Yea, that is the real worry with this technology. You'll be able to zoom in on a blurry image of speeding car taken at night and get a perfectly clear license plate, but there is no way to guarantee that it is the correct license plate that was actually photographed. It'll just be the most 'probable' license plate based on some inscrutable probability distribution that is locked inside black box that even the developer of the software cannot explain. I fear explaining that to a jury could be really hard.


Have you seen the leading upscalers? Things like Topaz Gigapixel are doing basically this.
