About The Project

The project was developed using Python 3.6. The aim of this is to scale up a video and increase the quality of it. Using Image Super Resolution, each frame is scaled up. The various deep learning methods allow for quality to improve even though the video is scaled up. You can learn more about ISR here.

Currently this has only been tested on mp4 videos.
