Look at the ground in the thumbnail, for example, or the hill, for that matter, as well as the building in the background. And the fence, too.
The details are much more distinct in the upscale.
It actually surprised me, I was just expecting it to effectively be a de-speckle with edge sharpening, but it's exceeded my expectations.
- grogenaut 7y agoIt's sharper, but it's the type of sharper that happens in a dream, look at the text on the left building (quonset hut with a hole in the side). The text flutters as the net fever dreams context from it. Like a dream it has more detail the more you look but it also isn't real. It's like how I can read shit even why my eyes are very dry or it's beyond the extent of my vision, it's tossing it's guesses into a viewable object, but it's just extrapolations, like how I can tell the score in a nfl game across the bar, I know the game isn't 88 to 9, it's likely 28 to 7. This doesn't make it any less cool, just putting it in context. Zoom and enhance away.
- dredmorbius 7y agoThe inference resolves to a high-detail and plausible result, but not necessarily one that has any fidelity with the ground truth. Which is somewhat like a dream, in ways. Additional information -- say, a close-up image of the quonset structure's signage, or even knowing what the text was, might result in additional detail. A method that was specifically designed for extracting textual information out of blurred images (several exist, and they're frighteningly accurate -- any image-hiding based on only pixelation or blurring without additional noise introduction is not particularly secure) might also be able to identify a text from the original film source.
- baq 7y agodream is a very apt word to describe this upscaling process. the AI just dreams up detail where there's none in the source material.
