"Enhance" is real. When will this stuff trickle into lower level law enforcement?
- nashashmi 9y agoShould it? The accuracy of the pictures were dismal.
- TFortunato 9y agoHopefully never, but I'm sure someone will see this and try! (Because these kind of techniques aren't really enhancing the images in a way that gives you new and useful information: they are taking the low-res images as input, and giving you a plausible high-res image as output, based on it's training data. It is NOT however trying to say "this is the ACTUAL high res image that generated this low-res image"
- asfdsfggtfd 9y agoHopefully never. This does not enhance the image - it makes up a plausible imaginary image. EDIT: Furthermore the range of plausible imaginary images that match a given input is high (infinite?).
- pc86 9y agoJust need to look at the picture of Fred Armisen to see that this technique can generate a picture of a plausibly real human who bears no/very little resemblance to the original image.
- smrtinsert 9y agoWhy not? A recreation that leads to an identification should be enough for a warrant that could be used for a continued investigation.
- asfdsfggtfd 9y agoWe could also just pick a random person off the street and punish them - it would be similarly accurate and fair (actually probably fairer - if this is trained on pictures with a certain bias it will return pictures with that bias). This paper does not demonstrate an enhancement technique but a phenomena which those using inverse methods called "overfitting".
