Silent Hill 2 - A Francis Bacon Painting [Using AI Machine Learning to get creepy results]

The Gaming Restoration 2019-07-09 | Silent Hill 2 - A Francis Bacon Painting
Using ESRGAN to fully reconstruct videos [AI Machine Learning]

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructinglow-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.

This is an experiment I did to show what happens when an AI tries to reconstruct a video with almost no pixels or information in it.

Basically, I took some of the FMVs from the original Silent Hill 2 disk, and downscaled them by ~80%. Then I grabbed a training model that has dozens of references of human faces, and used ESRGAN to upscale the footage 8 times its original resolution.

The results are pretty abstract and disturbing, and they almost resemble the aesthetics of Francis Bacon (Masahiro Ito's favorite painter, whose works served as inspiration for the monsters designs)

Original resolution: 512x384 → 64x48
ESRGAN Upscale: 1024x768 → 1440x1080
(Re-upscaled using Lanczos and temporal sharpening)

The Witcher 3 - Killing Monsters Trailer (Remastered in 8K using AI Machine Learning) [IMPRESSIVE]

The Gaming Restoration 2019-07-08 | The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Killing Monsters Cinematic Trailer (2013)

Remastered in 8K using ESRGAN [AI Machine Learning] [UNBELIEVABLE RESULTS!]

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructing low-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.

I took the original uncompressed trailer that CD Projekt released back in 2013, and used ESRGAN with the 4xBox model to upscale the video 4 times its original resolution.

After so many months of experimenting with different types of videos and training models, I can finally say with confidence that these are the best results so far.

The image is so sharp and detailed, and the details are so rich and vivid, that you can even appreciate the micro-details in every character. The wool of the clothes, the skin pores and imperfections
in the faces, the hair of Geralt and the lady... You can even notice the noise caused by the depth of field filter and the sampling in the render itself.

I invite everyone, specially the ones that don't have an actual 8K monitor, to download the video and zoom in the image to fully appreciate all these small details.

Huge thanks to buildist for this amazing training model.

Remastered in 4K using ESRGAN [AI Machine Learning] [IMPRESSIVE RESULTS]

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructing low-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.

I took the original uncompressed trailer that CD Projekt released back in 2013, and used ESRGAN with the Manga109 model to upscale the video 2 times its original resolution.

While the software is perfectly capable of upscaling 1080p images to 8K [7680x3200], the current models weren't trained for such high resolutions.
Once the image reaches a certain amount of pixels, the AI can't improve the details any further.

In order to reduce the aliasing and motion blur, I tried to apply various filters (like Nnedi3, QTGMC and FFT3DFilter, etc). Obviously, the gameplay doesn't look like native 4K, but it does look noticeably sharper (it could even pass for a 720p PS3/X360 title).

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructinglow-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.

I took the original video file from the Silent Hill - Art of Silent Hill DVD, and used ESRGAN with the Manga109 training model to upscale the video 4 times its original resolution.

Original resolution: 720x480
ESRGAN Upscale: 2880x1920 --) 2560x1920

Fallout 4 - Intro Cinematic (Colorized using AI Machine Learning)

The Gaming Restoration 2019-04-24 | Fallout 4 - Live Action Opening
Colorized using Colorful Image Colorization [AI Machine Learning]

Colorful Image Colorization is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of colorizing black and white images using thousands of pictures as references.

I took the original video file from the Fallout 4 PC disk, and used Colorful Image Colorization with the colorization_release_v2 training model to restore the color from the FMV.

NOTE: Keep in mind that colorizing black and white footage using reference images is a hit-and-miss process, and the AI software has to (literally) guess which colors go where. As a consequence, the colorized footage might look quite surreal and psychedelic.

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructing low-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements
and details intact.

I took the original video file from the Silent Hill 2 PS2 disk (the original NTSC-U release), used ESRGAN with the Manga109 training model to upscale the video 4 times its
original resolution, and applied a few filters to restore the color from the first half of the FMV (the videotape has actual color, but it's heavily desaturated).
I also included the original black and white version.
The uncensored audio was taken from the original PS2 disk files.

I took the original video file from the Onimusha 3 PS2 disk, and used ESRGAN with the Manga109 training model to upscale the video 4 times its original resolution.
Unfortunately, the video had a lot of noise and film grain, and I was unable to remove it without downgrading the quality of the visuals
(there are too many small details in the characters). The end results still look sharp and defined, but really dirty.

TEKKEN 5 - Lee Chaolan Ending (Remastered in 4K using AI Machine Learning)

The Gaming Restoration 2019-04-10 | Tekken 5 Lee Chaolan Ending FMV
Remastered in 4K using ESRGAN [AI Machine Learning]

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructing low-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.

I took the original video file from the Biohazard Outbreak PS2 disk, and used ESRGAN with the Manga109 training model to upscale the video 4 times its original resolution.

Since Tekken 5 FMV files are encrypted, I had to record the opening cutscene using PCSX2.
I used AutoDeblock, FineDehalo, KNLMeansCL and LSFmod to remove some noise, sharp the edges and reduce the compression artifacts. Then I used ESRGAN with the Manga109 training model to upscale the video 4 times its original resolution… And the results are beautiful.

Original resolution: 640x448
