Beijing AlGC audio-visual industry innovation center starts construction, using AI to recreate the "true appearance" of Yongle Palace murals

Release time:Jun 07, 2024 09:32 AM

The murals of Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, Shanxi were created in the Yuan Dynasty more than 800 years ago. They are a treasure of ancient Chinese painting art. Its large-scale murals occupy an important position in the history of world art. At the 2024 National Cultural Industry Innovation Experimental Zone Development Conference held today, Tang Jiayu, co-founder and CEO of Shengshu Technology, demonstrated the use of AI technology to recreate the "true appearance" of the Yongle Palace murals.

As the only remaining large-scale mural group from the Yuan Dynasty in my country, the Yongle Palace murals have experienced hundreds of years of exposure and erosion, and are facing problems such as fading, dusting, and damage, and are in urgent need of restoration work. However, the Yongle Palace murals are huge in size, extremely rare in style, and rich in details, which makes the restoration work more difficult.

In order to solve the problem of "difficult repair" of the Yongle Palace murals, Shengshu Technology introduced large-scale localized knowledge training, so that the image generation model has strong understanding and generation capabilities for Chinese elements such as murals. On this basis, professional knowledge of murals and art is introduced, a large number of image data of ancient murals are cut and annotated in a targeted manner, and the model is trained and fine-tuned so that the model can learn the Yongle Palace murals from aspects such as color, brushstrokes, and character modeling. unique painting style, thereby achieving automatic repair.

This is an application of AIGC technology in the display of cultural relics. Experts said that AIGC has developed rapidly in the past two years, and now GPT-4o can embody personality characteristics and support the input and output of any combination of text, images, audio and video.

At the conference, the construction of Beijing's first AlGC audio-visual industry innovation center was launched, aiming to promote the forward-looking layout, technology incubation and application development of new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence and ultra-high-definition audio-visual in the audio-visual industry and related fields, and strive to build an audio-visual industry ecosystem. circle to create a production center for China’s digital audio-visual industry.

It is understood that the innovation center has independent, controllable, safe and reliable advanced digital infrastructure support, and is planning to build a phase of about 200P training and push integrated artificial intelligence computing power, which can meet the requirements of audio-visual companies for technological innovation, model training, reasoning applications, and products. Large-scale computing power needs such as research and development.

The innovation center integrates cutting-edge technologies and functions such as film and television script creation, AI face-changing and voice-changing, scene production, storyboard design, virtual digital human, 3D modeling, special effects processing, XR virtual reality content production, rendering production, etc. to support content production The company conducts independent research and development and personalized customized services, and gradually explores and forms a global model ecosystem for the audio-visual industry to help companies reduce costs and increase efficiency.
