The fact is that it’s usually impossible to achieve this because there isn’t enough detail in a small number of pixels to eke out a clearer image than what you already have in the original file. But it looks like a bunch of Google researchers have figured out a way to do that – or at least get pretty darn close....
A team of researchers at Google have figured out a way to synthesize realistic details from low resolution photos using neural networks. Cool! or what?
