Image restoration is a long-standing low-level vision problem that aims to restore high-quality images from low-quality images (e.g., downscaled, noisy and compressed images). While state-of-the-art image restoration methods are based on convolutional neural networks, few attempts have been made with Transformers which show impressive performance on high-level vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a strong baseline model SwinIR for image restoration based on the Swin Transformer. SwinIR consists of three parts: shallow feature extraction, deep feature extraction and high-quality image reconstruction. In particular, the deep feature extraction module is composed of several residual Swin Transformer blocks (RSTB), each of which has several Swin Transformer layers together with a residual connection. We conduct experiments on three representative tasks: image super-resolution (including classical, lightweight and real-world image super-resolution), image denoising (including grayscale and color image denoising) and JPEG compression artifact reduction. Experimental results demonstrate that SwinIR outperforms state-of-the-art methods on different tasks by up to 0.14~0.45dB, while the total number of parameters can be reduced by up to 67%.

Testing (without preparing datasets)

For your convience, we provide some example datasets (~20Mb) in /testsets. If you just want codes, downloading models/network_swinir.py, utils/util_calculate_psnr_ssim.py and main_test_swinir.py is enough. Following commands will download pretrained models automatically and put them in model_zoo/swinir. All visual results of SwinIR can be downloaded here.

We also provide an online Colab demo for real-world image SR google colab logo for comparison with the first practical degradation model BSRGAN (ICCV2021) GitHub Stars and a recent model RealESRGAN. Try to test your own images on Colab!
