Глубокая ностальгия — при помощи нейросетей начали "оживлять" старые фотографии и мемы

Сервис генеалогии MyHeritage с недавних пор запустил новую особенность под названием "Глубокая ностальгия", цель которой — создавать анимацию на основе старых фотографий.

Инструмент работает простым образом — пользователь загружает фото одного или нескольких людей, после чего нейросеть анализирует их и создает анимационный дипфейк. Результат выглядит немного жутко — как ожившие фотоснимки из вселенной "Гарри Поттера".

Инструмент "оживляет" даже очень старые фотографии, и некоторые пользователи откровенно шокированы, что могут увидеть в движении своих предков, хотя их никогда не снимали на видео. Анимации можно посмотреть в твиттере.

Вот лишь некоторые из них:

This is crazy. @myheritage has an AI that animates still photos Harry Potter style. Here’s an old photo of my grandma ~1936. pic.twitter.com/3o76SX5isP

In these days of cultural limbo, bringing the past to life is becoming addictive - it’s the ultimate retro pastime. First Hadi Karimi colourised and made Beethoven 3D. Now he moves! #DeepNostalgia pic.twitter.com/z3jpRoXPD8

This is my grandfather's brother Geoffrey who died in WWII. My aunts tell me they knew him as "Handsome Uncle Geoffrey" and women of his generation generally remembered him with a wistful, misty eye. #DeepNostalgia pic.twitter.com/2ue9kWaPJH

So I wanted to know how the recent #DeepLearning facial animations services do with busts and decided to give that botched Christiano Ronaldo statue a spin. What ensued can only be summarised as #DeepNostalgia --> #DeeplyDisturbed. Sweet dreams! ;) pic.twitter.com/g2J0LV5DAi

So here's some super huge uncanny valley. This is a portrait of Prezarium Shados I did for the Age of Sigmar: Soulbound Starter Set.
