"The Secret of the Third Planet" with improved neural networks graphics

I noticed that Habr has an interest in the topic of improving graphics in old games.

I just made a graphics mod for the first Gothic .

And recently, I decided to use a similar method to improve the graphics in my favorite childhood cartoon -
" The Secret of the Third Planet ."

Here are comparison frames .

And below is the result:


Tell me if it's worth it. Does anyone need this? Or is it better not to touch the classics?

The following technologies were used:

• Ffmpeg
• ESRGAN
• Gigapixel ai

And now a little about how this was done, because we are on} {abre.

We look at the available formats on YouTube. We

youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ИДЕНТИФИКАТОР

download the necessary formats (audio and video). We

youtube-dl -f 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ИДЕНТИФИКАТОР

check the file frame rate.

ffprobe -v error -select_streams v -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 -show_entries stream=r_frame_rate input.mp4

Storyboard

ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -start_number 0 -vf fps=25 "convert/capture-%002d.png"

Next, the standard procedure for increasing frames using a neural network.

Bonding from png + audio

• without permission - ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i convert/capture-%002d.png -vb 20M -i audio.webm -vcodec mpeg4 -y "ffmpegtest.mp4"
• with preset resolution - ffmpeg -framerate 25 -s 900x720 -i convert/capture-%002d.png -vb 20M -i audio.webm -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 23 -y "ffmpegtest3.mp4"
