Super-resolution upscales footage by predicting the fine detail a low-resolution frame lacks, rather than just stretching pixels. It restores archive video and rescues compressed streams, though it can invent detail, so output needs review for fidelity-critical uses.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Models and Inference to Computer Vision, Speech, Search, and Generative Video
Super-resolution can rescue low-resolution footage, but invented detail on faces and text is a real risk for news, medical or legal video. Volume 6 covers super-resolution in detail within AI enhancement: upscaling models such as Real-ESRGAN and BasicVSR++, generative video, model artifacts and running enhancement as a batch or live feature. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
