# Anime model
|
|
|
|
:white_check_mark: We add [*RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B.pth*](https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/releases/download/v0.2.2.4/RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B.pth), which is optimized for **anime** images with much smaller model size.

The following is a video comparison with sliding bar. You may need to use the full-screen mode for better visual quality, as the original image is large; otherwise, you may encounter aliasing issue.

## How to Use
|
|
|
|
### PyTorch Inference
|
|
|
|
Pre-trained models: [RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B](https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/releases/download/v0.2.2.4/RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B.pth)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# download model
|
|
wget https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/releases/download/v0.2.2.4/RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B.pth -P experiments/pretrained_models
|
|
# inference
|
|
python inference_realesrgan.py --model_path experiments/pretrained_models/RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B.pth --input inputs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ncnn Executable File
|
|
|
|
Download the latest portable [Windows](https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/releases/download/v0.2.2.4/realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan-20210901-windows.zip) / [Linux](https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/releases/download/v0.2.2.4/realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan-20210901-ubuntu.zip) / [MacOS](https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/releases/download/v0.2.2.4/realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan-20210901-macos.zip) **executable files for Intel/AMD/Nvidia GPU**.
|
|
|
|
Taking the Windows as example, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan.exe -i input.jpg -o output.png -n realesrgan-x4plus-anime
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Comparisons with waifu2x
|
|
|
|
We compare Real-ESRGAN-anime with [waifu2x](https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan). We use the `-n 2 -s 4` for waifu2x.

## Comparisons with Sliding Bars
|
|
|
|
The following are video comparisons with sliding bar. You may need to use the full-screen mode for better visual quality, as the original image is large; otherwise, you may encounter aliasing issue.
