| In a recent blog post, Facebook announced they have open-sourced DeepFocus, an AI powered framework for improving focus on close objects. This technology ensures nearby objects are in-focus, while distant objects appear out of focus, much like cinematic experiences. DeepFocus takes advantage of an end-to-end convolutional neural network that produces an accurate retinal blur in near real-time. (News) |
