What is Waifu2X free artificial intelligence for pictures video tutorial about
In this video tutorial (Waifu2X free artificial intelligence for pictures) I present to you the Waifu2X application, which is capable, through the processing assisted by artificial intelligence, to increase the quality for images, videos, gifs and anime.
Waifu2X , a free AI-based processing application
Waifu2x is an atypical app. It doesn't offer the simplicity that other apps display, but it does the job well.
The interface, at first glance, is quite busy. The settings are intimidating, but after a while you get used to it.
What is artificial intelligence?
It's hard to sum up in a single sentence what exactly artificial intelligence is.
There are several categories or rather levels of AI. or more precisely, they are directions of development, which are not necessarily separate and whose purpose is to unite in the end like a puzzle.
Machine learning
This is the simplest type of AI, or rather a type of AI behavior. This is exactly what we have in this tutorial. Basically, we have a computer that accumulates information and learns certain patterns from that information, which it then applies as programmed.
Deep Learning
Here the AI is just like a child, learning, making mistakes, picking up, etc. This Deep learning is copied from human development and imitates a person as much as possible. The only difference is the speed. Man needs decades to become mature and productive. An AI with enough processing power can become an "adult" in seconds
Natural language processing
Here, a digital entity (software) learns to speak, hold dialogues, mimic emotions in speech, etc. At the present time, the AI managed to pass the Turing test, where a human is not able to tell if he is talking to a human or to the AI.
Computer Vision
Everything related to image, object recognition, recognition of gait mechanics. Combined with machine learning and deep learning, it becomes what we see in China now.
Computer vision is the type that manages warehouses and parcel triage areas. Also with computer vision, self pay / checkout without guard will be implanted. Also with computer vision you automatically get a negative rating in China when you cross a red light.
GeneralAI
It is a summation of all the above qualities and others that will be added later, corroborated with all the data from the databases around the world.
This level of AI is the equivalent of the Matrix from the movie of the same name or the Skynet from Terminator.
What exactly does Waifu2x do?
If we have pictures, gifs, anime or older video, with a low resolution, we can use applications assisted by artificial intelligence engines, which can improve the resolution and quality of the content.
As I showed you in the tutorial with video enhancement with AVClabs, now artificial intelligence with its image recognition component, can help us bring the quality of pictures and videos up to date.

About Cristian Cismaru
The program is very interesting, only that it is not free, it is also a trial. Anyway, the tutorials are super cool. Congratulations! I found another software for upscale images, it's 100 dollars verisuaen full but it does a brilliant job. Topaz Gigapixel AI
