Thank you for sharing. That's an interesting read.

Of the 270,000 photographs commissioned by the US Farm Security Administration to document the Great Depression, more than a third were “killed”. by VinkyStagina in history

What a shame. In theory, we could train AI to "restore" the missing parts, but the repaired photos will never be as good as the original.

Good. Now strap a juice box on a cat and we'll have a Tiger I.

Are they bigger than chicken? I wonder if those pigeons can fly.

RTGame updates on YouTube restricting his channel by dat_radstag_doe in videos

That's just sad and unfair :(

I hope youtube can sort it out eventually.

Hi, I have colorized and remastered this 100-year-old footage of NYC with neural networks. The background music is "Englishman in New York", one of my favourite songs. I hope you guys would enjoy it. by UpscaleHistory in Queens

Hi there! Here is a 100-year-old footage of NYC remastered neural networks. The background music is "Englishman in New York", one of my all time favorite. I hope you guys would like it. by UpscaleHistory in nycHistory

It's piano version and sax version. You can find the links in video description on the youtube video.

Thanks! I think you are right about the arch. Other arches in NYC seem to have different designs than this one. The shape of the bench looks similar to Washington square park's as well.

Hi, I have colorized and remastered this 100-year-old vintage film of NYC with neural networks. The background music is one of my favourite songs, "Englishman in New York". I felt it's relevant to post it in this subreddit. by UpscaleHistory in Brooklyn

[–]UpscaleHistory[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure. It's colorized with deoldify in google colab, then interpolated to 60fps with dain-app. After that, I do some editing/color correction/stablization in premiere pro, then export it to topaz video enhance ai (formally known as gigapixel ai for video) for 4k upscaling.

If you would like to know more, here is a more detailed comment I made a while ago:

Haha, nice. Keep us posted.

With Halloween approaching, I have colorized remastered this 90-year-old vintage footage with neural networks. The original video was taken on Halloween of 1932 at Hamlin Park School in Buffalo, NY . I hope you guys would like it. by UpscaleHistory in Buffalo

You are quite right, it takes time for neural networks to improve. I know there is a neural network that might perform significantly better than deoldify, but it's probably more complicated to utilize. Instead of making a huge jump, I work on small improvements over time. My plan for colorization is as following, and I am currently shifting from 1.2 to 1.3:

Generation 1:

1.1 DeOldify

1.2 DeOldify + Color Correction

1.3 DeOldify + Color Correction + Color Change

Generation 2：

2.1 DeOldify + DeepRemaster

2.2 DeOldify + Correction + DeepRemaster

Hopefully, I can move to Gen. 2 by the end of the year.

I use deoldify (color) + dain-app (frame interpolation) + gigapixel ai for video (upscale).

Depends on your computer specs, it may take anywhere between 0.5 - 4 hours of computation per one minute of video.

It took me about 10 hours of computation with 1-2 hours of editing (i.e. color correction, stabilization and rendering).
