YouTuber Denis Shiryaev has unveiled his most spectacular AI video restoration yet: a new montage of footage shot by the Lumi\u00e8re brothers.<\/p>\n

Shiryaev spent months using machine learning to colorize, upscale, and enhance a collection of films<\/a> by the French cinema pioneers.<\/p>\n

He began by using an algorithm developed by his company, Neural Love, to remove duplicate frames from the footage and restore the film\u2019s original frame rate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a crucial step to achieve the effect of fluid movement when we do a version of the video at 60 frames per second (fps),\u201d Shiryaev explained on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also applied stabilization to the footage, removed noise where required, and corrected some of the damage to the films.<\/p>\n

Shiryaev then used neural networks to upscale every frame to 4K resolution, generate more frames until he reached 60 fps, and restore a realistic playback speed to the video.<\/p>\n

He also colorized the footage and added detail to the faces with a generative adversarial network (GAN)<\/a> based algorithm.<\/p>\n

Finally, he added new sounds to the film:<\/p>\n

The sounds are not real, and sometimes I did a terrible job. But I really like this ambient effect when, for example, you can see and hear a dog starting to bark on screen and experience the moment as if you were there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
