Well, Sony Pictures is huge. Their database of movies is enormous. (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is one of the movies distributed by Sony)
Imagine they stored all of the movies they distribute in 4K in your TV. Whenever the movie is displayed they just find it in the database and reproduce the 4K version.
Of course, that is very much infeasible, it requires too large of a storage.
What they do is something like Waifu2x I linked, they train a neural network to learn how to properly upscale movies. They put the "algorithm" on the chip, and its fast enough for real time usage.
- p1esk 11y agoIt seems like you're speculating. Unless you're familiar with the details of their chip, your guess is as good as mine.
- spooningtamarin 11y agoI don't have to be familiar, you can know state of the art deterministic upscalers and their image quality, and know state of the art statistical upscalers and their image quality. When you see side-by-side for these upscalers, it's obvious they aren't that good in deterministic upscaling.
