Evaluation of perceptual image super-resolution models on the validation split of ImageNet, specifically using data processed or compressed via H.266 (vvenc), assessed using metrics including PSNR, LPIPS, FID, and bitrate (bpp).

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 | Perceptual Image Super-Resolution |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet H.266 vvenc (val) |
| 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/perceptual-image-super-resolution-on-imagenet-h-266-vvenc-val.md?metric=PSNR>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Bitrate (bpp)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/perceptual-image-super-resolution-on-imagenet-h-266-vvenc-val.md?metric=Bitrate%20(bpp)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.

- [LPIPS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/perceptual-image-super-resolution-on-imagenet-h-266-vvenc-val.md?metric=LPIPS>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [DISTS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/perceptual-image-super-resolution-on-imagenet-h-266-vvenc-val.md?metric=DISTS>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [FID](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/perceptual-image-super-resolution-on-imagenet-h-266-vvenc-val.md?metric=FID>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [BDBR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/perceptual-image-super-resolution-on-imagenet-h-266-vvenc-val.md?metric=BDBR>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
