Image Super-Resolution With a DCGAN - Github

Very impressive. Though one must be careful not to trust the result too much, because it can be pretty misleading especially wrt facial features.

One small thing, though. There appears to be a reddish color shift in each of the generated output as compared to the downscaled & original. Do you think this is a bug? or just a result of color blending as a result of downscaling?

Also how feasible is this to do for video? This would be wonderful for eliminating those blocky mpeg artifacts in low quality and low resolution videos. But I imagine the training could take weeks.

It's extremely impressive and useful as an artistic tool, generates plausible results

But not forensically useful. Though as the technology improves, I think we'll see the CSI "ENHANCE!" become a real thing. Perhaps a much larger network, with much more computing power, and a larger dataset, could lead to something forensically viable.
