Koyaanisqatsi Autoencoded Through Blade Runner - side by side comparison HD

The film Koyaanisqatsi (1982) reconstructed frame by frame using a type of artificial neural network called an autoencoder that has been trained to reconstruct Blade Runner (1982). This is a side by side comparison of a 15 minute sample. 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.
