Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are used to bridge the resolution gap between 4K and 8K TVs in the world, where 4K TV broadcasts have not yet spread. Algorithms can also be used to upgrade content available in 1080p or 720p to work at the required resolution on 4K and 8K TVs. Samsung focuses heavily on AI-based self-upgrading in 8K TVs, especially as it seeks to dominate the market.
Maeil Business Newspaper cited two key engineers: Ahn Tae-gyong and Park Sung Ho in Samsung's Visual Electronics business, which are behind the development of the technology: All Samsung 8K TVs to be released next year will be Equipped with an advanced program based on deep learning techniques.
According to the engineers, Samsung will be the first in the world in the application of deep learning technology in image enhancement, which will result in better image improvement compared to machine learning technology. The 8K models will be showcased at CES 2020 early next year.
Samsung's new Micro LED display may also rely on this technology. Raising the resolution to 8K using AI can provide improved audio clarity by adjusting the sound levels to images on the screen. Millions of images are now being studied by AI algorithms in advance to analyze the correlation between image characteristics and sound quality and compensate for any deficiencies by reference.
Since 2016, Samsung has invested more than US $ 85 million in AI-based self-improvement technologies.
