The “Spring Festival Transport” has begun, and the moment of reunion is coming. Time will leave mottled marks on photos. The “Photo HD Repair” function launched and optimized by Hehe Information’s Scan Almighty King can use AI technology to “reappear” the good memories of yesterday.
Previously, professional image processing software was the first choice for photo restoration, but the operation process was more complicated and required higher professionalism. Users need to manually find damaged spots in old photos for point-to-point processing. When depicting edge details such as hair and contour lines, it is not only necessary to switch multiple sets of filters and layers to blur and connect photo creases and damaged places, but also to call “stamp”, “pen” and other operating tools in the software , the whole process is relatively complicated for the general public, and the operating threshold is relatively high.
Intelligent image processing products make the high-definition restoration of old photos a “people-friendly” function within reach. Use Scan Almighty to take pictures of old photos and upload them, and a picture can be repaired in less than 3 seconds.
Intelligent image processing technology writes “color memory”
Traditional restoration software generally has problems such as low restoration accuracy, loss of face details, long processing time, and unnatural color tones. Hehe Information’s intelligent image processing technology can restore the details and colors of the indoor and outdoor environments in the photos on the basis of repairing the damage, scratches and creases of the old photos.
Photo restoration requires an intelligent “staining” process. The original photo can be divided into two types, one is the original black and white photo, which needs to be recolored; the other is the color photo with fading and color shift, which needs to be corrected. Hehe Information trains the classified neural network, uses AI algorithm to study and judge the coloring requirements of the photo area, and “deduces” the filling color that fits the reality.

Portrait restoration, with “beauty” and details
Limited by shooting technology and photographic equipment, old photos involving portraits often have low-quality problems such as blurring, out-of-focus, and compression. The first step in high-precision restoration is the precise identification of biological facial features. Intelligent image processing technology can identify the face area, accurately locate the facial features area and skin area, remove various degeneration conditions in the facial features area and skin area, and increase facial details on the basis of retaining the identity characteristics of the portrait.

“The restoration of portrait photos is essentially a ‘beautification’ process. We need to use AI to distinguish the facial features and skin areas from the entire face, because the skin needs special treatment such as whitening, but applying it to the facial features may make people lose The loss of some detail features.” The relevant technical personnel of Hehe Information said that compared with the traditional face restoration technology, Hehe Information’s intelligent image processing makes the restoration effect real and natural because of the meticulous preservation of face details. In the repair process, by adopting deep neural network technology, the overall repair speed is faster, the efficiency is higher, and the effect is better.
