AnimeSR Extension

Features
• Can be used on most video sites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, etc. (except for DRM-protected videos).
• AnimeSR can improve video quality in real time without frame drops when enough GPU computing resources are available.
• You can adjust the power of video processing according to your computer's performance: using a more powerful video processing flow on a high performance computer can further improve the image quality. On the other hand, using a lighter video processing flow on a lower-performance computer can prevent frame drops.
• You can customize power slider choices or add new video processing flows using built-in shaders (video processing programs).
• Customizable shortcut keys can be used to easily turn on/off AnimeSR and adjust power.

Major changes in v0.0.3
• The problem of the control page being stretched has been fixed.

T S (ID: 0000001e92a4d8e4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 実写動画の画質はRTX VSRと比べて劣るが、アニメに関しては明らかに画質向上を感じました。 ブラウザーAPIの制限を考えると、この拡張機能は本当に素晴らしいと思います!

コバケン (ID: 00000024a937bbe8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/01/2023 Animationに特化した拡張機能のためAnimation以外の映像は見た目がおかしくなるので毎回ON・OFFしなくてはならないのが残念。 非常に軽いプラグインの割には処理が重く動画が途中で止まるので完成度は非常に低い。 MicrosoftのEdgeブラウザーに搭載されている機能で高解像度化した方が綺麗に見えて作品のカテゴリーに依存しない。 またnVidiaのRTX系のグラボに標準で搭載されているAI処理で高解像度化する機能が現状最強のため継続して開発するなら品質を上げるかもう作るのを辞めた方が賢明な気がする。 パワーボタンを押した後にLevelが調整できるがMAXだとディテールが全部飛んでしまいのっぺらぼうみたいな画像になるのでLevelを下げるとあまり変わらなくなる。 これって結局画像を抽出する→元の解像度を読み込む→拡張後のキャンバスを用意する→色情報を均一化してキャンバスに書き出すという事しかしていないからディテールが潰れるんだと思います。 ビットマップデータをJPEGに変換する機能を応用して動画用にしただけな気がします。

Water (ID: 000000e158e9a4c3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/26/2023 This is revolutionary. The tool works as advertised and upscaled videos and anime. Just use the right power and make sure you have a powerful rig otherwise the fps will lower.
