Through various bits of software trickery, it is possible to upscale low-res images to a higher res with a simulation of added detail, and it is also possible synthesize higher framerates by analyzing the motion of objects in a video sequence. Can we use these techniques together to "remaster" poor digital video sources into much better quality? You be the judge!
The source of this video was 288x144 at 10fps, and was synthesized and uploaded to YouTube as 720p60. Avisynth was used for the conversion, with Interframe() and nnedi3_rpow2() used for the bulk of the processing.
I had ideas on how to improve my previous effort, and based on the look of this result, I think I succeeded. There is a lot more motion with a lot less image breakups. It's not HD, but it's definitely better than a 10fps postage stamp.
