It'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.

- 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.
