Picture Perfect: AI-Powered Photo Enhancement Coming to a Smartphone Near You
- visarga 10y agoSo, they are doing some sort of picture processing (probably a CNN) in the cloud and based on it apply a variety of filters locally, on the phone. That means they don't have to run the processing again for every adjustment. It's a nice idea, but isn't it already becoming crowded in this app segment?
- jawns 10y agoSounds (and looks) very similar to what the Prisma app does: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neuralprisma&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neuralpris... In fact, the "Dystopia" filter in PicsArt Magic Effects appears to be based on the same artwork as the "Transverse Line" artwork in Prisma.
- semi-extrinsic 10y ago"Prisma is over capacity. There are too many people using Prisma now, please try again later." First time I've seen an app get slashdotted. (HNed doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?)
- vosper 10y agoI don't think that's the HN effect: Prisma is pretty popular and has been prominently featured on news sites over the past few months. I've run into this message a few times (it's a really cool app)
- imaginenore 10y agoI can't imagine how Prisma is still alive. It must be ridiculously expensive to run. All the neural style transfer algorithm calculations multiplied by 10-50 million installs is quite insane.
- vosper 10y agoYeah, I've wondered that too - unless I'm mistaken it's all done server-side, and they're not able to offload compute to the phone.
- imaginenore 10y agoAll of the examples look like someone just installed Photoshop and applied random filters, totally destroying the original, and making it look like cr@p. Enhancement it is not.
