Image Optimization Using Machine Learning - DZone AI

The craze of deep learning has brought about many challenges to the information status quo. For some use cases, its success makes sense and seems inevitable. For others, like image processing, its bid to outshine hardened algorithms in compression and optimization seemed harder to predict, begging the question of what feats of computer engineering are safe from its grasp. Today, we will only look at the ways machine learning is changing how we store, create, and optimize images, but every corner of information science is seeing similar confrontations by deep learning. Last year, Google released RAISR, an algorithm combining traditional upsampling with deep learning in order to turn low-resolution images into convincing high-resolution counterparts.
