Burnout Dominator Cinematic Tutorial 4K Remaster [AI Machine Learning]


Thanks to Kim2091 for the 4x_UltraSharp model. It still looks blurry at times but that's from the limitations of the source footage which was extremely compressed. I was surprised that the AI could recover this much detail in fact. I tried video interpolation with methods such as XVFI however my computer doesn't have enough VRAM at the moment so I will need to upgrade in that case. I attempted RIFE interpolation but the generated frames are blurry and reduce the overall video clarity. //////////////////// Video script ////////////////////// ESRGAN is a Generative Adversarial Network that reconstructs and upscales lower resolution images and textures into higher resolution counterparts while retaining most details. This video was created by extracting the FMV from the NTSC Burnout Dominator disc. This file was processed through ESRGAN with the 4x_ultrasharp training model. The output file was then processed with Adobe Premiere Pro. The video was decided not to be interpolated to a higher framerate with RIFE as it causes interpolation artefacts. The source material is heavily compressed and RIFE does not help improve clarity.
