Dancing during the Battle of Britain | AI Colorized 1940 Film [ 60 fps]

A group of English factory girls go to a dance during the Second World War.
This poignant IWM clip has been AI enhanced using Deep Learning techniques.

Thousands of women joined auxiliary forces such as the WAAF, the ATS, Land girls, ATA and the long forgotten Women's Voluntary Service (WVS) during World War Two.
During the Blitz, there was still time for romance for these young women.

Restored to 4k 60 fps clarity using Neural networks.

The Deep Learning Restoration Process:

Some of the deep learning AI machines like Dain, and DeOldify are freely available from the Github community, if you are prepared to learn how to use Google Colab.You can also try the DainApp for desktop, but will need a computer with a good graphics card, and lots of patience.

This was the process I followed:

1. Removed artifacts and noise.
2. Interpolated new frames ( from 24 to 60fps) using the DainApp, to add depth awareness
3. Upscaled the original 480p film to 4K resolution using Topaz Video Enhance AI and Vidcoder.
4. Added neural color using Deoldify
