Microsoft Research team Ziyu Wan, Bo Zhang, and more have developed a new AI-based algorithm for restoring old photos that suffer from severe degradation through a deep learning approach.

Unlike conventional restoration tasks that can be solved through supervised learning, the degradation in real photos is complex and the domain gap between synthetic images and real old photos makes the network fail to generalize.
Their new technique proposes a novel triplet domain translation network by leveraging real photos along with massive synthetic image pairs.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has not made a demo site available to try out the technology, but hopefully, the company will take the hint.

Microsoft: Enhancing your photos through artificial intelligence

The amount of visual data we accumulate around the world is mind boggling. However, not all the images are captured by high-end DSLR cameras, and very often they suffer from imperfections. It is of tremendous benefit to save those degraded images so that users can reuse them for their own design or other aesthetic purposes.
