The license plate may as well be printed with the exact pattern you see on screen, and the assumption that it’s a low resolution sampling of some higher density information would be false. Any additional information derived from it is conjecture, however based on reasonable assumptions. By ”enhancing” the image you may gain information, but that information doesn’t inherently relate to the information you lost.
