yup, to certain point! there are information theoretic limits though. You can fill in information, but there will be biases to a certain point. in this case defined by the dataset. if the "enhance" is too strong, we should be careful with what we do with the results in forensics.

but man, it can make your internet pics look smooth! :) thanks for the comment!

If you have multiple images of the same scene (for example, from video frames), you should be able to use information across frames for a true enhancement?
Yes, and it's almost ridiculous how well that can work:

;) sshh! don't say that too loud yet. but, remember our names...
So you're saying this could be useful for stereo imagery and video? ;- )
This (overenhancement) was a minor plot point in Crichton's novel Congo, IIRC.
