Silent Hill 2 - A Francis Bacon Painting
Using ESRGAN to fully reconstruct videos [AI Machine Learning]

ESRGAN is an AI Neural Network software that is capable of upscaling and reconstructinglow-resolution images, while retaining most of their elements and details intact.

This is an experiment I did to show what happens when an AI tries to reconstruct a video with almost no pixels or information in it.

Basically, I took some of the FMVs from the original Silent Hill 2 disk, and downscaled them by ~80%. Then I grabbed a training model that has dozens of references of human faces, and used ESRGAN to upscale the footage 8 times its original resolution.

The results are pretty abstract and disturbing, and they almost resemble the aesthetics of Francis Bacon (Masahiro Ito's favorite painter, whose works served as inspiration for the monsters designs)

Original resolution: 512x384 → 64x48
ESRGAN Upscale: 1024x768 → 1440x1080
(Re-upscaled using Lanczos and temporal sharpening)
