Helamans Testset

This is a set of images I had created once for validation while training my sisr models.

I often used images out of this set for visualization purposes when then putting examples on my github repository when releasing my new model, and also when putting models on openmodeldb

My goal was to have a small set, all the same dimensions 256x256. This has some few reasons: Some networks when training were actually not able to infer on images that had dimensions that were not divisible by 8 or 16, so this set prevents validation errors for such cases. Also, since they are all the same dimensions, one doesnt just run out of VRAM during validation in case of big networks since if the first image can be infered, all can.

I tried to gather together some different images, like 2D Cutout, Anime, Realistic Photo, Bokeh effect, Compression and so forth, so each image tested something different.

I thought Id provide this publicly. (I later on extended this set with other images for realistic image training, but these are not part of this set since dimensions are different)
