Attention Please! Remastering Vintage Films With Temporal Source-Reference Attention Networks medium.com

In the paper DeepRemaster: Temporal Source-Reference Attention Networks for Comprehensive Video Enhancement, the researchers show how their novel approach can bring new life to old films.
The researchers propose using source-reference attention as an attention mechanism, enabling the model to handle user-provided colour reference images.
The model can then choose what reference frames to use when colouring the output frame, and also decide what regions of the reference frames to apply to the output region.
The researchers point out that the source-reference attention mechanism’s demands on system memory can limit processable resolution size.
