The article explains how to use ffmpeg‑python and OpenCV in Python to transcode a 720p video to 1080p, discusses the limitations of simple upscaling, and provides code examples for resolution scaling as well as basic color and sharpening enhancements.
iQiyi's ZoomAI AI-based video restoration and enhancement system won the 2021 CCF Science and Technology Outstanding Progress Award, marking its fifth consecutive CCF honor; the system uses proprietary AI algorithms for super‑resolution, frame interpolation, scratch repair, colorization, etc., restoring classic films and improving viewer experience.
iQiyi and Xiamen University have created an AI‑powered Film Restoration Joint Laboratory that merges the university’s film‑history expertise with iQiyi’s video‑understanding and enhancement technology, delivering restoration up to 500 times faster and debuting a 4K, AI‑enhanced version of the 1960s classic “Little Soldier Zhang Ga” while preserving its original artistic style.
Jiang Zidong explains iQIYI's ZoomAI video enhancement tech, covering super‑resolution, denoising/sharpening, color correction, scratch removal, and frame interpolation, and its modular deployment across business lines for restoring classic content and boosting low‑resolution media, achieving massive efficiency gains.
The YOUKU‑VSRE 2019 challenge invites researchers to develop state‑of‑the‑art video enhancement and super‑resolution models using the largest, most diverse simulated‑noise dataset, with three competition stages (preliminary, semi‑final, final), cash prizes up to ¥100,000, certificates, and fast‑track recruitment opportunities at Alibaba (Youku).
