One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing deinterlacing. The technique includes separating a first interlaced video frame into a first sequence of fields ordered by time, the first sequence of fields including a first field. The technique also includes generating, by applying a deinterlacing network to a first field in the first sequence, a second field that is missing from the first sequence of fields and is complementary to the first field. The technique further includes constructing a progressive video frame based on the first field and the second field.

Deinterlacing via deep learning

According to one implementation, an image enhancement system includes a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code configured to provide a normalizing flow based generative model trained using an objective function. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an input image, transform the input image to a latent space representation of the input image using the normalizing flow based generative model, and perform an optimization of the latent space representation of the input image to identify an enhanced latent space representation of the input image. The software code then uses the normalizing flow based generative model to reverse transform the enhanced latent space representation of the input image to an enhanced image corresponding to the input image.
