Upscaling & Resolution Enhancement for Insurance & Claims
What upscaling & resolution enhancement does for insurance & claims footage, when it helps, and how BetterVideo's API applies it to the real capture.
🔒 Footage deleted on your schedule — with a certificate to prove it
- Adjusters need to read damage detail — cracks, water lines, VINs — that poor footage hides.
- Claimant footage is personal data; keeping it around indefinitely is a liability.
- Volume is high and per-claim — you need it programmatic, not a desktop app.
Where upscaling & resolution enhancement helps
Claim clips are shot at low phone resolution and cropped tight. Real-ESRGAN super-resolution does two things at once here: it enlarges the frame to 1080p or 4K and recovers fine detail that low-res capture and compression had blurred — a serial number, a crack in a windshield, the texture of damage. BetterVideo enhances the real capture; for evidence use, the enhanced version supplements rather than replaces the original.
How BetterVideo does it
BetterVideo applies upscaling & resolution enhancement through one REST call — Real-ESRGAN super-resolution enlarges to 1080p or 4K and recovers detail a low-res source lost — and for insurance & claims, brightens and sharpens dark, shaky claim clips so an adjuster can read the damage — per second, per claim — then deletes them on your schedule.
Common questions
Can it make small detail in a claim readable?
Often, yes — enlarging and recovering detail together let an adjuster read detail that was too small or too soft before.
Is this upscaling or resolution enhancement?
Both — they're one Real-ESRGAN pass. It increases the output size and reconstructs detail obscured by low resolution and compression at the same time.
Does it change the evidence?
It enhances the real footage; because super-resolution reconstructs plausible detail, treat the enhanced version as a supplement to, not a replacement for, the original.
