AI Upscale Colorize A Day in London 1930s
You’ve seen restored WW2 footage, now check out how artificial intelligence-powered machine learning algorithms upscaled and colorized ‘A Day in London’ footage from the 1930s. First off, the video was boosted to 60 fps before the image resolution got an high definition makeover, thus improving both sharpness as well as brightness of all moving objects.



Unfortunately, the machine learning algorithms are not yet advanced enough to colorize everything to be historically accurate. All the sounds you hear are not original, but rather added for ambiance purposes, while the footage was also denoised, stabililized, as well as deblurred for optimal viewing. One thing we don’t get to see is London Airport, which served as the city’s sole international airport until the post-WW2 era. There were regular flights to Cairo via Paris, while from 1932, you could book trips to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kenya, and even Cape Town.
