Remember when everyone was laughing about how in crime shows they “enhance” digital photos?

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 35 points 1 year ago

I would still laugh because you're just as likely to get a completely BS image as you are to get an image that is close to reality

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

Upscaled photos are essentially fiction that is based on actual events. Any details that are not clear in the original should not be treated as real.

For the sake of, say, improving the visual quality of a movie, this is fine.

For the sake of forensics...aw hellllll no. The first time a prosecutor tries to use AI-enhanced images in court, they'll be absolutely destroyed by a competent defense attorney, and possibly disbarred.

I feel like AI isnt ubiquitous enough for a lawyer using it improperly to be seen as acting in bad faith and disbarred. I don't know, but disbarring seems like a more "fatal" punishment.

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

You're probably right. I'm sure it would depend on specifics. An extreme case could be considered falsifying evidence, which I think could be grounds for disbarment. In practice it might just be a matter of providing the original photos and clearly presenting any edited images as such.

[-] neutron@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 year ago

It still depends on the training data, so the originals importance will only get prominent as better upscaling methods will arise.

[-] realitista@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

They should really name this software "Enhance!"

[-] orhtej3@latte.isnot.coffee 16 points 1 year ago

Some example video?

[-] zikk_transport2@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

I just tried. It's basically https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN expect OP's program upscales video, frame by frame, and combines those frames into a new video.

Video looks like it's made by AI. Tried on old video - not sure if old or new video looking better. Contours in new video are difderent with each frame lol.

OP did a great job, but overall technology is not there yet. Videos aren't looking good tbh.

Does it configure it's own venv or do I need to to that?

Edit: doesn't look like it. That should be just common practice, Like how oobabooga/SD work. Makes life easier.

What python version?

Edit:

I just downloaded from the releases, giving it a test now

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Here we are in 2023 and people still have to ask for venv and which Python versions. I don't understand why these AI devs on these smaller scales seem to be container adverse.

Did the same. :)

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

It's very ai-upscaley. I think if there is some extra processing steps, then this could be really good.

[-] Seprentes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Quality was bad because ScaleUp had bitrate problem. Now i fixed that. Results now much better.

This is a two-for one. You asked for it :)

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/o-YBDTqX_ZU

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Ad?

[-] gusVLZ@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Is it really an ad since the tool is open source and free?

[-] Regna@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looks like one.

[-] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I feel like if OP had worded it in a more community-oriented manner it wouldn't have read like an ad. Not into it

[-] miketunes_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've been looking at this one, as it supports 360 video (paid): https://revisionfx.com/products/rezup/fcp/

[-] Seprentes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But it don't support 360 video currently.

[-] Seprentes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I fixed problems which they generates poor quality video. Now you can use current version free and better than most paid alternatives.
