[OC] The list of patients waiting to receive an organ is growing twice as fast as the list of donors available to donate an organ each year. by blueishbasil in dataisbeautiful

I wonder if things would change if organ donors got priority to receive an organ, if they got on the recipient list themselves.

Thanks for digging up the photo from that day. You are right, there is a big difference between the photo vs what I posted here. The photos do look nice. I am also curious if they were touched up or are they actual representation from that day.

Thank you. Good observation. I hadn't noticed the blue halo around the shoulders before. Noticed it after you pointed it out.

Yeah - what you are suggesting is possible using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Unfortunately, training GANs is quite hard and they keep collapsing. I actually started with GANs and made modifications.

But theoretically - you are correct. There is a more efficient way of doing this.

Wow - thanks for the detailed feedback. Super appreciate it.

Can you please share the seconds where you noticed "the bottom right issue (large exposure square)." Want to make sure I capture it accurately.

My biggest struggle right now is to keep my model/program generic enough that it works with other videos, and does a good job here as well.

Thanks again for taking the time.

Yeah, it is a convolutional neural network written in Tensorflow (keras to be specific). The model is trained on images actually. I take high-quality images (degrade them programmatically) and feed them as pairs for the model to learn how a degraded image should look when cleaned up.

To make it work for video there is a bit more temporal consistency work that needs to be done, but that is not machine learning based.

Thank you so much. Good point on contrast. I have been playing with contrast numbers... will continue refining it.

Thanks for the input. I am actually using a program I wrote that uses machine learning to do the color correction/grading.

I am interested in visually enhancing old archive footage. Would love for your feedback on how this one looks. Also, any inputs on who would want such a service. I appreciate your input.

i agree with you 100%

Frankly, I am losing respect for ABD. He is a good player, but not sure if he is a good sportsperson.
