AI Portraits: your photos, artwork
Arrive AI Portraits, a FaceApp from MIT, that converts your photos into works of art. The tool is based on neural networks, which in a few seconds can recreate a Renaissance and Baroque painting from an image uploaded to the server.
FaceApp can be said to have created the school. This application has generated a lot of debate lately. This digital touch offering uses ultra-realistic filters to process images using Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Despite being in the midst of a lot of controversy, however, many competitors have emerged, and app stores are replete with it. Some are better than others, but it must be said that what the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has achieved is close to being cultural.
The aforementioned technology center researchers, along with IBM engineers, have created an AA (Artificial Intelligence) capable of reproducing artistic works, with different pictorial styles, from an image uploaded to the server. The name of the website is AI Portraits and has been featured with 45,000 classic portraits. In this database it is possible to imagine a photograph as if it were a Renaissance or Baroque painting, as if it came directly from the hands of Rembrandt, Caravaggio or Titian.
Portraits can "draw" in 4K in real time, the industry's new image standard that achieves high resolution. Like FaceApp, this new service uses a tool called GAN (antagonistic network creators) that is capable of transferring features from one model to another in a very realistic and highly famous way in recent years. "It encourages us to interact with the latest generation of GAN models, in an intuitive and playful way," explains the researchers.
Different
Unlike other AA methods, which have allowed portraits to be developed using an AA, the algorithm is not only dedicated to drawing face with a new style. The train consists of two neural networks. One is known as a "discriminator", designed to learn about portraits of people, while the latter is called "Creator" and is developed to recreate them. With AI Portraits Ars, any user can use GAN models to create a painting where the face lines are completely redrawn.
“The model itself decides which style to use for the portrait. The details and backs of the face help the model to go in style, ”they say. In this way, each entry produces a single portrait. Even more, if you try to process the same image several times, the system will produce different results.
Experts say that when it comes to artistic style, there is a "sudden change of color", but the main features of the treated photograph (location, lighting, expression) do not change. "Beyond changing a photo, AI Portraits Ars creates new shapes," they add.
In terms of privacy, the creators of this tool make sure that images sent and uploaded by users directly from the web page to the servers in the center, but promise that the information will not be used "for any other purpose." Proposals submitted, they emphasize, are immediately eliminated.
Even compared to FaceApp, AI Portraits has no mobile app. Simply access the website, www.aiportraits.com, and upload an image. The server will then display an artwork based on the user's face. It has to be said that detection is pretty good, but if you don't look directly at your face it can cause problems.
There is a similar mobile app, though: AI Portraits Pro. This is a free download. The app can then be used for free for three days, but from then on the user will pay $ 4.99 per month.
