We all know how important computer and artificial intelligence technologies are in the movie industry. Today, unique productions can be created with visual effects. However, there was an important shortcoming in the sector. So much so that it was not possible to rejuvenate or age the players. As such, the production companies used different actors when they wanted to show the youth and old age of a character.
The latest news suggests that there will be no need for such a thing anymore. Because Disney, one of the most important names in the cinema world, has developed a special artificial intelligence. This AI could rejuvenate and age a character at an acceptable level. Artificial intelligence, called “FRAN”, seems to bring a brand new breath to the movie industry.
Here is an example of FRAN’s results:
A huge database of thousands of facial images has been created for artificial intelligence developed by Disney Research Studios. Using this database for machine learning purposes, first to age and then rejuvenate, engineers transferred their findings to FRAN. FRAN, on the other hand, gave results by acting on how each part of the face would age instead of directly changing the images. All this resulted in the example you see above.
In fact, there were already artificial intelligences working on the face. However, these artificial intelligences did not give the desired result, especially in videos. Disney Research Studios has overcome one of its biggest challenges. So much so that FRAN delivers the best possible results even when lighting conditions change, making it the best experience for moviegoers. It has already been a matter of curiosity in which movie Disney’s artificial intelligence will be used for the first time.
