think open source + behind the scenes. the plan is to share code, papers, science, thoughts in the making, research, etc. but all around well defined projects to be pragmatic. if you already like projects like Keras, this may be a nice place to checkout what you can do with it.

yeah, its from less than an hour ago :D We will add the welcome messages and everything else. But please, feel free to introduce yourself in the project that you think is interesting and get a conversation started.

this is supposed to be used in the data processing step. you load your image from jpeg or your video using ffmpeg, enhance the images and then pass it to the next step where color rendering is done. you can do that in the browser or mobile just as fine.

;) sshh! don't say that too loud yet. but, remember our names...

yeah, no AI. Its low level computer vision. There is no implicit understanding of the scene to enhance it here. We show the neural nets several examples of low and high quality images it learns a function that makes the low quality looks more like the high quality.

this may make you feel disappointed now, but in the write up we are also pitching this same module to be used in generative networks and other models that do build an understanding of the scene. Lets see what the community (and ourselves) can do next...

yup, to certain point! there are information theoretic limits though. You can fill in information, but there will be biases to a certain point. in this case defined by the dataset. if the "enhance" is too strong, we should be careful with what we do with the results in forensics.

but man, it can make your internet pics look smooth! :) thanks for the comment!
