Yes it "guesses" what the missing information is and populates it. Similar approaches will work for live action media too.
And successive video frames encode so much extra resolution that a single frame doesn't capture, so there's a lot of information to pull from.
- beezischillin 5y agoThat's pretty cool, anime seems to be the perfect material for doing that upscaling on. I tried the upscaling stuff newer video games have implemented and the real-time version of it can sometimes be glitchy. I'll be happy to see higher res versions of digital stuff even if it means AI upscaling but as someone who loves messing around with photo and video gear for fun I will never not find film endlessly fascinating. Somehow the fact that that they had to do all effects practically meanwhile they had the technology to film it that was so detailed that it's still up to our current resolution standards is amazing to me.
