Two Minute Papers: Creating Photographs Using Deep Learning | Two Minute Papers #13
Machine learning techniques such as deep learning artificial neural networks had proven to be extremely useful for a variety of tasks that were previously deemed very difficult, or even impossible to solve. In this work, a deep learning technique is used to learn how different light source positions affect a scene and create (“guess”) new photographs with unknown light source positions. The results are absolutely stunning. The promised links for artificial neural networks follow below.
