Summary of the talk
We are experiencing an accelerated evolution of digital technologies. In the field of image processing, after the emergence of artificial intelligence, and in particular generative models (stable diffusion, transformers, generative adversarial networks, etc.) we are producing results of a visual quality unparalleled in the past. These same techniques are also being successfully applied to digital enhancement, to regenerate images that have suffered some form of degradation (noise, blurring, loss of pixels, etc.). In this talk we will address digital image enhancement and its relationship with vision (human and artificial) from a current general perspective, emphasizing the different criteria that exist to evaluate the quality of the methods, and how the choice of one criterion or another radically conditions what we can expect and what we cannot in each field of application.
