NVIDIA Develops AI That Can Remove Noise, Grain, And Even Watermarks From Photos
Researchers from NVIDIA, Aalto University, and MIT have developed an AI that can remove noise from grainy photos and automatically enhance them. This technology can be beneficial in several real-world situations where it is difficult to obtain clear image data like MRI scans, astronomical imaging, and more.
Existing noise-reduction AI systems require both noisy and clean input images, but NVIDIA’s AI can restore images without being shown what the noise-free image looks like. It just needs to look at examples of corrupted images. The researchers trained the AI on 50,000 images and the deep-learning algorithm was able to produce impressive results. Check them out below.
