AI Can Edit Photos With Zero Experience Weizmann USA

Imagine showing a photo taken through a storefront window to someone who has never opened her eyes before, and asking her to point to what's in the reflection and what's in the store. To her, everything in the photo would just be a big jumble. Computers can perform image separations, but to do it well, they typically require handcrafted rules or many, many explicit demonstrations: here's an image, and here are its component parts. New research finds that a machine-learning algorithm given just one image can discover patterns that allow it to separate the parts you want from the parts you don't. The multi-purpose method might someday benefit any area where computer vision is used, including forensics, wildlife observation, and artistic photo enhancement.
