'Blade Runner' AI that can make grainy images razor sharp

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Researchers have unveiled a Blade Runner-style AI that can enhance pixelated images. Dubbed EnhanceNet, the system relies on neural networks to boost the image quality, creating high-resolution images from a low-resolution input. Stunning results shared in the study reveal how the new method can create sharper, more detailed results than traditional approaches, leading to photos that are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. The system uses adversarial training, which pits the networks against each other in competing goals so they ultimately learn together. 'By using feed-forward fully convolutional neural networks in an adversarial training setting, we achieve a significant boost in image quality at high magnification ratios,' the researchers explain in the study.
