  --gpus GPUS           gpu ids (default: 0)

An example of usage is shown as follows:

python eval.py --model model/model_epoch_50.pth --dataset Set5 --cuda

Prepare Training dataset

We provide a simple hdf5 format training sample in data folder with 'data' and 'label' keys, the training data is generated with Matlab Bicubic Interplotation, please refer Code for Data Generation for creating training files.

Performance

We provide a pretrained VDSR model trained on 291 images with data augmentation
No bias is used in this implementation, and the gradient clipping's implementation is different from paper
Performance in PSNR on Set5
