AI turns blurry, unrecognizable face pictures into the perfect selfie that is times 60 sharper

Researchers have designed an AI-powered tool that transforms a blurry portrait into the perfect selfie. The method, called PULSE, searches through AI-generated examples of high-resolution faces to match ones that look similar to the input image when compressed to the same size. The system is capable of converting a 16x16-pixel image of a face to 1024 x 1024 pixels in a few seconds, which is 64 times the resolution. The method, called PULSE, searches through AI-generated examples of high-resolution faces to match ones that look similar to the input image when compressed to the same size. Duke University computer scientist Cynthia Rudin, who led the team, said: 'Never have super-resolution images been created at this resolution before with this much detail.'
