Nvidia patents method to enlarge images using neural networks
Nvidia describes a technique that uses a type of computer program called a neural network to make small images larger without losing quality. The system uses specific mathematical steps to rebuild the details of the picture, ensuring the overall look and texture stay consistent even when the size increases.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for texture synthesis from small input textures in images using convolutional neural networks. In at least one embodiment, one or more convolutional layers are used in conjunction with one or more transposed convolution operations to generate a large textured output image from a small input textured image while preserving global features and texture, according to various novel techniques described herein.
