AI video restoration bounty: $500+ for classic Chinese TV series
Reddit user offers $500+ for improved AI upscaling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
A Reddit user on r/artificial is offering a paid opportunity for AI video restoration experts. The project involves restoring 'San Guo Yan Yi' (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), a classic Chinese TV series. The user provides a 140-second test clip that was previously badly upscaled (not by them) and shows severe artifacts like purple fringing and dark edges around candle flames. They have a baseline restoration but believe it can be improved further.
Interested parties must process the test clip and present a demo. The workflow can use any combination of separate applications or AI models. Key requirements include enhancing general background details, facial details, subtitle/text quality, and specifically cleaning up purple fringing and dark edges. The offer starts at $500 USD, with negotiable pricing if the workflow significantly outperforms the baseline. The user has shared comparison images and artifacts examples to guide the work.
