Computer colorized and improved the quality of video from imperial Russia

The computer, or rather the neural network, colored and improved the quality of the video from imperial Russia. The video shows

Tverskaya street in Moscow a few days before the coronation of Nicholas II.

Improved 1896 video publishedauthor of the YouTube channel Denis Shiryaev. The movie was originally recorded by an employee of the Lumiere Brothers company. Judging by what is captured on the frames, the recording was made a few days before the coronation of Nicholas II. This is evidenced by a ladder with which the workers set flags for the ceremony.

The quality of the video was improved by the ESRGAN neural network. Playback speed increased to 60 frames per second, and the recording deprived of noise, blur and film artifacts. In addition, she became colored. Although, you can see the improved black and white version.
