I stand behind what was stated. Only a very small percentage of what you are considering improvements here are due to SR. What you have is a denoiser that leaves a sheet of slowly moving grain, oversharpening effects (sorry, de-blurring artifacts), and shimmering residual aliasing. What's happening here does nothing to restore the rivets on R2, actually blurs Obi-Wan's hair into a solid mass where individual strands were once visable, turns most objects into oil paintings, and only fakes out one into thinking there is more detail through edge enhancement.

What utter bullshit. "Only fakes out one into thinking there is more detail ..." Of course there isn't more detail, but rather the detail that is present across several frames is recovered. The net effect is that each frame contains more detail than it did previously.

SR has quite limited use, obviously, but this is one source that clearly benefits from it.

Okay, let me ask you this. How much of the improvement is from the temporal combination? How much is from all the other things that the script is doing? Scientists usually publish their methods, I have yet to see what the script is actually doing. I guess I just fundamentally have a problem with applying a bunch of denoising and spatial filters and claiming that it's all SR.
