I'm afraid there's little any algorithm can do if the video you feed it with is that garbage quality, unless it just rebuilds it from scratch using pose estimation etc. but at this point it's just a brand new video.

Have you seen the RTX demo vids? It does seem to defy garbage in garbage out somehow...

When you artificially upscale faces it’s easy to see when it guessed wrong what your face looks like.

I could see live video chat benefiting from you taking a couple close up pictures at the beginning of each chat. Imagine face unlock taking images of your face to later use to deepfake you onto yourself.

ML can do much better than that. It can look at noisy, low resolution video and reconstruct what it would look like on a good camera. Not really an algorithm in the traditional sense.
