These are the most impressive results I'm aware of: https://github.com/david-gpu/srez https://github.com/alexjc/neural-enhance https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.04802.pdf
but both gives the best results with specialized training (faces for example). The one Michael proposed seems a more generic one. No idea about performance but "execution" time is usually fast, memory may be a much bigger requirement. This one is about noise reduction: http://webdav.is.mpg.de/pixel/files/neural_denoising/paper.pdf I think in a couple of years machine learning will be the only way to achieve state of the art results for about anything. If not today already. Noise, white balance, clipping recovery, blurry/out of focus shots, color casts, lens correction, defringe, sharpening, inpainting, etc. Up to this (pose edit, content generation): https://github.com/nightrome/really-awesome-gan https://www.slideshare.net/Artifacia/generative-adversarial-networks-and- their-applications (slide 24, 27) It's going to be fun :) Lorenzo 2017-07-09 18:14 GMT+02:00 David Vincent-Jones <david...@gmail.com>: > Along the same line: Some years ago Cliff Reiter (Lafayette College) > (using Jsoftware) demonstrated and published 'lossless edge' image > rotation using fractals. > > David > > On 07/09/2017 08:16 AM, Michael Below wrote: > > Hi, > > > > last week I took a couple of images at a concert, and it turned out > > that only a small part of each image was interesting.
