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?
