Evaluation of Image Super-Resolution performance using the Kodak dataset processed via H.265 compression (x265), reporting standard quality metrics (PSNR, LPIPS, DISTS, FID) and BDBR variants.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Image Super-Resolution |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Kodak H.265 x265 |
| Metric | PSNR |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [PSNR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=PSNR>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [LPIPS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=LPIPS>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [DISTS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=DISTS>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [FID](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=FID>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [BDBR (PSNR)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=BDBR%20(PSNR)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [BDBR (LPIPS)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=BDBR%20(LPIPS)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [BDBR (DISTS)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=BDBR%20(DISTS)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [BDBR (FID)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-super-resolution-on-kodak-h-265-x265.md?metric=BDBR%20(FID)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
