Whats that? I thought they went out of business after the dot com crash.
Creating photorealistic images with neural networks and a Gameboy Camera

#32How fast does it take to run? could it be done in real time for compression? Also, wonder how low of resolution you could go?
Yes, it can be used for image compression: https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/image-compression-wi... Here's the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.05148 (No connection to the authors, just found it super cool when I read it a few months back.)
I wish they would have compared a JPEG with quality reduced to match the filesize of their NN compressed image. It'd be useful to compare what artifacts are introduced and seeing just how much better it does for the same size.

#33So, smoothing and applying a brownish/pink skin color.
What would be really interesting to see in these kinds of articles is how well you could do with just a batch Photoshop operation hand-tuned on a handful of photos, and then a comparison of how much better the NN does.
Isn't that exactly what he did?
I'm assuming he didn't actually take those photos with a gameboy because he has the full color versions of the shots as well.

No, he generated "fake" Gameboy Camera images from the full color shots, by applying a crude form of dithering to graytone. I think that's perfectly reasonable.
What I'm saying is I would like to see comparison with a fourth image produced from the first (black and white) image by a batch Photoshop operation. I would guess a suitably tuned application of "brown tint, then selective Gaussian blur, then unsharp mask" would get you pretty close.

I see you got downvoted, but I'm glad someone could remind me who the goth guy in the sunglasses was.
