DS9 Remastered with Machine Learning? | 4K Comparison Trailer

Was looking for a new media player and noticed that nvidia shield pro has AI upscaling now which increases the quality of lower resolution video material drastically then i hitted this interesting thing that somebody did last year.

I must say this looks really impressive and frankly een old series that never got out of the 480 area could heavily profit from this in the future.

i ran across an ai upscaling video and its simply incredible what can be achieved.

this is a compilation but i've timestamped it to a DS game, the upscaling looks like those TV police shows where they comically say "enhance" its absolutely unreal. 2d art is probably inherently easier to upscale but geeze look at this.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I know some guys that do this with music videos
They take Master 480p version of say a Rihanna Music Video and

Stills don't do it justice but it looks like real HD in motion but it just been AI Upscaled
And not like those YouTube shitty Remasters
 
Wasn’t the Ds9 4K remaster done by one of the leads at exremetech ?

I had seen some reports from his work in progress and although not really my thing, the difference was night and day and a huge step up on what was used to feed the machine learning tool

so many movies this could come in handy with and much better than some blu ray remasters (predator original blu I am looking at you 🙈)

(Edit, on phone and too early to spell check)

What time is it?
My friend asked me where he can buy this thing, he has a lot of old porn...footage from his infancy and he want to show them to his wife...

Show what to his wife? (Circle One)

A) old porn
B) footage from his infancy
C) both

This looks like it has to be re-drawn to see a difference like that.

I have seen a lot of low-res images being reconstructed and look great but if the original image lacks too much information, a lot of weirdness can happen. Like, if you see at the face of the character in the low res picture, there's simply not any information at all to upscale it like the resulting image. There is no trace of a slightly opened mouth at it's side, no eyes, no separate hair patches. This is re-drawn.

OH MY GOD...

I swear to god, this episode...
I basically watched that show just for her...
Me too, bro; me too.

I've always had a really bizarre sexual fetish for women raising their eyebrows; not necessarily in a seductive, come hither kinda way, just in almost any way. And one of the things I always loved about her was she could never keep those little fuckers still. That woman couldn't open her mouth without her eyebrows spasming round her face,

Every time I see a thread title with DS....

Demon's Souls?
Death Stranding?
DualShock?
Nintendo DS?
Dark Spire?
Digimon Story?

Anyway, video was never going to be future proof. It's cool that this tech exists.

Completely insane how much detail the AI is able to infer from so little visual information. This should be standard in consoles and TVs. It would no longer matter what resolution or format you video comes in, it'll look amazing. I would no longer need to wait for 4K blu ray remasters of my favorite old movies.

Go watch the DS9 documentary, ’What We Left Behind’, they have complete sections upressed to HD and Widescreen from the original negative.



Unfortunately, YouTube compression doesn't do it justice. Had been sitting on the bluray since release and popped it in last week - man, it was friggin glorious

you can't put a price on sparks
this seems more important for Babylon 5 than anything else. that will probably never get an HD release due to legal issues.

but its great that this kind of technology exists; will probably help all of those things that don't have their source available anymore. it will always be best to go back to the source, but since there are things that catch on fire etc, this is a great way to at least "start" remastering some of that stuff that can't

She's about as crazy left as Marina Sirtis. No idea if she was always that way or if it happened after she married Adam Nimoy.

Avery Brooks is just plain kooky IRL. Nothing left or right.

But who cares, he brought his A game on the show.
