AI Video Upscaling

Part 1: What is AI Upscaling

Al upscaling is the process of generating additional pixels of image information in order to add detail where there was none previously, which helps to replicate the appearance of a higher-resolution image and then apply machine learning to enhance the outcome.

By raising the bit rate of the video, it is possible to slightly increase the visual quality. However, raising the bit rate of movies with resolution upscaled does not significantly improve their image quality.

The good news is that upscaling software based on artificial intelligence technology has been developed, making it possible to increase the picture quality of DVDs as well as lower-quality movies.
