Abstract: Systems and methods for proactive and automated pre-transaction verification and authentication of electronic transfers are described. In various examples, transaction details associated with an electronic transfer (e.g., a wire transfer, an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer, a peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer, or a cryptocurrency transfer) are verified and the recipient is authenticated by a transaction verification service associated with an electronic transfer service provider (e.g., a financial institution, a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment system, or a custodial wallet provider) prior to permitting the electronic transfer to proceed. In this manner, electronic transfers are secured against electronic transfer fraud and/or mistaken fund or asset transfers, for example, to an incorrect account (or an incorrect cryptocurrency wallet) by the electronic transfer service provider.

Given a sequence of video frames, a current frame and two or more neighboring frames are processed by a neural-network (NN) feature extraction module, followed by a NN upscaling module, and a NN reconstruction module. In parallel, the current frame is upscaled using traditional up-sampling to generate an intermediate up-sampled frame. The output of the reconstruction module is added to the intermediate up-sampled frame to generate an output frame. Additional traditional up-sampling may be performed on the output frame to match the desired up-scaling factor, beyond the up-scaling factor for which the neural network was trained.
