Google claims to have invented the "limitless CSI-style zoom"
-
You have probably seen at least one of those videos where some high-tech crime unit obtains a blurry, tiny image of some bad guy from a surveillance camera, and then effortlessly "zoom in" until they got a perfect portrait image out of a few pixels.
Well, seems that Google just claimed to have invented such technology.
But don't let the images fool you: "Deep neural networks" have already been shown to be easily fooled when classifying pictures, and I dont's see why a tool like the great Ostrichinator could not just as easily fool Google's "guessing zoom" to derive the picture of some arbitrary person from just any seemingly innocent 8x8 pixel sample.
