produces better quality output versus ESRGANx4 at the expense of speed and more VRAM requirement. ESRGANx4plus requires ~4–6 GB verses ~2–4 GB for ESRGANx4.
