Neural Nets And Game Boy Cameras
Released in 1998, the Game Boy camera was perhaps the first digital camera many young hackers got their hands on. Around the time Sony Mavica cameras were shoving VGA resolution pictures onto floppy drives, the Game Boy camera was snapping 256 224 resolution pictures and displaying them on a 190 144 resolution display. The picture quality was terrible, but [Roland Meertens] recently had an idea. Why not use neural networks to turn these Game Boy Camera pictures into photorealistic images? Neural networks, deep learning, machine learning, or whatever other buzzwords we're using require training data.
