Everypixel Aesthetics uses neural networks to judge quality of your photos

Dunja Djudjic

Stock photo search engine Everypixel is a tool that should make the quest for perfect stock photos easier. But what’s even more interesting is their tool called Everypixel Aesthetics. It uses neural networks to tell you how “awesome” your photo is. According to the developers, this tool sees the beauty of stock photos in the […]

“Reverse Prisma” AI turns paintings into photos and turns winter to summer

John Aldred

Ok, imaging AI is just getting ridiculous now. By now we all know of the Prisma app. It lets you take photos and turn them into images that resemble paintings by artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, etc. A team of reseachers at UC Berkley have come up with a system that does the exact opposite of that. […]

Adobe’s new deep learning tech might make green screen keying obsolete

John Aldred

An Adobe Research paper titled Deep Image Matting, might just put an end to green and blue screen techniques. Adobe collaborated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, to develop a new system based on deep convolution neural networks. This system extracts foreground content from its background accurately and intelligently without any kind of blue […]

Neural network turns your Pixelated, black and white gameboy photos into realistic portraits

John Aldred

Neural networks, deep learning, artificial intelligence, whatever term you prefer seems to be a very hot topic lately. Every couple of weeks there seem to be new developments to show off what it can do. We’ve seen CSI-like enhancements, facial recognition that can see through obscuration, converting 2D to 3D and plenty more. This one, […]

Neural networks can now turn a 2D photo into a surprisingly accurate 3D render

Dunja Djudjic

A detailed and accurate face mapping is a complex task. It requires a series of photos with ideal and consistent lighting from different angles. If you want to capture all the details and imperfections of the face, you need professional lighting and multiple shots. However, a group of researches is on the way of changing […]

Facial recognition systems can identify you even if your face is pixelated

John Aldred

Well, this could be quite the problem for privacy advocates everywhere. In locations such the UK, it could cause even cause legal issues for things like the Data Protection Act. Pixelating faces is used throughout the world to conceal identities on camera. Often it’s to protect their identity. Sometimes they need protection, sometimes they’re caught in the background of […]

Facebook releases image identification software to the public

John Aldred

Facebook has announced that it is releasing three of its main image identification algorithms to the public. It’s not the first time Facebook has opened its research to the public, and it likely won’t be the last. In this particular instance, Facebook say that they hope the work will “rapidly advance the field of machine […]

Your Next Smart Selection Could Be Powered By A Neural Network

Udi Tirosh

Admit it! object masking sucks. It’s not that it is impossible, even the hardest selections and masks can be created with some work (and some methods require less work that others). But, in general, masking is a hard and tedious work. Researchers in the The Chinese University of Hong Kong working with Adobe Research are now […]
