Deep learning is a game changer for image processing (that should be fairly obvious to anyone reading HN). It still requires a lot of expertise to use, but it's enabling people to do things that were previously extremely difficult or even impossible to achieve.

Would you be up to pointing us at open-source tools with which people can do these things? And a few examples?

  Tensorflow. And the artistic style transfer NN, image sharpening NNs, colorizers, etc.

    Wasn't Tensorflow only usable online, on Google's servers? I am looking for something that is fully independent and 100% runnable on my machines only.

      No. Google has a hosted version of tensorflow, called CloudML, but tensorflow is an open source project that can be run anywhere.

        > that can be run anywhere. as long as you have a Nvidia GPU

        GPU just speeds up training, it isn't required.

        Thank you.

  If you want something a bit more user-friendly than tensorflow to get started, I suggest looking at Keras. It basically a higher-level framework built over Tensorflow (and Theano).
