US Patent 10582205 Enhancing visual data using strided convolutions

A method for enhancing at least a section of lower-quality visual data using a hierarchical algorithm, the method comprises receiving at least one section of lower-quality visual data; and extracting a subset of features, from the at least one section of lower-quality visual data. A plurality of layers of reduced-dimension visual data from the extracted features are formed and enhanced to form at least one section of higher-quality visual data. The at least one section of higher-quality visual data corresponds to the at least one section of lower-quality visual data received.
