Adobe's new artificial intelligence is enhancing blurry videos to HD quality.
Adobe enables blurry videos to appear in HD quality with its artificial intelligence enhancement model called VideoGigaGAN. VideoGigaGAN increases the resolution of videos by 8 times without introducing distortion.
Last year, Adobe made a significant impact by introducing Firefly, based on the previous SenseiAI, and the company continues its efforts in the field of artificial intelligence without slowing down. This time, Adobe researchers have developed a new generative artificial intelligence model called VideoGigaGAN, which can increase the resolution of blurry videos up to eight times their original resolution while minimizing distortion in the videos.
Blurry videos are becoming a thing of the past.
Adobe emphasizes that the VideoGigaGAN model outperforms other Video Super Resolution (VSR) methods. According to the company, with fine-tuning and measures in place, the enhancement process can be done without distortion in the images. Researchers describe VideoGigaGAN as a new generative VSR model capable of producing videos with high-frequency details and temporal consistency.
According to the statements, VideoGigaGAN is built on GigaGAN, which is a large-scale visual enhancer. For those unfamiliar, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), generally effective in increasing static images to higher resolutions, can cause shaking and undesired distortions when applied to videos. Other video enhancement methods can perform enhancement without these shaking issues. Adobe states that they have combined the strengths of both sides in VideoGigaGAN specifically. Researchers have managed to achieve high video quality with much less shaking and distortion thanks to the techniques and measures they have applied.
Adobe also shared numerous examples for VideoGigaGAN. While not every sample is perfect and some artificiality is understandable, the overall quality is quite high in most cases. In fact, some examples are of such high quality that it’s difficult to tell that artificial intelligence had a hand in them. However, VideoGigaGAN is currently only a research product, and its release date or whether we will see the model in the near future is entirely uncertain.
