High quality video upscaling using a unique fast super resolution technology. Information from several video frames is used to greatly enhance quality of a high resolution image in comparison to common image resizing techniques. In constrast to typical super resolution methods, this algorithm works in real time for small resolutions and is reasonably complex for off-line conversion of standard definition to high definition content (SD to HD conversion). In order to match different use cases, several presets to choose between quality and speed are available. The best results are obtained when upscaling uncompressed video 2 times. However, the distinct advantage can be noted when processing a moderately compressed video or resizing video using a fractional upscaling factor. The demo can process AVI files of 704x576 resolution or below, thus making it possible to evaluate quality of CIF to SD conversion and SD to HD content conversion using YUV Super Resolution technology.
