Overview

 

AuraSR is a GAN-based super-resolution model designed to upscale real-world images. Developed as an open-source project by FAL AI, it provides a robust solution for enhancing image quality, particularly those generated by text-to-image models. AuraSR is capable of upscaling images by up to 4x their original resolution, with the potential for multiple applications to achieve even higher resolutions.

Key Features

1. GAN-based Architecture: AuraSR employs a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) for image super-resolution. This architecture allows it to generate high-resolution images efficiently, making it significantly faster than diffusion or autoregressive models.
2. Scalability: The model can handle various upscaling factors without a predefined limit on the resolution, making it versatile for different use cases.
3. Speed: With AuraSR, a 1024px image can be generated in approximately 0.25 seconds, demonstrating its capability for quick processing.
