On March 25th, Lynk & Co’s new new energy medium-sized SUV Lynk & Co 08 officially debuted in Shanghai. As the first full-array new energy product of the Lynk & Co brand, Lynk & Co 08 fuses technology and design perfectly, crossing the boundary of automotive intelligence and aesthetics, opening a new chapter in Lynk & Co’s design language, and expanding the brand product matrix and market layout. It is an important new energy strategy evolution for Lynk & Co.

Lynk & Co 08 overall appearance

　　Standing on the high ground of the new energy era, Lynk & Co has a new insight into the new generation of home users: they pay attention to quality and freshness, pay attention to multiple car scenarios and the travel experience of each family member, not only have high requirements for the mechanical quality of the vehicle, but also look forward to a new intelligent driving experience. In the face of user needs, Lynk & Co 08 gathers global design forces, explores the critical line between intelligent technology and aesthetic design, and creates infinite possibilities for people, cars and life with cross-border strength, opening up a new frontier of urban antagonistic aesthetics.

　　Smarter the new frontier, cross the border

　　Drawing on the essence of The Next Day concept car design, Lynk & Co 08 is based on the four design elements of Dare to Be Different, Proud of Technology, High-end Advanced, and Abundant Experience as the core. Taking sunrise as inspiration, it presents the urban light and shadow changes from dawn to early morning. With a new attitude ready to go, it inspires the dawn of the era. This reshapes the design concept of smart cars: crossing the boundaries of space, creating the possibility of infinite extension for the space of home; also crossing the boundaries of time, creating the possibility of infinite connection between the current experience and future life for users.

Lynk & Co Design President Stefan Rosén explains Lynk & Co 08

　　Under this concept, Lynk & Co 08 fully considers the life path of the new generation of home users, integrates aesthetic design with user application scenarios, integrates high-end technology elements, and elevates the overall technology tone of the whole car to a new height. This will not only open up the multi-form of user experience, but also bring novel evolutionary directions to Facebook-based car design.

　　Intelligent innovative design, full of details

　　Lynk & Co 08 integrates leading intelligent technology into the design, enabling it to bring powerful functional equipment on the basis of design beauty. In addition, thanks to the 4820/1915/1685mm body size of the vehicle and the 2848mm leapfrog wheelbase, the appearance of Lynk & Co 08 presents a delicate and atmospheric visual look, and also creates a wide interior space for family travel.

　　In appearance, Lynk & Co 08 adopts the newly evolved Daybreak daylight lamp, which is more flat and graphic in shape, reflecting a stronger sense of refinement in the front face. In terms of functionality, its unilateral luminous area can reach 870mm, which not only breaks through the design boundary, but also creates a purer visual impact.

　　In addition, the urban skyline technology belt equipped with Lynk & Co 08 integrates matrix headlights and through-type light strips, and the luminous area through the light strip reaches 940mm, making the front face design more futuristic. And when we wake up the car, it will also be accompanied by lighting effects, bringing users a highly ceremonial interactive experience.

　　The side is also the most brilliant part of Lynk & Co 08. The designer boldly adopted the Flush Door process to make the side windows on the same pure plane, like a smooth lens. The addition of hidden door handles, Yuedong unbounded doors and smart unbounded exterior mirrors perfectly presents the pure and delicate details on the side.

　　Following the core elements of technology pride, Lynk & Co 08 has a semaphore interactive light strip distributed on each side. In addition to displaying the breathing light effect when charging, the user will also flash to welcome the guest when approaching, showing the charm of technology between movements.

　　The tail design of Lynk & Co 08 echoes the front face, and the highly recognizable tail light is upgraded to a live crystal through tail light. During the lighting process, the crystal flows and flashes, like the pulse of life at the beginning of the day, reflecting the sense of energy and not lack of technological elements. At the same time, due to the use of hidden rear wipers, the tail is also more integrated.

　　Scene ingenious construction, zero pressure and comfortable top grid

　　Lynk & Co 08 hopes that the moment users enter the car, they can feel the light line outline and rich technical texture, not only to show the beauty of technology as far as the eye can see, but also to relax the whole body, allowing users to fully immerse themselves in the future imagination of complete pressure relief.

　　Lynk & Co 08 is equipped with a "technology floating island" like a spaceship hovering on the dashboard, with an industry-first 92-inch unbounded AR-HUD and front speakers integrated above. The integrated fusion design makes the entire cockpit like a foreign technology, which is simple and at the same time reflects the beauty of technology. In the central control area, the 15.4-inch ultra-clear full-screen is particularly eye-catching, and the 2.5K clarity brings users an immersive sensory experience.

Lynk & Co 08 Interior Details – Sound and Shadow Smart Trim

　　Taking into account the rich car scenes of all family members, Lynk & Co 08 has set up a wonderful and ingenious space in the car to meet the user’s needs for storage space. The front central integrated minimalist central armrest area minimizes visual redundancy and makes the car more futuristic; the magic-like hidden cup holder has passed a flexible solution for daily use. At the same time, the hidden door clasp, electronic door lock, halo-type surround ambient light and speaker mask integrated sound and shadow smart trim exude a technological design charm, while the hidden electric trend is seamlessly integrated into the cockpit, further strengthening the technological atmosphere in the car.

　　The Lynk & Co 08 provides shallow support seats, and its ingenious ergonomic design can bring the ultimate comfort to the passengers in the car, creating a zero-pressure comfort hall during the journey. At the same time, the immersive comfort main driver not only provides seat heating, ventilation and massage functions, but also has independent headrest speakers, allowing users to enjoy private navigation broadcasts and music without disturbing other family occupants in the car to rest. On the basis of heating, ventilation and massage, the zero-pressure stretch co-pilot also adds leg rest adjustment, which allows the co-pilot occupants to better rest during long-distance driving.

1905 movie network news Directed by Martin Campbell and starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Liu Tao and Liang Peishi, the international action blockbuster is about to dominate the National Day file on September 30 and will land on the global screen one after another. Whether it is the cast or the behind-the-scenes team, the film has gathered the top figures in the Chinese and Western film industries. In addition, as the only Hollywood action blockbuster in this year’s National Day file, "Britain" has attracted much attention from all walks of life due to its excellent international top film texture. The following is a deep analysis of why "Britain" can arouse expectations from ten aspects.

Jackie Chan returns to Hollywood after seven years, shaking the world again after harvesting the golden statuette

Jackie Chan re-entered Hollywood in 1995 and created a Chinese legend by breaking multiple North American box office records. Over the next two decades, Jackie Chan’s films gradually became a popular global label and influenced filmmakers around the world. Many top international directors have looked to Jackie Chan’s films for inspiration. Many new generation of young actors also regard Jackie Chan as a role model and benchmark. In 2016, Jackie Chan won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement and became the first Chinese to win the award.

However, in 2010 and since then, Jackie Chan has filmed a number of Chinese-language films, but apart from the dubbing series, he has never starred in a real Hollywood international blockbuster. The movie "British Showdown" is Jackie Chan’s first international action masterpiece to return to Hollywood. At the same time, "British Showdown" is also Jackie Chan’s first Hollywood action blockbuster after winning the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Jackie Chan once said in an interview: "It’s not that I want to return to Hollywood now, it’s that Hollywood needs me." The outstanding artistic achievements and extraordinary international influence have made Jackie Chan movies synonymous with the best films in the eyes of global audiences.

2. British ace agent Brosnan joins to recreate the king of kung fu versus the king of agents

In the movie "British Showdown", the opponent of Jackie Chan’s decisive battle must also be able to match him. For this reason, director Martin Campbell chose Pierce Brosnan. The two established a good tacit understanding when they worked together, and have worked on many films since then. This time, the old partner has been restructured again for "British Showdown". For fans around the world, Brosnan’s name can be said to be well-heard. He succeeded Timothy Dutton as the fifth 007. With "Golden Eye", "Tomorrow’s Empire", "Black Sun Crisis" and four works, he has re-created a handsome and charming and masculine 007 image, which is recognized by fans as the most handsome 007 in history.

For most Chinese movie fans, understanding the classic secret agent image of 007 begins with Pierce Brosnan. The duel between Jackie Chan and Brosnan’s two characters in "British Showdown" is also a peak showdown between the "King of Kung Fu" in the East and the "King of Agents" in the West. The collaboration between the two international action stars is bound to collide with a particularly intense spark.

3. Save 007 for the second time and create a classic again, a Hollywood commercial film

Martin Campbell’s name may not be well known to domestic audiences, but his films have been very popular and left a deep imprint on the history of world cinema. In 1995, Martin Campbell collaborated with Pierce Brosnan for the first time. With "007: Golden Eye", it revolutionized the public’s impression of Bond, the king of British agents, creating the most popular 007 film in the history of the 007 series, and when the 007 series was once in the doldrums, it was rejuvenated. It was not until 2006 that Martin Campbell directed "007: Casino Royale", and Daniel Craig took over as the sixth 007, which revived the 007 series.

As the two-time gold medal director who saved the 007 series, Martin Campbell has gradually become widely recognized as "the master of Hollywood commercial films". In addition to the 007 series, he has assembled Anthony Banderas and Anthony Hopkins, two leading actors, to create two works and redefine the classic image of Zorro as a lone hero. Martin Campbell’s directing of "British Showdown" has given the film a stronger guarantee of quality and is bound to make the film called the next Hollywood classic.

4. National Muse Liu Tao made his debut in Hollywood, breaking through the image and pretending to be elderly makeup

"British Showdown" has released the movie promotion song "Ordinary People" sung by Jackie Chan and Liu Tao, which moved thousands of netizens with moving tunes and heartfelt lyrics. At the same time, this promotion song also revealed the tearjerking warmth of Jackie Chan and Liu Tao in "British Showdown". Since his debut, Liu Tao has created many popular roles, and the ever-changing image of Liu Tao has long been recognized by countless audiences. And "British Showdown" is Liu Tao’s first entry into Hollywood, which can be said to be an important step towards a new peak in her career.

In "The Battle of England", Liu Tao changed the image of the former Muse temperament and turned the creation upside down, playing a simple and ordinary middle-aged woman, trying to dress up in old age, looking haggard. Liu Tao once revealed in an interview: "This time the character has a lot of changes in image, from makeup to the overall look, the director dyed a lot of white hair for me, a lot of wrinkles and age spots, and tried to be close to the film character." For Liu Tao, this is a great challenge, and for Chinese audiences who know Liu Tao well, it will be a novel adventure.

5. Jackie Chan’s image deliberately grows old, challenging introverted revenge drama acting to re-create the peak

Jackie Chan has said many times that he hopes to play more of his favorite roles and try to shoot different types of movies, and the change of Jackie Chan in "British Showdown" is surprising. Jackie Chan’s role in "British Showdown" is Guan Yuming, an old man in his seventies. Therefore, in order to be more in line with the character’s setting, the director specially aged Jackie Chan’s appearance, and constantly told Jackie Chan to move as slowly as possible. FilmJackie Chan, whose face was wrinkled and scarred, caused countless audiences to feel distressed and applauded his attitude towards the performance.

In addition, Jackie Chan temporarily gave up his decades-old comic image in film, and instead created a sad character who is taciturn, has a rough life, and takes up arms to avenge his daughter. In his performance, he pays more attention to forbearance and rich layers of inner drama. This kind of Jackie Chan, for every audience, seems strange and full of freshness. Jackie Chan does not want to be bound by a specific style, and his performance in "British Showdown" is the best proof. Now 63 years old, Jackie Chan is still constantly breaking through himself and challenging new roles, so that audiences have to look forward to each of his works.

6. Jackie Chan innovates action dramas to break through impressions, and never forgets his original intention with his life

Jackie Chan made a subversive change in "British Showdown", personally participated in the action design in "British Showdown", establishing a new action style label for Jackie Chan movies. Although the film still retains the elements of action, it is different from the previous dragon-style playful kung fu. "British Showdown" pays more attention to the realism of action scenes, using a lot of hand-to-hand combat to constantly stimulate the audience’s senses.

However, due to Jackie Chan’s long-term filming of highly dangerous action scenes without the use of stuntmen, he was hospitalized for surgery due to severe muscle decay during the filming of the film. But after the doctor told him to stop filming martial arts scenes, Jackie Chan still focused on the filming of the film and continued to perform high-risk human stunts himself. Such a thrilling performance with personal risk continues Jackie Chan’s most admirable film spirit, and it is also Jackie Chan’s never-changing sincerity and hard work.

7. Assemble two classic magic actors to create an epic cast

In addition to Jackie Chan and Brosnan, the two heroes of the East and West, and the strong addition of the national Muse Liu Tao, the audience can also find more familiar faces in the "British Showdown". Liang Peishi made her debut as a Chinese student Zhang Qiu in the film, and then had an affectionate kiss with Harry Potter in the film. Her appearance also attracted more Chinese fans for the "Harry Potter" series. And Michael McElhatton played Luce Bolton in the TV drama. He looks mild-mannered, but he is ruthless and calculating. He killed the "young wolf master" Robb Stark at the red wedding. His powerful acting skills have won the admiration of thousands of audiences.

Liang Peishi and Michael McElhatton, two powerful actors from the two Western magic legends, joined the "British Showdown" to gather top actors from across Asia and Europe to create an epic all-star lineup, which undoubtedly guaranteed the film’s international quality and further upgraded the audience’s expectations for the film.

8. Hollywood’s top production, dedicated to creating the only international giant of the National Day file

In addition to the powerful epic cast of Jackie Chan, Brosnan, Liu Tao, Liang Peishi, etc., the behind-the-scenes team of Hollywood’s top configuration is also a major highlight of the film. There are both Hollywood gold director Martin Campbell and Hollywood photographer David Tattersall. He has shown superb photography standards in many Hollywood classics such as "David Tattersall".

In addition, "British Showdown" also brought together Peter Buchman and David Marconi, two of Hollywood’s top screenwriters, to jointly complete the screenwriting of the film. Peter Buchman served as the screenwriter, which brought this classic series of Hollywood commercial films that are well-known in the world to a perfect conclusion; David Marconi wrote the screenplay starring Will Smith, which earned more than 100 million dollars in global box office, and was also recognized by fans as a masterpiece. The collaboration of the two super writers makes "British Showdown" more guaranteed under the packaging of dazzling Hollywood commercial elements. The deep core of the story is even more guaranteed.

9. The panorama shows the British style, and the real scene blasting is shocked

In terms of filmmaking, "Britain" also shows the quality of top international blockbusters. The film was filmed in many places in London, and at the "Return to Hollywood" conference, it also showed a number of film shooting locations. The director once revealed that in order to truly show the British style, the crew had paid for London residents to temporarily move to hotels, and once again requisitioned civilian housing as a filming location.

For a large number of explosive scenes in the film, the director insisted on using real explosions to achieve the effect of shocking and magnificent scenes. For example, in the film, a double-decker bus suddenly exploded on the Rambeth Bridge next to the British Parliament Building, burning into the skyBlack smoke strewn across the Thames, and the visual effects of the grand scene were awe-inspiring. The crew submitted an application to the relevant authorities in advance to complete the shooting of the live blasting at the landmark London site, and the filming permission was not received until two months later. The director also broke the news: "The staff responsible for pressing the blasting button was on the bus at that time."

10. A perfect reproduction of the best-selling British novel, with a political conspiracy full of suspense

Adapted from the best-selling novel "The Chinaman" by British author Stephen Leather, "The British Showdown" tells the story of Guan Yuming (Jackie Chan, played), a small restaurant owner living in Chinatown, England, who is desperate because his daughter (Liang Peishi, played) is tragically killed in a terrorist attack, and the inaction of the relevant departments makes him even more angry. In order to get justice for his daughter, he refuses Lin Baoyi (Liu Tao, played) to keep him and embarks on a road of revenge against the terrorist organization. At this time, the appearance of the point person Hannes (Pierce Brosnan, played) uncovers a complex conspiracy…

This suspense-filled and gripping story has the support of a wide audience in itself, and it integrates rich elements such as politics, counter-terrorism, action, family love, and revenge. The movie "British Showdown" is also enough to feast the eyes of a wider audience.

It is reported that the film "The British Showdown" was produced by Beijing Yaolai Film and Culture Media Co., Ltd., STX Entertainment Company of the United States, and Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., directed by Martin Campbell, and starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Liu Tao, and Liang Peishi. As the only international action blockbuster during the National Day, on September 30, the movie "The British Showdown" will be fully launched and gradually land on the global screen for a shocking opening, so stay tuned!

On April 1, Leslie Cheung’s last concert, which was also considered a "classic", "Passion" Ultra HD Repair, premiered globally on TME live, QQ Music, WeChat Channels, Tencent Video and other platforms.

The ultra-clear repair version of the concert by Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Universal Music’s record label Polygram jointly launched, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab undertook the specific repair work of the concert video.

　

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is affiliated to Tencent CSIG Business Group (Cloud and Smart Industry Business Group). It has been engaged in video processing since 2013. One of its main responsibilities is to provide fully automated digital repair technology to various internal product departments, featuring low cost and high efficiency. Batch processing of 2D-based massive videos in Tencent Cloud and other systems.

　

According to reports, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is mostly engaged in the repair of movies, TV dramas and other scenes. The repair of concerts is the first time. The difficulty lies in the fact that portraits and scenes can change and switch rapidly in the concert lighting. However, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has previously accumulated less data in this regard.

　

Li Songnan, director of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab, told Dongxi Entertainment that this also gave Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab the opportunity to upgrade the system and algorithm of the repair technology by repairing this concert.

　

Li Songnan said that the goal of this restoration is to ensure that the repair is as old as the old, but also to preserve the artistic effect of the concert. Due to the many scenes of the concert screen and the complicated changes caused by frequent lighting and switching, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has adopted the measure of "algorithmic classification processing for different scenes" to find the optimal solution in the continuous trial and error, and at the same time add manual intervention to optimize the algorithm parameters.

　

The restoration of Leslie Cheung’s concert has further enriched the restoration category of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab. In view of the strong demand for the restoration of old films, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab plans to further connect its own technology with various demand parties, and use technology to achieve the goal of helping the inheritance of classic culture.

　

First attempt at concert repair

Automated digital repair + manual intervention combined

　

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab expert researcher Xia Zhen told Dongxi Entertainment that the cooperation between Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab and Polygram began in early March.

"At that time, Tencent Music Entertainment Group contacted Polygold Records, and the two sides had their own needs, and the cooperation was reached very quickly."

　

Xia Zhen introduced that since the establishment of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab in 2013, one of the main technical directions has been fully automatic digital repair, but previously it was mainly engaged in the repair of movies, TV series, etc., and it was the first time to engage in the repair of concerts.

　

"Concert scenes are not as stable as movies and TV dramas, which are more uniform in terms of color and artistic style, and are more suitable for automatic repair through algorithms. The picture, color and scene of concerts are constantly changing and switching. Previously, the algorithm model of Tencent Cloud Lab did not process much data on concert scenes, so it would be difficult to automate repair based on algorithms," Xia Zhen said frankly.

　

In this regard, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is based on a set of automated processing engines.According to the different scenes of the concert screen, the algorithm classification processing is carried out to find the optimal solution in the continuous trial and error, and the manual intervention optimization is completed.

Xia Zhen gave an example. For example, for a large scene in a concert, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab used GAN superfractions to repair it. Before the repair, such large scenes were generally blurred, but after GAN superfractions, the clarity and texture were greatly optimized. For example, if there is a lot of noise in a concert, the technical team will also reduce the noise for this scene.

　

It is understood that pure algorithm repair usually takes only two days, but this time it is a concert, so more time is spent trying different algorithms to ensure that there is a balance between the results of the algorithm and the final effect.

This is also related to the overall goal set by Tencent Cloud Lab for this fix:That is to repair the old as the old, while ensuring the improvement of image quality, it can also retain the original artistic effect of the whole concert.

　

However, Xia Zhen also said that there is no standard in the industry to define the degree of repair, "I can only say that this is the goal or purpose, and then try to adjust the algorithm towards this goal, and then try to judge according to the degree visible to the naked eye."

　

"For example, the resolution of the master tape we got at that time was only 720 × 480, which was not high. But after the repair, the relevant image quality has indeed been greatly improved. We have achieved a resolution close to 4K, and the resolution has been increased by about 6 times. The smoothness of the whole picture has also been improved. We have also made some optimizations in the frame rate, including some details of Leslie Cheung’s face, as well as his eyes, eyes, and the long fake hair he wore throughout the concert. The hair is much better than before." Xia Zhen said.

　

　

Borrow the concert to repair

Realize the dual iteration of the original technical system + algorithm

　

Li Songnan said that by repairing Leslie Cheung’s concert, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has also undergone a relatively large number of technical iterations, mainly including system-level iterations and algorithm-level iterations.

　

The system-level iteration is mainly on the iteration of the analysis module.According to the introduction, in terms of the repair process, it is generally divided into four steps. One is intelligent analysis, which mainly analyzes the quality of the video, including the type and degree of distortion; the other is repair, which is mainly used to repair various distortions in the video, such as the distortion that often occurs in old movies, such as noise, interlaced distortion, etc.; the third is enhancement, the goal is to make the image content look clearer and richer; the fourth is coding, that is, to restore the content of the video at as little bit rate as possible.

　

The iteration of the analysis module is the first step in the repair workflow. Li Songnan said that since the algorithm of Tencent Cloud Lab has basically not touched the type of concerts before, the video content of various industries varies greatly, especially the type and intensity of video distortion in different generations are very different. "This requires the adaptability of the iterative analysis module, so that under the principle of minimizing manual intervention, the analysis module can adaptively handle different types of videos."

　

Algorithmic iteration mainly refers to video super-resolution and face repair.

　

Li Songnan said that the original work of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab was mainly video noise reduction and background enhancement, based on traditional algorithms.

　

"After that, many of the models on Tencent Cloud were based on AI and deep learning, but they were originally based on convolutional neural networks, and now they are expanded to use generative networks because generative networks can generate a lot of details," Li Songnan said.

　

Another major iteration is face repair.According to reports, the previous face repair in the industry was mainly based on pictures. The face repair in the video of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab was considered an innovative attempt in the industry. At the same time, with this concert starting to be based on video repair, the lab also began to make some artificial algorithm parameter adjustments based on the algorithm.

　

Li Songnan introduced: "During this research and development process, I tried some technical methods, accumulated some good results, and became a good experience in the laboratory. Of course, there is still room for progress in the future."

　

The market demand for old film restoration is increasing day by day

Technology empowered culture

　

According to official information, the Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is a technology-oriented laboratory under the Tencent CSIG business group, and its work mainly consists of two parts. First, it will participate in the formulation of international and domestic multimedia-related standards; second, it will provide the daily accumulated technology to Tencent Cloud, Tencent PCG (Tencent Platform and Content Business Group) and WXG (Tencent WeChat Business Group), and Tencent Music Entertainment Group and other departments internally, and export the technology to customers externally.

　

Li Songnan introduced,At present, the common "old film repair" in the market generally has two categories: physical repair and digital repair. Physical repair refers to the repair of film, including removing impurities on it and repairing deformation; while digital repair is divided into automatic repair and manual repair.

　

"At present, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab mainly focuses on fully automated repair based on machine learning and deep learning. The goal is to use algorithmic automation to reduce the cost of subsequent manual repair and improve related efficiency through less human intervention," Li Songnan said.

　

This path choice comes from the needs faced by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab. "Since the user videos served by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab are very large, it is impossible to do fine offline processing for each video, so it is necessary to continuously improve the adaptive ability of the algorithm to achieve the purpose of saving time and increasing efficiency."

　

Li Songnan, for example, for a two-hour concert, traditional manual repair may take one or two months. But from the perspective of algorithm repair, the result can be run in two days.

　

It is understood that the market demand for the restoration of old films is increasing, and many film studios and TV stations have accumulated a large number of old videos. Some of them plan to be re-released or need to be adapted to the current 4K or 8K TV. In addition, some entertainers also need to restore earlier concerts.

　

"The restoration of old films is a relatively long-term thing, and it can be done all the time," Mr. Li said. "The reason is that the quality of the videos that the audience sees now is not bad, and the quality may not be good in three or five years. At the same time, the viewing equipment is also being upgraded. For example, VR monitors and immersive displays will be used more and more in the future, and the update of the display method will accelerate the diversification of the demand for old film restoration technology."

　

Li Songnan stressed that the current video processing is mainly based on 2D video repair and enhancement, and in terms of resolution and frame rate, try to improve the user’s immersion in 2D conditions."But in terms of the future direction, it may also develop in a holographic way.3DAlso, including3Freedom, and finally6Degrees of freedom, the lab has invested in this. "

　

However, Li Songnan also pointed out that some voices have raised the question of whether the current video repair can be used in more social fields, such as optimizing surveillance video and cracking down on crimes. "Although the current technology can achieve face repair and face clearing, it is still difficult to apply in the actual security field. It is impossible to judge whether it is that person from the video. After all, it is generated by an algorithm, and it is not suitable to use it as evidence.

　

Li Songnan said that at present, as a technical department of the laboratory, more business goals are to cooperate with more partners with the ability of the laboratory’s ultra-clear immersion repair engine, while helping the development of the audio & video industry, empowering the classic culture through technology.
