waifu2x is an image scaling and noise reduction program for anime-style art and other types of photos. [1] waifu2x was inspired by Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network (SRCNN). [2] [3] It uses Nvidia CUDA for computing, [4] although alternative implementations that allow for OpenCL [5] and Vulkan [6] have been created.
The resulting image is larger than the original, and preserves all the original detail, but has (possibly undesirable) jaggedness. The diagonal lines of the "W", for example, now show the "stairway" shape characteristic of nearest-neighbor interpolation. Other scaling methods below are better at preserving smooth contours in the image.
This method uses machine learning for more detailed images, such as photographs and complex artwork. Programs that use this method include waifu2x, Imglarger and Neural Enhance.

Anime fans have also developed image upscaling tools, some using Artificial intelligence. Examples of such tools are waifu2x , Bigjpg and Anime4K. The Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP, a play on the initials of the former Soviet Union ) was originally created for the playback of anime fansubs.
