## Model description
SESR is based on linear overparameterization of CNNs and creates an efficient model architecture for SISR. It was introduced in the paper [Collapsible Linear Blocks for Super-Efficient Super Resolution](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.09404).
The official code for this work is available at this 
https://github.com/ARM-software/sesr

We develop a modified version that could be supported by [AMD Ryzen AI](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/execution-providers/Vitis-AI-ExecutionProvider.html).

## Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for super resolution. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co./models?search=amd/sesr) to look for all available models.


## How to use

### Installation

   Follow [Ryzen AI Installation](https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/inst.html) to prepare the environment for Ryzen AI.
   Run the following script to install pre-requisites for this model.
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt 
   ```


### Data Preparation (optional: for accuracy evaluation)

1. Download the benchmark(https://cv.snu.ac.kr/research/EDSR/benchmark.tar) dataset.
2. Organize the dataset directory as follows:
```Plain
└── dataset
     └── benchmark
          ├── Set5
               ├── HR
               |   ├── baby.png
               |   ├── ...
               └── LR_bicubic
                   └──X2
                      ├──babyx2.png
                      ├── ...
          ├── Set14
          ├── ...    
```

### Test & Evaluation

- Code snippet from [`one_image_inference.py`](one_image_inference.py) on how to use
```python
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='EDSR and MDSR')
    parser.add_argument('--onnx_path', type=str, default='SESR_int8.onnx',
                    help='onnx path')
    parser.add_argument('--image_path', default='test_data/test.png',
                    help='path of your image')
    parser.add_argument('--output_path', default='test_data/sr.png',
                    help='path of your image')
    parser.add_argument('--ipu', action='store_true',
                    help='use ipu')
    parser.add_argument('--provider_config', type=str, default=None,
                    help='provider config path')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    if args.ipu:
        providers = ["VitisAIExecutionProvider"]
        provider_options = [{"config_file": args.provider_config}]
    else:
        providers = ['CUDAExecutionProvider', 'CPUExecutionProvider']
        provider_options = None
   
    onnx_file_name = args.onnx_path
    image_path = args.image_path
    output_path = args.output_path

    ort_session = onnxruntime.InferenceSession(onnx_file_name,  providers=providers, provider_options=provider_options) 
    lr = cv2.imread(image_path)[np.newaxis,:,:,:].transpose((0,3,1,2)).astype(np.float32)
    sr = tiling_inference(ort_session, lr, 8, (56, 56))
    sr = np.clip(sr, 0, 255)
    sr = sr.squeeze().transpose((1,2,0)).astype(np.uint8)
    sr = cv2.imwrite(output_path, sr)
```

 - Run inference for a single image
  ```python
  python one_image_inference.py --onnx_path SESR_int8.onnx --image_path /Path/To/Your/Image --ipu --provider_config Path/To/vaip_config.json
  ```
Note: **vaip_config.json**  is located at the setup package of Ryzen AI (refer to [Installation](https://huggingface.co./amd/yolox-s#installation))

 - Test accuracy of the quantized model
  ```python
  python test.py --onnx_path SESR_int8.onnx --data_test Set5 --ipu --provider_config Path/To/vaip_config.json 
  ```



### Performance
| Method     | Scale | Flops | Set5         |
|------------|-------|-------|--------------|
|SESR-S (float) |X2 |10.22G |37.21|
|SESR-S (INT8) |X2  |10.22G |36.81|
- Note: the Flops is calculated with the input resolution is 256x256
