Researchers from NVIDIA, Aalto University, and MIT have developed an AI that can remove noise from grainy photos and automatically enhance them. This technology can be beneficial in several real-world situations where it is difficult to obtain clear image data like MRI scans, astronomical imaging, and more.

Existing noise-reduction AI systems require both noisy and clean input images, but NVIDIA’s AI can restore images without being shown what the noise-free image looks like. It just needs to look at examples of corrupted images. The researchers trained the AI on 50,000 images and the deep-learning algorithm was able to produce impressive results. Check them out below.
