  • Patent number: 12136189
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for image enhancement. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image enhancement system with a feedback mechanism that provides quantifiable image enhancement information. An image enhancement system may include a discriminator network that determines the quality of the media object. In cases where the discriminator network determines that the media object has a low image quality score (e.g., an image quality score below a quality threshold), the image enhancement system may perform enhancement on the media object using an enhancement network (e.g., using an enhancement network that includes a generative neural network or a generative adversarial network (GAN) model). The discriminator network may then generate an enhancement score for the enhanced media object that may be provided to the user as a feedback mechanism (e.g.
