Testing

Pytorch 1.1

• Download PIRM_dataset and unzip it into folder Test_Datasets
• Download Checkpoint and put them into folder ckpt
• Run testing:

python test_PPON.py --test_hr_folder Test_Datasets/PIRM_Val/ --test_lr_folder Test_Datasets/PIRM_Val_LR/

PI VS LPIPS

As illustrated in the above picture, we can obviously see that the PI score of EPSR3 (2.2666) is even better than HR (2.3885), but EPSR3 shows unnatural and lacks proper texture and structure.
