Kingsoft Cloud Image Enhancement
Kingsoft Cloud Image Enhancement (KIE) enhances image quality based on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. KIE reconstructs images based on local areas and details through machine learning and uses the super-resolution (SR) technology to enhance image quality. KIE applies to low-resolution images downloaded from the Internet, images with compression-induced quality degradation, screenshot images, out-of-focus photos, and old photos. By using the compression technology, KIE reduces the image transmission costs by 75%
Key Advantages
High Image Quality
Uses the SR and inpainting technologies to effectively improve the visual effects of images.
Reduced Bandwidth
Transmits images at a higher compression rate and decompresses the images in real time at the display end, to reduce the transmission bandwidth by 75%.
Cross-platform Support
Supports iOS, Android, and browsers.
Small Size
Comes as a 1 MB SDK, to achieve deployment at lower costs.
Features
Image Restoration
KIE removes the noise and mosaics generated during image compression, and enhances the quality of old photos, fuzzy photos, and low-resolution photos with an amazing effect.
Intelligent Amplification
KIE can implement 2x to 4x SR on images to retain more image details and produce clearer, sharper, and cleaner images than conventional methods.
Real-time Processing
KIE responses within milliseconds.
Compatibility
KIE supports mainstream image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and WebP.

Bandwidth Saving Scheme
KIE for Mobile
With KIE, you can render low-resolution images into high-resolution images in real time on mobile terminals to restore as many image details as possible and improve the image quality.
Image Enhancement
With super-resolution、inpainting technologies, the quality of images can be improved largely.
KIE requests can be done in real-time.
With milliscecond response time, real-time process can be made in most Android/IOS phones.
KIE for Servers
Enhance low-resolution images on server, which can improve the quality of images without decode on mobile side. This model can be applied in e-commerce、news、social networks scenarios。
Image Enhancement
With super-resolution、inpainting technologies, the quality of images can be improved largely.
Process differently by categories
Different approaches are applied according to the category of images, which enhance the quality of images further.
Bandwidth Saving Scheme
KIE is an end-to-end image transmission solution, compress images on the server side, decompress images on the client side. This solution is applicable in image delivery scenarios, such as e-commerce、social networks and news app, which can save 30%-50% bandwidth costs.
Image Compression
KIE compresses images With AI technologies, which reduces image storage and transmission bandwidth
