Hi,

I updated this patch. I added padding to the tf model constructed from
native
backend model file and updated sr filter to work only with float gray
format, removing
all conversions and scaling from it.

But there are some issues. First, to use this filter for formats with
chroma channels I do:
ffmpeg -i in.bmp -filter_complex 'extractplanes=y+u+v[y][u][v]' -map '[y]'
y.bmp -map '[u]' u.bmp -map '[v]' v.bmp
ffmpeg -i y.bmp -vf sr=dnn_backend=tensorflow:model=espcn.model y2.bmp
ffmpeg -i u.bmp -vf scale=iw*2:-1 u2.bmp
ffmpeg -i v.bmp -vf scale=iw*2:-1 v2.bmp
ffmpeg -i y2.bmp -i u2.bmp -i v2.bmp -filter_complex
'mergeplanes=0x001020:yuv444p' out.bmp
Can these commands be merged into one command? I haven't add any examples
to the filters.texi yet,
because this example maybe a bad one with all these intermediate outputs.
Another issue, is that this filter basically became a filter that executes
neural network for
one channel input and this network does not have to be a network for super
resolution (although native
backend supports few layers, basically supporting sr models). Maybe this
filter should be renamed to
something like dnn? It can be extended later to support inputs with more
channels.
