## Description

TecoGAN is a generative adversarial network designed for video super-resolution. It functions as a spatio-temporal video upscaler that increases the resolution of video sequences while reconstructing high-quality imagery from lower-resolution inputs.

The system utilizes a temporal coherence framework to ensure visual stability and reduce flickering in generated frames. It achieves this by employing spatio-temporal discriminators that evaluate both individual frame quality and movement consistency.

The project covers the training and optimization of generative adversarial networks, specifically focusing on high-resolution video reconstruction and the maintenance of temporal coherence across frames.
