Are resolution enhancement softwares a meme? Is it theoretically

>>61122858
no

>>61122858
Yeah I see it used on tv all the time. Pretty sure the best ones are written in visual basic.

>>61122875
which question are you answering

>>61122879
Yeah those clever FBI make enhancing software too complicated so us civ folks can't get ahead

Enhancement is entirely subjective. You cannot add detail that does not exist in the source; you can only trick yourself into thinking otherwise.

>Are resolution enhancement softwares a meme?
right now yes
>Is it theoretically possible to mathematically
no
>enhance images and videos?
yes

the trick is that you don't want to actually recover the original image, you want to generate plausible detail from a psychovisual perspective. As soon as someone makes a decent neural network architecture for this you'll have what you want. Right now all neural network architectures, including the shiny new adversarial networks, make oil painting trash, but i'm reasonably sure this will change soon

>>61122925
Right, I'm not looking for a recreation of real life, just a visually appealing, non-blurry, non-artifact ridden picture

This is all hypothetically

>>61122951
again, yes, this will be possible in the near future. I'm talking of blowing up a 32x32 image into a 4000x4000 photorealistic image with no visible artifacts. Not right now though.

You mean something like waifu2x?

>>61123094
Yeah something like that, but stronger and slower

>>61122986
>Not right now
And not ever unless machines try to think what it could be and draw another image similar to that.
It's like asking to extend a picture to any direction without any extra information of the location it was taken in.

dude just go back to intel vs amd threads. you don't even need an image to extend, there are promising preliminary results on generating images from text
