An application of Russian origin is causing furor among photo enthusiasts with cell … which are few, in these times of phones with megapixel cameras million.
It is called Prisma and jumped to the list of most downloaded applications from the Apple store shortly after its launch in late June. And when this week was removed in beta for Android users, the demand brought down the servers.
Created by a small team working from Moscow, application offers over 30 filters easy use with the potential to transform the most ordinary photos into “works of art”.
Picasso, Van Gogh and Much are some of the artists who inspire filters Prisma.
the particular grace of this app, however, is the fact that use models of artificial neural networks and artificial intelligence to create the effects .
“on the server, we have a three networks of neurons. Each performs a different task,” explained the CEO of Prisma Alexey Moiseenkov the specialized environment TechCrunch.
“Each performs a different task. is based on something similar to extract the style of the artwork and apply it to the photo , plus some tricks to speed up the process. “
Hence, the filters do not operate like those we are used to, “beating image” but the result occurs by the combination of the two sets of data (the image of the user and the filter of art).
BBC asked the Venezuelan photographer based in Paris Andreina Mujica prove that.
“it’s fun. It has an interesting selection of filters, prisms, or rather coatings. It’s like disguising the image of a different coverage, “he says
.” It has a characteristic to emphasize that I liked: once enmascaras image, you can raise or lower the intensity with a touch of the finger ” .
“But it’s not something you would use professionally. Not at all. “
Here at BBC World t omamos some of the photographs that appeared Friday on our cover and we gave them the Prisma treatment.
You leave them in a “before” and “after”.
