Now days machine learning, deep learning, neural networks and is getting popular. There are some projects out there that uses machine learning to do super resolution (enhance the resolution of an image), so I thought experimenting one of them with tibia graphics to enhance graphics from sprites 32x32 to 64x64.
In short, look at the screenshots:
Original

Scaled (this is how you would see in your client)

Enhanced (this is how you see with the super resolution algorithm)

If you compare the enhanced image with the scaled one you will see that the enhanced is more sharp and less blurred. But what you people from otland think? Do you think it an improvement or not? Comment o the thread.
How this was done?
I used the waifu2x project, it is on github, you can go to the URL http://waifu2x.udp.jp/index.html and upload any image and increase it resolution up to 2x. That project was originally trained enhancing anime images, however I think it worked quite well with tibia graphics, maybe if we trained with tibia graphics could have even better results.
If you want to try your tibia screenshots it is important that you disable antialising (don't shrink game window option in tibia I think) and the game image will have the size of exactly 480x352. If anyone find it interesting upload your experiments here.
With this we could enhance the otserv graphics to 64x64.
