This AI can color and fix old videos (video)

This AI can color and fix old videos (video)

Old videos are not of the best quality, they have a lot of noise and ambiguity, and with all that, they have no color.

Luckily, artificial intelligence has advanced enough that repairing those videos is now possible.

Interesting: try the free AI tool that very accurately colors black and white images.

The paper dealing with this problem shows how AI successfully restores contrast, and clarity and removes flicker from old videos.

On top of all that, with just 6 reference images, the AI ​​adds color to the video almost without a mistake!

In the video above, in the upper left corner, there is the original video, and in the very lower right corner, there is an improved video.

Satoshi Iizuka and Edgar Simo-Serra, co-authors of this paper, explained that this model (Temporal Neural Network) aims to perform multiple operations on the video:

Remastering old movies involve a variety of sub-tasks including super-resolution, noise reduction, and contrast correction, which restores worn-out images to their original appearance. In addition, due to technological limitations at the time, most films were shot either in black and white or in very poor color, which is why colorization is necessary. 

So far, this technique has not found commercial application, but it would be entirely expected that large film industries, such as Hollywood, will use AI as an aid soon.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.
