For those without showdead one, hamburglar's comment:

Yeah, and in fact the fact that it looks crisper can be misleading. You can't rely on a detail that a method like this infers from the low resolution image. Look at the green tiles on the kitchen floor in the 6th example. The "Our SR Result" image looks fantastic, but it's obvious that it's false, because the tiles end up misshapen and unevenly spaced. You really wouldn't want to convict someone of murder based on this type of enhancement.



I can't reply to him directly, so I'll do it here. You wouldn't want to convict someone of murder, no. But you could certainly use it to generate leads.


The scary thing comes when people stare using it to convict someone of murder. CSI has trained us to do things like that :/


Looking through hamburglar's comment history, I can't work out why he'd be shadowbanned. He doesn't seem to have said anything particularly egregious or spammed.
