The Chinese smartphone maker Huawei has just demonstrated its new AI video technology dubbed the ‘AI-powered super-resolution system’ that is capable of turning old videos of 540p resolution into FHD 1080p content in real-time. The company’s latest flagship chipset, the HiSilicon Kirin 9000, comes equipped with the AI system.
Earlier today, the company demonstrated how the new AI system works on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo. The post details Kirin 9000’s AI-powered supersampling technology and how it turns low-quality videos into high definition content.
As an example, Huawei shared an image of a lizard in low resolution, i.e., 540p, with a lot of noise. The algorithm super-sampled the image into a 1080p version offering brighter colors and a higher level of detail. All this was done in real-time.
Another example consisted of a female subject wearing jewelry and traditional clothing.
The post also demonstrated how the AI-powered super-resolution system’ is capable of making text and numbers clear on video which can help to retrieve information from images that have a lot of noise.
The company claims that the new tech works on quality as low as 360p and even 270p as well. Moreover, the system can also detect facial feature and offers partial optimizations for them.
