NVIDIA AI scrubs noise and watermarks from digital images

NVIDIA researchers are back with yet another digital image technology that pushes the limits of traditional image manipulation. Unlike Adobe's recently disclosed project, which involved a neural network trained to spot digitally altered images, NVIDIA's newest creation can scrub digital sensor noise and watermarks from digital images. Thanks to the artificial intelligence powering it, the feature is far more effective than existing denoising tools. Digital camera sensor noise, though not as severe as it once was, is still common from consumer-tier cameras, particularly smartphone cameras in low-light conditions. This is due to the small sensor size used in these cameras, making post-processing necessary to increase image quality.
