A quite common problem at all Wikimedia sites; we have a photo but the quality is poor. An example is the old photo from the cabins at Mørkedalen where a group of fighters hid out during the invasion of Norway.[1]
I've been using some manual tools to restore images, but it is very slow and the result is often not very good. What if we could automate the process? The work "Deep Image Prior"[2] could be a solution, it is quite awesome, but it is a bit too difficult to configure for most users.
There are several such automated tools, or algorithms that can be turned into automated tools, but the question is; do we want an automated tool set, or do we want to keep on doing things manually?
