My first thought is, is this fake? (Edit: Okay maybe not?) It looks extremely fake. (Edit: A credit to how effective it is?) Like the blurriness seems applied after the fact. It can really generate a license plate number from that shadowy rectangle? I'm expecting to see giveaways for AI but I see none, except maybe the simple oval badge on the sedan (although that might be a real vehicle make; not sure). If someone else manages to deploy and try this please share your result.

If I understand what they did correctly it won’t have the same failure mode of hallucinations that a diffusion model has - it’s not a model that has an understanding of the world, it’s a model that’s really good at turning async per pixel light event data plus blurry rgb into sharp rgb. That said I don’t understand it very well, for instance there’s a voxel step in the pipeline and I have no idea why.

The first thing I looked for was text and saw they used cars in an example. I thought the same thing as you 'this can actually get readable license plates?' I don't know enough about ML to understand the associated paper, though.

  One thing that might explain it is this logic thread: a) this is a car, b) this is where a car's license plate would normally be, and c) license plates usually have numbers like this. Upon close inspection the plate's digits look realistic, but there are some symbols that look unfamiliar to me. But I don't know what country the footage is from, so I don't know real from unreal when it comes to symbols. If the car's badge turned out to correctly match the car model, that might be a bit of a red flag. Although it's not out of the question that a model could eventually recognize car models and get badges right. It just seems unlikely that I'd see such an advancement in a video before I ever saw it in a still image.
