Artificial Intelligence is breaking new barriers.

Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can create a high-definition version of a low-resolution image.

Technology to create a large-sized image from a low-resolution image is known as single-image super-resolution (SISR) technology. The software adds extra pixels and averages them with the surrounding pixels, but the result is blurriness.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Intelligent Systems in Germany proposed a new approach to give images a realistic texture when magnified from small to large using machine learning.

The team applied artificial intelligence and an adaptive algorithm for upsampling the image learns from experience to improve the result.
