In the old black and white photo, a family of four are huddled together. Although nearly 30% of the face is blurred due to the corrosion of time, the smile outlined in the corner of the mouth can be vaguely seen.
You can imagine how cozy the atmosphere must have been when this photo was taken decades ago.
Xu Yun dragged the photo into the image restoration tool he developed and used a function algorithm to try to repair it.
His eyes were fixed on the screen.
See the page showing the estimated time countdown.
I couldn't help but become nervous inside.
"So many image data sets have been fed in the early stage, so the algorithm should be able to exert its effect."
In the family portrait he chose to test, part of the face was corroded and blurred.
In addition, the pixel level of the camera used to take this old photo does not seem to be very high, and the focus is not clear and the whole body is dizzy. This makes the restoration very difficult. I believe that even if it is handed over to a professional organization to repair it, it will probably cost a lot of money. time.
But the higher the difficulty, the more challenging it becomes.
In this way, you can better test the actual recovery effect of your application.
Let me have some confidence in my heart.
Just as he was muttering to himself, the countdown on the screen finally ended.
The original family photo was displayed again from top to bottom.
Until the complete photo caught his eye, Xu Yun could no longer control his inner excitement.
He stood up suddenly, made a fist with his right hand and bent his elbow to press the pestle hard.
"success!"
Different from the previous blurry and incomplete photos, this family photo seems to have been given life and soul again.
The face of the portrait has been completely repaired, and the extremely real pores can even be seen vaguely.
With the addition of color filling, the whole thing looks just like it was photographed.
And it’s still a high-definition picture.
He was certain that even if it were left to a professional organization, it would never be able to achieve this kind of effect.
Because the images restored through his application have a texture that is extremely close to reality.
After a while, Xu Yun sat down in front of the computer screen again. Although his emotions seemed to have calmed down on the outside, in fact, an extremely shocking storm was rising inside.
A simple program tool developed in just over twenty days has such amazing effects.
So what kind of sensation will it cause in the industry if all the intelligent image restoration technology in your mind is used?
At this moment, he had a clearer understanding of the technology he had obtained.
At the same time, his mind began to become active.
I have new plans for the app I developed.
Initially, he wanted to operate it for free at a loss, so that after the software was released to the Android market, he could complete the advanced task requirements of 100,000 registered users as soon as possible.
After seeing the actual restorative effects of this procedure, he quickly rejected the idea.
If you don't make money, you are a bastard.
For him, there is a real need to use this technology to monetize and improve the situation at home.
He admitted that he did not have the outstanding faith and hard-working spirit like countless pioneer scientific researchers. Continuously exploring new knowledge and seeking truth was the life goal he set for himself, but this must be based on meeting material needs.
After thinking about these things clearly, Xu Yun quickly made a decision, looking at the screen blankly and muttering to himself.
"If the software is set to a paid model, it may raise the user threshold, but with the effect of the image restoration tool, the revenue will definitely be very considerable."
"Besides, the task requirement is only 100,000 registered users, and there is no requirement to pay for it."
Yes.
He decided to list a paid software.
Anyway, as he said, the requirement for advanced tasks on the panel is to reach 100,000 registered users, and it is not emphasized that paying users are required.
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing like a card system vulnerability.
After determining the operating mode of the software, Xu Yun opened a document skillfully.
Type a few words on the keyboard.
Product Pricing.
Since you decide to pay, you must have an appropriate price.
He had previously learned about the domestic image restoration market, and the most common ones were related online stores.
Basically each photo costs tens to hundreds of yuan.
The profits are very high.
The key point is that the restoration effects of the works they posted are not as good as the intelligent restoration of image restoration tools.
It is not difficult to see from the buyer group that users of similar products are positioned as the younger generation with elderly people at home, and are willing to spend money to achieve the photo restoration effects they want.
As Xu Yun knocked out these things, he finally determined the price.
19 yuan each.
"This price may be difficult for ordinary users to accept, but people in need probably won't care."
After completing these preliminary tasks, Xu Yun leaned back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, he only needs to register for certification and submit the software to major Android markets for review and listing.
But after all, it was his first time to develop software by himself, and he was worried that some preparation work was not done well. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that he should find a professional for consultation.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun picked up the mobile phone on the table and called Song Yupeng.
…
…
"You said you developed an APP during this period and plan to put it on the Android market?"
In the boys' dormitory of the School of Computer Science, Song Yupeng sat on the bed with his upper body bare, holding his cell phone and confirming with Xu Yun on the phone again, with an expression on his face that was as weird as possible.
Are all freshmen today so strong?
You have already developed software on your own before school starts. This is a rhythm that is going to heaven!
"Yes, senior brother, I just want to ask you about the precautions related to software release." Song Yupeng listened to the voice coming from the microphone. He was not in a hurry to answer the question, but continued to ask: "Which kind of software are you studying? Computer language, when did you learn it?”
"Those who study by themselves after the college entrance examination only use three commonly used ones." Xu Yun answered truthfully.
The words fell.
There was silence on the other side of the phone.
Song Yupeng kept pressing his left hand down on his chest to regulate the urge in his heart to curse.
It is not new to learn computer languages by yourself after the college entrance examination. He also bought introductory books to study during the summer vacation.
But only three are too much.
Does this sound like human speech?
But whether he should say it or not, he understood Xu Yun somewhat after learning this.
He only taught himself computer languages for more than a month, and he was still doing three at the same time. He didn't think he could learn much.
It is conceivable that the software developed must be extremely simple with only a few lines of code.
However, the results of hard work will inevitably be recognized by others, so it is completely understandable to want to put it on the market, not to mention that he has done this kind of thing before.
I recalled that towards the end of my freshman year, I developed a skirt-blowing game. I was so happy after it was successfully launched on the Android market.
However, it was reported and removed from the shelves within a few days.
After his thoughts turned around, Song Yupeng no longer delayed and immediately told Xu Yun what he knew.
