Deepin Launches AI Image Plugin: One-Click for 8 Image Processing Effects

2024-01-04

Deepin, the official operating system, recently released a "See Image AI Plugin" that allows users to experience 8 AI photo editing functions on their devices after installation: - Image Colorization: Automatically adds color to black and white or monochrome images. - Resolution Enhancement: Increases the pixel density of images to make details clearer and more realistic. - Background Blur: Reduces the clarity of the image background to make the subject stand out. - Background Removal: Removes the image background to isolate the subject or replace it with a new background. - Hand-drawn Comics: Converts real images into hand-drawn comic style. - 2D Comics: Transforms real images into 2D comic style. - 3D Comics: Converts real images into 3D comic style. - Sketch: Transforms real images into sketch style. According to the official announcement, the "See Image AI Plugin" uses the DCT-Net (Domain-Calibrated Translation) model for style conversion. It claims to generate "high-fidelity, easily scalable" image content using only a "small amount of style data samples". In terms of "image resolution enhancement", the plugin is based on the Real-ESRGAN algorithm, which simulates "realistic complex degradation" through "multiple degradation iterations". It claims to achieve better results in low-resolution scenarios compared to traditional simple sampling. For "image colorization", the development team has introduced the SOTA (State-of-the-Art) image colorization algorithm, which can quickly convert black and white images into color images. It is reported that the "See Image AI Plugin" is now available on the Deepin operating system's "App Store". Users can also install it directly using traditional commands: sudo apt install imageenhance
