You can't get information from a photograph that isn't in that photograph in the first place. Any software technique that purports to fill in those blanks, like a neural network, is drawing a face in based on what it knows about faces in general. The face you get may look realistically like a face, but it won't look like the face of the person who robbed you, except perhaps by pure coincidence.

- theincredulousk 7y agoVideo frames can be composited to improve clarity the same way it is done in Astrophotography. And your assertion that "any software technique...won't look like the face" is incorrect. Again using multiple frames, it's entirely possible to infer what clearer underlying detail would result in the less-sharp pixel values in the video, given the training data establishing the relationship. It's a specific technique for reconstruction, not just drawing in a realistic but synthetic replacement like Photoshop's content-aware fill.
