The result of your "superresolution" method does look better than the original GOUT, but I'm unsure if it comes from the actual superresolution part.

You guys forget (or avoid, I don't know) one important thing to do: to post comparsions between your, Team Blu's or some other denoising+sharpening method that was done with at least some effort. It's very misleading to post comparsions with a simple AviSynth resizing (one line of actual scripting?); it should be a good resizing *AND* a good sharpening to make it fair.

I'm not saying there's no improvement. There is indeed some. I'm saying there is little to gain from the "superresolution" theory and it's more about temporal denoising and sharpening. It'd be important to see where the gains are coming from, and if those are bigger than in the earlier projects.

I discussed some comparison frames from Team Blu's release with DrDre via PM. I figured it may upset some people to make this thread into a 'how is or isn't this better than Team Blu's work' thread.

But even aside from the filters, I think Team Blu put a lot of work into cleaning up the GOUT as far as damage, glue, etc. It would be wonderful to see a collaboration with them, if they were interested, once these scripts are worked out. Especially if Blu's scripts in tandem with Dre's would produce superior results. But that might be expecting a bit too much or they might just prefer their own methods.
