An online tool has been released(推出）which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).
Colourisation(上色）of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.
＂The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," the tool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate（精确的）representation of the original photo in time."
The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.
Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.
The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.
Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.
“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.
8. How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?
A. By learning from people in Singapore.
B. By presenting old photos correctly.
C. By editing original colors on the photos.
D. By making a guess based on a data-set.
9. According to the passage,GauGAN can
A. colourise black and white photos accurately
B. employ deep learning to create works of art
C. make Tech firm NVIDIA known to people
D. turn rough drawings into realistic pictures
10. The passage is mainly about
A. the colourisation of old pictures
B. the technology of machine learning
C. picture editing tools powered by AI
D. simple lines changed into photos
11. The passage is most probably a
A. science report B. technology review
C. research plan D. laboratory record
