1. Introduction

Image AI Enhancer is a open source application made in Python and Glade (GUI). The program allows you to select a .png or .jpg image file, convert it, and view both the original image and the enhanced image next to each other. The conversion process uses the DeepAI API where four processes take place:

  1. Colorization
  2. Super Resolution
  3. Neural Talk
  4. Waifu2x

The output file can then be saved in the desired directory with a filename of user's choice.
