A Scanner Darkly - Autoencoded: trailer - side by side comparison

The film A Scanner Darkly (2006) reconstructed frame by frame using a type of artificial neural network called an autoencoder. This is a side by side comparison of the trailer. The autoencoder was trained to reconstruct the individual frames from the film using the learned similarity architecture proposed by Larsen et al. http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.09300. After being trained on the whole film for 6 epochs, each frame was then reconstructed using the autoencoder and resequenced into a video. A Scanner Darkly (2006) is copyright Warner Independent Pictures. Read more about the project in my medium piece: http://medium.com/@Terrybroad/autoencoding-blade-runner-88941213abbe#.ndgb0hpxz
