Bigger Picture
BiggerPicture uses machine-learning methods to increase the resolution of photos and line-art images without causing pixelation or blurs. The tool enables users to create retina-display images from normal-resolution versions, create printable logos sourced from web graphics, or preprocess vintage cameraphone photographs in preparation for photo-printing. Unlike most graphic packages that uses bicubic interpolation or Lanzcos resampling, the deep-learning methods employed by BiggerPicture recognizes shapes and textures and is able to fill the gaps by hallucinating new pixels based on its training data. BiggerPicture takes advantage of Apple’s Core ML libraries to make optimum use of the user’s machine capabilities.
