Adobe Sensei is the company’s artificial intelligence and machine learning framework that’s already powering part of its online photo-matching services, but it wants it to help simplify image processing, too. Similar technologies, like Google’s Deep Dream, have already melted our brains with over-processed imagery reminiscent of a bad drug trip, but as a new teaser video demonstrates, Adobe seems to think the same tech could make apps as powerful as Photoshop.
Last July, we got a glimpse of a new image processing algorithm developed by researchers at Princeton University and Adobe Research that can correct the distortions and warping created when a selfie is taken just a few feet from a smartphone camera’s lens. It looks like Adobe has incorporated this research into the mystery app demonstrated in the above video.
It also features other research we’ve seen, including applying another photo’s colors and style to your own, and even automatically removing a subject from the background to create a subtle depth of field effect, or swapping out the background altogether.
