Basic Upscaling Operations

Single Image Processing

Here's a basic Python script for single image upscaling:

python
from core_ultra import Upscaler

# Initialize upscaler
upscaler = Upscaler(model='ultra_high_quality')

# Process single image
def upscale_image(input_path, output_path, scale_factor=4):
    upscaler.load_image(input_path)
    upscaler.set_scale(scale_factor)
    upscaler.process()
    upscaler.save(output_path)
    
# Example usage
upscale_image('input.jpg', 'output.jpg', scale_factor=4)

Batch Processing

For handling multiple images efficiently:

python
def batch_upscale(input_dir, output_dir, scale_factor=4):
    upscaler = Upscaler(model='ultra_high_quality')
    
    for image in os.listdir(input_dir):
        if image.lower().endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg')):
            input_path = os.path.join(input_dir, image)
            output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, f'upscaled_{image}')
            upscale_image(input_path, output_path, scale_factor)

Advanced Features

Custom Resolution Control

Fine-tune your output resolution with precise control:

python
def custom_resolution_upscale(input_path, output_path, target_width, target_height):
    upscaler = Upscaler(model='ultra_high_quality')

    upscaler.set_detail_enhancement({
        'sharpness': strength,
        'microdetail': strength * 0.7,
        'edge_preservation': strength * 0.9,
        'texture_preservation': strength * 0.85
    })

Noise Reduction

Configure noise reduction settings:

python
def configure_noise_reduction(upscaler, level='adaptive'):
    noise_settings = {
        'adaptive': {
            'strength': 0.6,
            'threshold': 0.1,
            'preserve_details': True
        },
