[Explanation] Black-and-white movies, black-and-white photos, through the restoration of modern AI technology, can "look like new" and achieve better viewing effects.

This technology is exactly the project developed by a "post-00" entrepreneurial team at Xidian University. At present, the team has repaired the image quality and color of more than 30 old movies.

　　Combining the knowledge we have learned, what our profession wants to do for this historical image of our country, I wonder if we can carry out a super-resolution or a color restoration such as this, so that more People, people of all ages can like our classic movie and TV series.

　　[Explanation] According to reports, the entrepreneurial team was established in 2019, and the team brought together 10 students majoring in artificial intelligence and network information.

Zhou Meihong said that everyone used their professional advantages to build a model database, allowing AI to learn a lot of black and white and color film and television materials, and infer the color to be repaired from the known colors, so as to complete the film or photo repair work.

　　Our repair is currently using a machine learning technology, which is a basic technology of artificial intelligence. For example, we use algorithms to make the old through new videos, and train AI to learn the transformation relationship between the old video and the new video. Repaired.

Our repair includes several major functions. The first is to remove the dirty points and noise of the video, the second is to improve the image quality of low-definition video in high definition, and the last is to color the video.

　　【Explanation】Through repeated technical iterative optimization, from Chaplin’s "City Light" to "Modern Times", from "Roman Holiday" to "Little Soldier Zhangga", from "Yuguang Song" to "Never Gone" "Radio Wave" and other "mottled" works, after AI restoration, are intact.

　　In order to better "incubate" college students' innovation and entrepreneurship, Xidian University established the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in 2016, aiming to transform the school's talent and technological advantages into industrial and economic advantages.

It is understood that the team has already connected with the Xi'an Film Studio and other units through the way of "building the stage" of the school, and will carry out school-enterprise cooperation.

So to be specific, we set up projects based on the needs of the industry. The needs of the market come from real projects. The real needs of the market have solved the pain points of users. We are based on our students’ professional education, The improvement of professional ability and technical ability will transform our students' professional education into this kind of product, and then turn our product into a commodity for marketization.
