Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Fuck no. You're basically morphing between two or more existing images, not creating or enhancing or getting anything real just something that vaguely looks like a weirdly blurry slideshow

The creator of that apparently got really angry when people told them that it looked like garbage.

Any comment applying criticisms toward the AI interpolation process or appearance, no matter their nature, will be deleted.

Damn that looked even worse than I imagined it would. The movement doesn't even naturally follow one shot to the next.

It explains why in the pinned comment:

This is because of the fact that the source data for this interpolation was not captured at a regularly-timed interval. Twenty-three photos comprise the sequence, and six of those photos have been determined to have gaps of roughly three seconds between them, while others are just a second and a half apart. [...] As such, it is extremely difficult, even with the most advanced interpolation methods currently possible, to create a seamless, 100% realistic interpolation of the original photographic sequence. [...] The reason this particular interpolation looks rough is simple: It's based on a set of original source images captured from a standard-definition documentary that aired in 1990. The screenshots taken of the sequence in that documentary, while decent, were insufficient for the methods applied. They were improved using AI sharpening and enhancement methods, yet still did not match the quality and resolution of the original sequence. As such, the interpolation had a lot of missing "data" to fill in. Since this interpolation, a greater-resolution product was produced ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD-RldBQx7U ) , however even further work is currently in progress.

Omg that garbage looks like an elephant toothpaste experiment.
