denoiser_large_v1

denoise_large_v1

denoise_large_v1 is an image denoiser made for images that have a high/medium amount of noise.

It performs slightly better than denoise_medium_v1 on most images and can reconstruct a higher level of detail.

Out-of-Scope Use

<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->

If the image does not have a high level of noise, it is not recommended to use this model, as it will produce less than ideal results.

Training Details

This model was trained on a single Nvidia T4 GPU for around 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Training Data

Around 13 GB of publicly available images under the Creative Commons license.

Speed

With an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 it can denoise a 2k image in approx. 2 seconds using multithreading. Still have not tested it out with CUDA, but it's probably faster.
