We present a state-of-the-art high-quality real-time SISR algorithm designed to work with japanese animation and cartoons that is extremely fast (~3ms with Vega 64 GPU), temporally coherent, simple to implement (~100 lines of code), yet very effective. We find it surprising that this method is not currently used ‘en masse’, since the intuition leading us to this algorithm is very straightforward. Remarkably, the proposed method does not use any machine-learning or statistical approach, and is tailored to content that puts importance to well defined lines/edges while tolerates a sacrifice of the finer textures.
