Experts at Yandex have developed YandexART software powered by artificial intelligence, enabling the reconstruction of archival video clips and old news broadcasts. Yandex specialists indicated that the use of these technologies would be beneficial for film production companies, museums, and historical documentation efforts.
For example, YandexART software was utilized in the restoration and preservation of video records from the Russian "Mosfilm" studio, as well as the Russian State Archive of film and photo documents, which provided essential materials for preparing the series "The Games" related to the 1980 Olympic Games. YandexART successfully restored the archival videos needed for the mentioned series, adding some details to the footage and enhancing the sharpness and resolution of the images.
According to the available information, Yandex programmers developed YandexART technologies to restore missing elements in images within archival videos without any innovative additions, programming it to convert unclear footage into detailed, high-quality shots.
