    Neural Networks Upscale Film from 1896 to 4K, Make It Look Like It Was Shot on a Modern Smartphone


    There are lots of valid reasons to be worried about how deep learning techniques could potentially be used to manipulate footage for nefarious reasons. But as Denis Shiryaev demonstrates by upscaling some old black and white film footage from 1896, those AI-powered tools can also be a powerful way to bring the past back to life.

    When watching old film footage that’s plagued with excessive amounts of grain, gate weave, soft focus, and a complete lack of color, it’s hard to feel connected to the people in the clip, or what’s going on. It looks like a movie, and over the years that medium has taught our brains that what they’re seeing on screen might not actually be real. By comparison, the experience of watching videos of friends and family captured on your smartphone is completely different thanks to 4K resolutions and high frame-rates. Those clips feel more authentic and while watching them there’s more of a connection to the moment, even if you weren’t actually there while it was being shot.
