New AI-driven Sharpening and Enhancement in VIVA 4.6.3.2
In Viva 4.6.3.2, we are introducing new sharpening and enhancement tools based on powerful AI-based algorithms and multiresolution approach. Cleverly combined with grain management, dust/dirt/noise/scratches removal, it perfectly works for post-production and film restoration. This new technology gives archivists important new opportunities in delivering historically accurate restorations, while also meeting the demand for high quality, […]
Professional enthusiasts share their recent restorations with VIVA
Viva software automation allows not only studios to carry out large prestigious restoration projects, but also professional people. We are proud to present such passionate professionals and their recent restoration work done with Viva: Gerhard Bauer, Professor of Hematology / Oncology, School of Medicine, University of California, Davis restored a unique nitrate print of a […]
Our AI-driven Approach in Press
“Software suites like Viva could have, say, separate professional and home-movie automatic-restoration tracks. The latter would leave archivists to adjust anything they might like to, while the former would be more automated so that the home user would have little to do other than press that “one button.” – Peter Monaghan. “How Machines Restore Archival […]
How Recent ‘AI’ Breakthroughs Are Transforming Moving Image Restoration
Two years ago we presented the early results of applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to image restoration. We showed the results that preliminary forms of AI could deliver in automatically detecting and removing scratches. Since then, there has been steady stream of major breakthroughs in AI that have enabled some truly transformational new capabilities […]
New Post-Production Tools for Backlight Flicker Removal
Flicker happens both in the old cinema and in the era of modern cameras. Viva easily eliminates flicker on old films. But when the flicker can be caused by certain combinations of unsynchronized light sources, electricity and cameras, so called “backlight flicker”, which are usually used for recording concerts or slow motion, then there are […]
High-quality AI-based Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing
In Viva 4.4.8.0, we present another new feature based on the new AI algorithm for high-quality de-interlace conversion. This feature is included in the professional license of VivaPro, and not in VivaAuto /Lite.
Temporal Frame Interpolation/Extrapolation, Missed frames generating, Splices/Big dirt removal in VIVA 4.4.5.0
In Viva 4.4.5.0, we introduce new features based on a new AI-based algorithm for generating an interpolation frame (an intermediate frame located in the middle of the time interval between 2 frames): 1. Generating intermediate frames for a sequence of frames producing a new sequence which can be used either for the effect of “slow […]
Deep Learning Meets Big Film Archives at The Reel Thing
Find out how the new ALGOSOFT Technology was presented at The Reel Thing 2017, in Los Angeles, August 24-26, from ENTERTAINMENT TECHNOLOGY CENTER: http://www.etcentric.org/new-software-tackles-scratch-removal-for-film-restoration/ Full version of the presentation:
Neural Network Learns to Remove Scratches from Still and Moving Images.
Algosoft has launched new Viva 4.4.1.0 with a new AI generation of DeScratch tool based on Neural Network. Scratch removal is traditionally the most difficult and tricky technique, due to the scratches variability and their similarity to vertical structures in the background and/or other objects. For the first time, Neural Networks were applied to create […]
New One Button – One Pass Restoration
A year ago, we demonstrated a major breakthrough that enabled our image processing algorithms to do the fine-tuning themselves, and completely automatically. In most cases, those advanced reduced complicated digital film restoration processes to the click of a single button. But behind this click there were four or more successive passes of processing. The restorations […]
NBC Universal Partnership
We are proud to announce that NBC Universal started Viva licence partnership from June 2016.
KOFA purchased VivaPro
Algosoft Tech, a leading supplier of automatic software solutions for the film and video industries, announces that the Korean Film Archive (KOFA) purchased VivaPro software recently and has begun using it for their restoration work. Algosoft Viva technology is very important to motion picture archives because up until now, digital restoration has only been practical […]
