Here's what happens when you apply machine learning to enhance the Lumires' 1896 movie "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" / Boing Boing

First, take a look at this 1895 short movie "L'Arrive d'un Train la Ciotat" ("Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat," from the Lumire Brothers. This film was upscaled to 4K and 60 frames per second using a variety of neural networks and other enhancement techniques. The result can be seen in the video below:

The Spot has an article about how it was done:

[YouTuber Denis Shiryaev] used a mix of neural networks from Gigapixel AI and a technique called depth-aware video frame interpolation to not only upscale the resolution of the video, but also increase its frame rate to something that looks a lot smoother to the human eye.

At this years Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, researcher Chen Chen presented a cool project that vastly improves the quality of images captured in low-light conditions. Via his presentation: Imaging in low light is challenging due to low photon count and low SNR. Short-exposure images suffer from noise, while long exposure can induce []

In Identifiable Images of Bystanders Extracted from Corneal Reflections, British psychology researchers Rob Jenkins and Christie Kerr show that recognizable images of the faces of unpictured bystanders can be captured from modern, high-resolution photography by zooming in on subjects eyes to see the reflections in their corneas. The researchers asked experimental subjects to identify faces []
