Could you use machine learning to reconstruct the original screenshot?
- pjc50 4y agoI've wondered about this, although you have to be careful with both the "enhance" process and subsequent OCR to not just insert lies. See this old Xerox bug: https://hexus.net/tech/news/peripherals/58605-serious-number-changing-bug-found-xerox-scans/ https://hexus.net/tech/news/peripherals/58605-serious-number... I expect someone will do "reconstruct original HD movie from one or more theater cam pirated copies" at some point too.

You have a lot of frames of video in the blu-ray reissues that didn't really differ in content from the frames of video in the old laser disc, VHS, bad interlaced DVD transfers. I imagine it wouldn't be hard for AI to fill in the gaps to produce despecialized high-definition frames from the old Star Wars transfers. In other cases, I'd imagine you could use old post production NTSC broadcast and the OG 35mm films to do something much more akin to how Star Trek TNG was updated, than a simple interpolated upsampling.
