- 26.08.2021 Added 8 new algorithms
- 15.07.2021 Improved Visualization section to be more user-friendly and added plots with the metric difference on BI and BD degradation to Leaderboard section
- 26.04.2021 Beta-version Release
Key features of the Benchmark
- New metrics for the detail restoration quality
- Check methods’ ability to restore real details
- The most complex content for restoration task: faces, text, QR-codes, car numbers, unpatterned textures, small details
- See plots and visualizations for particular content types
- Different degradation types to lower the resolution: bicubic interpolation (BI) and Gaussian blurring and downsampling (BD), with and without noise
- Many methods use only one degradation type for their training datasets (e.g. bicubic interpolation) and do not work well on others. Choose the method that didn’t overfit the test dataset
- Subjective comparison of new and popular Super-Resolution methods
Leaderboard
The table below shows a comparison of Video Super Resolution methods by subjective score and a few objective metrics. Default ranking is by subjective score. You can click on the model's name in the table to read information about the method. You can see information about all participants here.

Visualization
In this section, you can choose a part of the frame with particular content, see a cropped piece from this, MSU VQMT PSNR* Visualization, and ERQAv1.0 Visualization for this crop.
In part "QR-codes" codes, which can be detected, are surrounded by a blue rectangle. You can see information about all participants here.
*We visualize shifted PSNR metric by applying MSU VQMT PSNR Visualization to frames with optimal shift for PSNR.
