Description
Many traditional image and video processing tasks have been revolutionized by the advent of artificial intelligence, paving the way to several promising research directions. Deep neural networks can provide state-of-the-art solutions to inverse problems like deconvolution, denoising, image restoration, image reconstruction, and image super-resolution. Deep architectures like autoencoders can be applied to image and video compression, with unprecedented results in terms of rate-distortion performance. Advanced generative models can be used to produce very realistic synthetic media, which can be used to enable digital twins or enhance existing datasets. On the other hand, the facility with which images and videos can be altered or even synthetically generated by AI stimulates research on innovative forensic tools for verifying the origin and integrity of multimedia.
