- Fixes to 'after' and 'before' defs for steps (turns out they werent working)
- Feature nets take in a list of layers to extract. Not fully implemented yet.
- Fixes bugs with RAGAN
- Allows real input into generator gan to not be detached by param
Basically just cleaning up the code, removing some bad conventions,
and reducing complexity somewhat so that I can play around with
this arch a bit more easily.
SPSR_model really isn't that different from SRGAN_model. Rather than continuing to re-implement
everything I've done in SRGAN_model, port the new stuff from SPSR over.
This really demonstrates the need to refactor SRGAN_model a bit to make it cleaner. It is quite the
beast these days..
This is done by pre-training a feature net that predicts the features
of HR images from LR images. Then use the original feature network
and this new one in tandem to work only on LR/Gen images.
The logic is that the discriminator may be incapable of providing a truly
targeted loss for all image regions since it has to be too generic
(basically the same argument for the switched generator). So add some
switches in! See how it works!
The latest discriminator architecture was already pretty much a unet. This
one makes that official and uses shared layers. It also upsamples one additional
time and throws out the lowest upsampling result.
The intent is to delete the old vgg pixdisc, but I'll keep it around for a bit since
I'm still trying out a few models with it.
Big update to SRG2 architecture to pull in a lot of things that have been learned:
- Use group norm instead of batch norm
- Initialize the weights on the transformations low like is done in RRDB rather than using the scalar. Models live or die by their early stages, and this ones early stage is pretty weak
- Transform multiplexer to use u-net like architecture.
- Just use one set of configuration variables instead of a list - flat networks performed fine in this regard.
