What, in this context, is a "heuristic image" as distinct from any other image and how is this different (in utility, not in mechanism) from the vast array of AI image upscaling tools that already exist? What does this do that you cannot do (or cannot do as well, cheaply, or easily) without it?
Explaining—and demonstrating—this would probably help gain traction.
- ikishade 1y agoIn this context, an image where there's some data represented by each unique RGBA value, and less of the "smooth" complexities of normal images like from a camera. So ones with small color palettes. Depending on the output size, it can run very fast and I've used it to up-scale a simple 2-color map for an island in water off one 512x512 training image. I tried to demo this to HN back in July, but my post back then was buried.

- ikishade 1y agoThat's a very good point. Thank you!
